Flight compensation Widerøe:
Bodo — Tromso

Claim your compensation for Widerøe Bodo - Tromso

The endless wait at Bodo towards Tromso with Widerøe doesn't have to go uncompensated. Let's explore your options.

Departing from Bodo, you are protected by EU law. The distance of 326 km determines the amount of your compensation. The first tier (≤1500 km) applies.

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.

Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.

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

To verify if your flight between Bodo and Tromso is eligible for a payout, the key criterion is the arrival delay ({not the departure delay|measured at Tromso}). It must exceed 3 hours.

Be cautious: Widerøe may attempt to offer a voucher in exchange. Don't sign anything without consulting an expert.

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 regulation is very clear: assistance is not an optional courtesy from Widerøe. It is a binding duty that can be sanctioned.
