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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (CPH)
  • Arrival airport: Haugesund Airport (HAU)
  • Flight distance: 608 km (~0h46)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

How to know if the flight Widerøe Copenhagen - Haugesund is eligible?

Your eligibility rests on objective criteria. Eurocontrol data will verify the precise moment of actual arrival at Haugesund Airport.

Even if Widerøe offers a replacement flight, the 250€ indemnity remains owed if the final delay at Haugesund is over the 180-minute threshold.

What are the conditions for Widerøe to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Widerøe compensation

The CJEU has definitively ruled: staff strikes are not force majeure for carriers. This precedent is authoritative across all 27 EU member states.

Remember that the burden of proof lies with Widerøe. It is up to the airline to prove that the delay of your Copenhagen→Haugesund flight was caused by a genuinely extraordinary event.

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

During that interminable wait in the hall at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, remember Widerøe has a duty to look after you. This includes food, but also the right to free communications at no cost.

The full package of assistance includes: refreshments, hot meals if the delay warrants it, two free communications, and accommodation plus transfers if the flight is postponed. Everything at the expense of Widerøe.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Widerøe?

Airlines like Widerøe have whole departments specialised in deterring unassisted passengers. Against this imbalance, being supported makes all the difference.

By delegating your CPH→HAU case to specialist partners, you enjoy the "No Win, No Fee" principle (no cost if unsuccessful).

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Patience is often key. Airlines receive a huge volume of claims every week and your Copenhagen to Haugesund Airport case can stall if you remain passive.

A collective action on the Widerøe flight from Copenhagen can also be a way to {get your funds|recover your 250€} faster.

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

It is quite common for Widerøe's systems to refuse by default your initial claim under a generic pretext that is unfounded.

The win rate of expert platforms against Widerøe reaches 95-98% when the case is well-founded. This demonstrates the power of EU law against airline stalling tactics.
