Claiming from Norwegian: what to know
Norwegian is a Scandinavian low-cost airline based in Oslo, flying across the Nordics and to holiday destinations in southern Europe. Norway applies EU 261 through the EEA agreement, so Norwegian is bound by it on flights into, out of and within Europe.
Before you claim
- 01
Norwegian flights may be operated by Norwegian Air Shuttle or Norwegian Air Sweden. Both are EEA airlines, and the operating one is liable.
- 02
Domestic Norwegian and Swedish flights are covered, as are flights from Spain and the Canary Islands back to Scandinavia.
- 03
You're entitled to compensation in money. CashPoints or vouchers only replace it if you agree to that in writing.

Which Norwegian flights are covered
What counts is the route and the airline's licence — not where you bought the ticket, what you paid or which passport you hold.

Departing an EU/EEA airport
To any destination in the world
- Covered
Arriving in the EU/EEA from outside
Only when the airline holds an EU licence

Departing a UK airport
Under UK 261: £220 to £520 per passenger
Norwegian holds an EU operating licence, so it owes compensation on flights into Europe from outside as well.
Compensation
How much Norwegian owes you
The amount is fixed by flight distance. A €20 promo fare and a flexible business ticket are worth exactly the same.
Up to 1,500 km
€250
e.g. Dublin–London, Barcelona–Paris
1,500–3,500 km
€400
e.g. London–Athens, Madrid–Warsaw
Over 3,500 km
€600
e.g. Frankfurt–New York, Paris–Doha
Per passenger — for arrival delays of three hours or more, short-notice cancellations and denied boarding.
Flights within the EU over 1,500 km are always paid at €400.
Common pushback
What Norwegian may say — and what the law says
A rejection is where most claims start, not where they end. These are the replies we challenge most often.
“It was a technical problem.”
Faults found during normal operation are part of running an airline. Courts rarely accept them as extraordinary circumstances.
“The weather was bad.”
Only weather that made your specific flight unsafe counts. We check the claim against meteorological and airport records.
“The aircraft arrived late from its previous flight.”
A knock-on delay only excuses the airline if the original cause was itself extraordinary — and the airline has to prove it.
“Our crew went on strike.”
A strike by the airline's own staff is within its control. The European Court of Justice has ruled it does not exempt the carrier.
“We already gave you meal vouchers.”
Meals, hotels and rebooking are care, not compensation. Accepting them never waives your right to be paid.

FAQ
Norwegian compensation questions
Still unsure? Check your flight for free — it takes two minutes and commits you to nothing.
How much compensation can I get from Norwegian?
Between €250 and €600 per passenger, depending on flight distance. Delays must be three hours or more at arrival, and cancellations must be announced less than 14 days before departure. What you paid for the ticket makes no difference.
Can I claim from Norwegian myself?
Yes, filing with Norwegian directly is free. Many passengers come to us because first claims are often rejected or ignored — we handle the follow-up, the regulator and court if needed, and only charge if you get paid.
How far back can I claim against Norwegian?
It depends on the country where the claim is filed. Limitation periods are set nationally and range from about one year to six years, so flights from the last few years are often still claimable. Check yours for free.
Norwegian rebooked me or gave me vouchers. Can I still claim?
Usually, yes. Rebooking, meals and hotel rooms are duties of care and don't replace compensation. Only an agreement where you explicitly gave up your compensation would change that.
How long does Norwegian take to pay?
Straightforward claims are often settled within a few weeks to a few months. If Norwegian refuses and the claim goes to a regulator or court, it can take longer. We keep you updated at every step.
What if Norwegian blames extraordinary circumstances?
Ask for specifics. Severe weather, air traffic control restrictions and security threats can be extraordinary, but technical faults and strikes by the airline's own staff usually aren't. We check the explanation against independent data before accepting it.
