I was delayed in Apr by a failed Norwegian connection Edinburgh - Oslo - Narvik. While both flights are under 1000km, together they are well over 1500km. No flight was delayed more then 3 hours but a baggage issue In Oslo (not mine and we have the bag tags to prove it) meant we did not make the connecting flight and the alternative was more then hours latter.
If I’m due compensation would it be €400 as ‘the whole booking’ was over 1500km?
Also can the airline blame customs, or should they be obliged to pay me and then take the fight up with Oslo airport?
This is the correct way to calculate the distance, you use 'the great circle mapper' and enter your starting point and ending point (not other en route destinations i.e Oslo). It's literally point to point.
Your claim is with the airline, as baggage handling is an essential part of operating an airline provided by a third party under contract to the airline.
