Flight compensation Widerøe:
Haugesund — Copenhagen

Legal right to compensation: Widerøe flight between Haugesund and Copenhagen

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

Given the route between Haugesund and Copenhagen (608 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Widerøe.

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Widerøe, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

To determine if your trip between Haugesund and Copenhagen 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 Copenhagen.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Haugesund airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Widerøe (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Widerøe compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Haugesund - Copenhagen trip is due to an internal strike within Widerøe, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Haugesund, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Widerøe.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Haugesund Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Your forced stay at Haugesund shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your HAU-CPH trip.

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 Haugesund - Copenhagen line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Widerøe convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
