Your entitlement: Widerøe flight from Haugesund to Copenhagen

The flight HAU → CPH by Widerøe suffered an incident? Delay, cancellation or overbooking, you may be entitled to a legal payout.

Given the distance between Haugesund and Copenhagen (608 km), CE 261 mandates a statutory payout in case of fault by Widerøe. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from Widerøe, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

An class change doesn't change your right to 250€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The amount stays fixed at this short-haul tier.
