Flight compensation Widerøe:
Bodo — Tromso

Claim and compensation for flight Widerøe Bodo - Tromso

The BOO - TOS route operated by Widerøe experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Bodo, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 326 km determines your legal compensation level.

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 airline, if the flight takes off from Bodo, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Widerøe Bodo - Tromso is eligible?

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

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Widerøe to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Widerøe compensation

Don't be fooled by Widerøe's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Widerøe is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

If Bodo airport becomes your temporary residence because of Widerøe, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Your forced stay at Bodo shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your BOO-TOS trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Widerøe?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Widerøe boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Bodo airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

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?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Widerøe. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Widerøe flight from Bodo can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Bodo - Tromso line.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
