Guidance to claim Wideroe
Ask the reason why Wideroe flight got delayed or cancelled
The reason of the delay is critical: specially if you don´t have the boarding passes.
Wideroe delayed flights for 3 or more hours
To be entitled to a compensation, Wideroe delayed flight must be higher than 3 hours.
Overbooking at Wideroe flight
Wideroe Overbooking: When Wideroe sells more tickets than the actual number of people they can take.
The overbooking is legal, but you are entitled to a compensation up to € 600.
Wideroe aims to avoid empty seats due to no-shows, and this must be legally sanctioned.
Once a Wideroe passenger has received a flight ticket or any document stating the payment has been accepted and registered, it is a “confirmed reservation”. Boarding denials happen when a passenger presents to the gate but Wideroe refuses them access to the plane.
How do I know how long the Wideroe flight delay has been?
- 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.
- Use the web Flight Stats where if you register you can see the Wideroe status of all flights including those of years ago.
- 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.
