Flight compensation Widerøe:
Stokmarknes — Bodo

How to claim your money from Widerøe on Stokmarknes (SKN) → Bodo (BOO)

No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If Widerøe didn't honour its scheduled times for your Stokmarknes - Bodo flight, the law is on your side.

Regardless of the fare €50 or €500, the indemnity is fixed: 250€ per passenger. {The distance|The 148 km} is what counts, not the fare. On this short flight, the fixed compensation is guaranteed.

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.

Bear in mind: only genuine force majeure (exceptional conditions, ATC restrictions, political instability) exempt Widerøe from this obligation. In all other cases, compensation must be paid.
