How do I know how long the Wideroe flight delay has been?

 claim Wideroe delayed flight

  1. Have a Lexority lawyer to tell you how long was the delay of the Wideroe flight without any doubt. Take in to account that the following sites are not always accurate and need a payment record.
  2. Use the web Flight Stats where if you register you can see the Wideroe status of all flights including those of years ago.
  3. Another way is entering to Flight Radar where you can see the last seven days Wideroe flight delays without registering. After registration you can also see delayed flights from up to 2 years ago.

Note: When the Wideroe delay is very close to 3 hours, Flightradar24 is not 100% reliable, since it shows the time of landing, but not the exit from the plane, which is what the law says has to be taken in consideration.
