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.

Too few passengers exercise their rights (only one in seven on average). Don't allow this compensation slip away: the procedure, although bureaucratic, is guaranteed for all travellers.

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

The 3-hour threshold is measured at the moment the aircraft doors are unlocked at Sandefjord Airport, Torp. If the delay is confirmed and the disruption is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Widerøe owes you 250€.
