Reimbursement and Compensation: SAS Scandinavian Airlines

Obviously, airlines make every effort to stick to their advertised schedules, but sometimes things don’t go according to plan. Should this happen, AirHelp can take all the administrative heavy lifting off your hands and pursue the flight delay compensation claim on your behalf.

There’s no need to fill out any complicated forms if your SAS flight has been delayed. All you have to do is tap in your flight details and we’ll tell you if your delay qualifies.

Our team of trusted industry experts know the law inside out, so you don’t have to waste time going back-and-forth with the airline, or, as can happen, having to go to a small claims court to make your case.

Your right to compensation for a delayed flight depends on a few different factors, but essentially it boils down to whether or not it was Scandinavian Airlines’ fault.

You might be offered a voucher to smooth things over while you wait, but we’ve heard of instances when this form actually waives your right to the full compensation. So the best thing to do right now taps the ‘Check Compensation’ button and get started with your claim.

As soon as you do that, we’ll be able to tell you if your delayed Scandinavian Airlines flight is eligible. We just need your flight number, email address and a couple of other details to get your money to you as soon as we can.

Sometimes, Scandinavian Airlines cancels flights. This happens with all airlines and for a variety of different reasons. If they can, Scandinavian Airlines are generally willing to rebook you onto another flight at no extra charge.

In fact, in most cases of cancelled flights, the SAS systems will automatically rebook you. You can change this if the flight isn’t suitable, or you no longer wish to travel. Tickets can be re-booked on the SAS website for €65 per person, per segment within Europe.

If rebooking to a higher price category, you will pay the difference between the two fares plus, the change fee. But if you wish to cancel your flight, you must do so within 24 hours after your purchase.

AirHelp’s ‘Justice as a Service’ comes into the picture when SAS cancels a flight but doesn’t give you 14 days’ notice or offer to re-route you. If that’s the case, then a piece of European legislation called EC 261 entitles you to flight cancellation compensation as part of your rights as an air passenger within the European Union.  

The law’s on your side unless extraordinary circumstances are involved. Lightning strikes. Medical emergencies. Strikes by the airport or air traffic control (but not airline) staff.

These all count as extraordinary circumstances and the law – perfectly reasonably – deems these to be out of the control of the airlines.

An airline might say that a flight cancellation is happening because of “technical difficulties” or “operational difficulties”.

But these don’t count as “extraordinary circumstances”, so you are still eligible for flight cancellation compensation. If in doubt about what exactly has caused the cancellation, just tap the ‘Check Compensation’ button and get started with your claim.

Our team of trusted legal industry experts will be able to tell you if your cancelled Scandinavian Airlines flight is eligible. We just need your flight number, email address and a couple of other details to get your money to you as soon as we can.

If SAS has cancelled your flight due to their staffing issues, no matter if they were operated by SAS or any of their subcontractors, it’s important to be aware of your passenger rights. You could be eligible for up to $700 compensation.

Ensuring staff are available falls under the responsibility of the airline. As such you would be covered by EU regulation EC 261 which states that airlines must compensate their passengers for flight delays and cancellations. 

Use the ‘Check Compensation’ button to check, and to begin your claim.

According to the EC261 and Air passenger rights in Europe, passengers can request the following levels of compensation for delayed flights:

If your flight is delayed five hours or more, the airline legally has to give you all of the following:
