Procedure: Widerøe flight compensation from Tromso to Bergen

From Tromso 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 1 221 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: Tromso (TOS)
  • Arrival airport: Bergen Airport, Flesland (BGO)
  • Flight distance: 1 221 km (~1h32)
  • 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 Tromso - Bergen is eligible?

The compensation for flight TOS-BGO is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Tromso without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for Widerøe to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bergen.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Tromso airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Widerøe (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Tromso, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Widerøe compensation

A work stoppage of Widerøe crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

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

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Widerøe must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Tromso.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Tromso and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Widerøe?

The amicable route with Widerøe to recover 250 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Widerøe flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

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

Airlines like Widerøe sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Widerøe on your smartphone.

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 Tromso - Bergen line.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
