Get your Widerøe flight compensation for the route Stavanger - Bergen

From Stavanger Airport, Sola airport, your departure with Widerøe to Bergen didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 159 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Widerøe to pay you financial compensation.

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: Stavanger Airport, Sola (SVG)
  • Arrival airport: Bergen Airport, Flesland (BGO)
  • Flight distance: 159 km (~0h12)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Widerøe Stavanger - Bergen is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Bergen Airport, Flesland airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Widerøe owes you 250 €.

The impact of a strike on your Widerøe compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Bergen Airport, Flesland, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Stavanger - Bergen flight.

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

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Widerøe.

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