Flight compensation Thai Airways International:
Vaasa — Stockholm

Legal right to compensation: Thai Airways International flight between Vaasa and Stockholm

The VAA - ARN route operated by Thai Airways International experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Vaasa and Stockholm (430 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Thai Airways International.

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.

Did you know? Even if Thai Airways International is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Vaasa Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Thai Airways International Vaasa - Stockholm is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Thai Airways International offers you a voucher for your Vaasa - Stockholm flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 430 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Stockholm.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Thai Airways International (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Vaasa - Stockholm flight.

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