What they tend to argue
- Winter-weather defences are common on Nordic routes — valid only where weather genuinely stopped the flight.
- Multi-country hub structure means the departure state sets the limitation period.
Claim it yourself first
- Write to SAS Scandinavian Airlines quoting the article. “I am claiming under Article 7 for a delayed arrival on [flight] on [date].” Free, and you keep the whole amount. Use the template.
- Give them 28 days and diary the deadline.
- Refuse a voucher offered in place of cash.
- Escalate free to Swedish Transport Agency; or departure state's body if they refuse.
- Only then consider a claims service.
Long-haul refusals are the ones most likely to need legal follow-through. Doing it yourself costs nothing and keeps the full amount — use a service once you have hit a wall.
