Refund and compensation Scandinavian Airlines System: route Stockholm to Bergen

If your trip departing from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport and arriving at Bergen Airport, Flesland operated by Scandinavian Airlines System was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 709 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

This is not a commercial gesture from Scandinavian Airlines System, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Scandinavian Airlines System Stockholm - Bergen is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Stockholm and Bergen entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Stockholm, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Scandinavian Airlines System to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bergen.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Stockholm airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Scandinavian Airlines System (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Scandinavian Airlines System compensation

A work stoppage of Scandinavian Airlines System crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Stockholm, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Scandinavian Airlines System.

What are your rights at Stockholm airport in case of prolonged wait?

During these long hours of waiting in the Stockholm-Arlanda Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Stockholm remains valid. The hotel is due if Scandinavian Airlines System offsets your flight by one night.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Scandinavian Airlines System?

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 250 € without stress.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
