To be eligible for cancelled flight compensation, your SAS flight must have been cancelled less than 14 days prior to the original departure date.

The airline may rightfully deny you compensation in some cases. See the "Extraordinary Circumstances" section of this article for more information on such situations.

  • The airline did not offer you an alternative flight.

  • The airline did offer you an alternative flight, but you decided not to take it.

How much SAS compensation can I get for a delayed or cancelled flight?

The amount of compensation depends on the distance of your flight:

  • For flights of over 1,500 kilometres within the EU, the compensation is also £350.

  • For flights of over 3,500 kilometres outside of the EU, the compensation is £520 —but if your flight was delayed by fewer than 4 hours, the total amount might be reduced by 50%.

Extraordinary circumstances — can SAS deny me compensation?

SAS can deny flight compensation if the delay or cancellation was caused by a third party or force majeure. These situations are referred to as extraordinary circumstances.

Some of the most common extraordinary circumstances are: 
 

  • Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.

  • A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).

    However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!

  • Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.

  • Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.

  • A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.

  • An ill or unruly passenger.

  • Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.

 

Airlines can sometimes claim that an extraordinary circumstance occurred, even if this was not the case. They are hoping to avoid paying passengers flight compensation.

Don't be duped by the SAS’s false arguments. Claim online with Flight-Delayed.co.uk and improve your chances of getting your money from the airline.

How long do I have to claim my SAS compensation and refund?

Depending on the flight route, the delay might vary as it depends on: the law of the country of departure, the law of the country of arrival, and law of the country where the airline is headquartered.
