Dealing with flight disruptions can be very annoying. However, the good news is that the European Union has regulations to help travelers when things go wrong. If you’re flying in the EU, it’s wise to know about these regulations. They can come in handy if your flight goes off course.
Being aware of your options can make handling travel issues less stressful. While it won’t make your flight go any faster, it can help you feel less stressed when things go wrong.
Passenger Rights under EU Regulation 261/2004
When you’re flying in the European Union, rest assured that there’s aid available in the case of a flight disruption. EU laws ensure airlines look after their passengers when things go wrong.
When flights are delayed or cancelled, airlines must provide you:
- Meals and beverages
- A hotel room if you’re stranded overnight
- Transportation to and from the hotel
- Two free phone calls, emails, or faxes
If you’re delayed for a long time or your flight is cancelled, you might also receive:
- A refund
- A different flight option
- Compensation to make up for the inconvenience
Don’t forget to inquire with airline workers about these entitlements if your plans change. They are obligated to inform you about your rights when there’s a significant delay or cancellation.
Wideroe Airlines Flight Delay Compensation
Delays with flights from Wideroe Airlines can be really annoying. However there’s a silver lining: if you’re stranded for more than three hours because of the airline’s fault, you might be able to get some compensation.
Laws in the UK and EU are in your favor. You could be eligible for up to €600 per person. What is important is when you reach your destination, not when you take off. So monitor your arrival time if you want to seek flight delay compensation.
The amount you receive depends on your flight distance. A short flight won’t be compensated as highly as a longer flight, even if they’re both delayed for the same duration.
Interested in learning exactly how much you could get? Check out the table below to see what compensation you could receive:
| Less than 3 hours | Between 3-4 hours | Over 4 hours | Distance |
| €0 | €250 | €250 | All flights up to 1500 km |
| €0 | €400 | €400 | All flights between 1500 km and 3500 km |
| €0 | €400 | €400 | All intra-EU flights over 3500 km |
| €0 | €300 | €600 | All non-EU flights over 3500 km |
Wideroe Airlines Flight Cancellation Compensation
Europe has regulations to assist you if your flight is cancelled. Here’s what you should know:
If your flight gets cancelled less than two weeks before you’re supposed to leave, you might get compensation up to €600. But there’s a catch – the airline can avoid paying if they can get you on another flight that aligns closely with your original schedule.
The carrier can bypass compensation if they arrange a replacement flight that meets the following conditions:
| Advance Notice | Re-routing Requirements |
| 14 Days | None |
| 7 – 13 Days | Alternative flight departing no more than 2 hours before and arriving less than 4 hours after the original flight |
| Less than 7 Days | Alternative flight departing no more than 1 hour before and arriving less than 2 hours after the original flight |
If you accept another flight from the airline, you can still receive compensation. What matters most is your arrival time at your destination.
Your potential compensation is determined by a couple of points:
- How far you’re flying
- The time difference between the scheduled and actual arrival
Therefore, even if the alternative flight is delayed, you may still receive some compensation.
Check out the table below for more information:
| Under 2 hours | 2-3 hours | 3-4 hours | Over 4 hours | Never arrived | Distance |
| €125 | €250 | €250 | €250 | €250 | All flights 1,500 km or less |
| €200 | €200 | €400 | €400 | €400 | Internal EU flights over 1,500 km |
| €200 | €200 | €400 | €400 | €400 | Non-internal EU flights 1,500 km- 3,500 km |
| €300 | €300 | €300 | €600 | €600 | Non-internal EU flights over 3,500 km |
The airline might not be required to compensate you if they can provide transportation to your destination, close to the original schedule. Even with a slight delay, you might not be eligible for flight cancellation compensation.

It’s essential to be aware of how to request the compensation you’re eligible for under EU Regulation 261/2004. Here’s what you need to do:

- Let our experts help you. Once you submit the form, our team will handle the rest. We know the EU laws well and will make every effort to obtain your rightful compensation. You only pay us if we win your case.
Don’t forget that you have the right as a passenger to claim compensation for a delayed or cancelled flight. Regardless of whether your flight was delayed due to operational issues or mechanical problems, if it was not caused by extraordinary circumstances like severe weather or air traffic control decisions, you are entitled to compensation.
Which Wideroe Airlines Flights are Covered by EU261?
The air passenger protection regulations of the European Union have a wide-ranging scope. They cover all flights departing from a European Union member state airport and to all flights arriving at an airport within an EU country provided the airline is based in the EU.
| Itinerary | Covered by EU 261 |
| Flights departing EU airports | ✅ Covered |
| Flights arriving at EU airports | ✅ Covered |
These regulations also apply to airlines from Switzerland, Iceland, and Norway. This means if you’re flying with any airline within, to, or from Europe, you most likely have these rights. It’s helpful to be aware of these laws – they’re there to support you if something goes wrong with your flight. They guarantee you’re not left on your own when your trip arrangements don’t work out.
When You Are Not Entitled to Compensation
Wideroe Airlines isn’t necessarily at fault when flights are delayed or cancelled. Occasionally, situations arise that the airline has no control over, like really bad weather or unexpected problems.
For instance, if there’s a sudden storm, an emergency at the airport, or air traffic controllers go on strike, Wideroe Airlines cannot be held accountable. These are called “extraordinary circumstances” that the airline can’t do anything about.
When these situations occur, you probably won’t get any compensation. The airline isn’t viewed as doing anything wrong when these unforeseen difficulties come up.
