Flight compensation Widerøe:
Bergen — Kristiansund

Legal right: Widerøe flight between Bergen and Kristiansund

You travelled with Widerøe from Bergen to Kristiansund and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

Given the route between Bergen and Kristiansund (342 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Widerøe. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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 Widerøe is a non-EU carrier, if the flight departs from Bergen Airport, Flesland, EU regulation applies completely.

How to know if the flight Widerøe Bergen - Kristiansund is eligible?

Three conditions must be met to trigger your right to 250€: {delay exceeds 3h at Kristiansund|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Widerøe is responsible for|the fault lies with} Widerøe.

A little-known fact: you have 5 years in France to file your claim against Widerøe for the Bergen→Kristiansund flight. Don't assume it's impossible to claim if the incident was some time ago.
