By taking off from Bergen Airport, Flesland, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 142 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

Also note that the distance of 142 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.

What are the conditions for Widerøe to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Bergen, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Widerøe?

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
