Important: EU261 compensation (€250–€600) may be reduced or not applicable if the airline proves extraordinary circumstances (e.g. severe weather, war, security threats, air traffic control strikes). However, your Right to Care is always guaranteed regardless of extraordinary circumstances — airlines must provide meals, hotel accommodation, transport, and communication during any disruption. The Montreal Convention (up to €7,700) also applies to all international flights for proven damages with receipts, independent of extraordinary circumstances. SkyAid assesses every available compensation route for your claim.

SAS Flight Compensation — EU261 & Montreal Convention Rights

SAS cancelled compensation: If your SAS flight was cancelled with less than 14 days notice, you are entitled to €250–€600 under EU261 depending on flight distance, plus Right to Care (meals, hotel, transport) regardless of the reason for cancellation. The Montreal Convention provides additional coverage of up to €7,700 for proven damages on international flights.

SAS delayed compensation: For delays of 3+ hours at arrival, EU261 entitles you to €250–€600. For delays of 2+ hours, Right to Care kicks in — meals, refreshments, hotel if overnight, and transport. The Montreal Convention covers up to €7,700 in proven damages for any international SAS delay.

Eligibility: Denied boarding and missed connections also qualify. Claims up to 6 years after the flight date. SkyAid fees from 20% — no win, no fee.

SAS Compensation FAQ

How much SAS compensation can I get?

SAS is an EU-regulated airline, so all flights departing and arriving in the EU qualify for EU261 compensation: €250 for flights under 1,500km, €400 for 1,500–3,500km, and €600 for flights over 3,500km. On top of this, the Montreal Convention covers up to €7,700 in proven trip expenses — missed hotels, wasted tours, lost business meetings, food and transport costs. Both can be claimed simultaneously for a total recovery of over €8,300.

How many SAS flights have been disrupted recently?

In the last 90 days, SAS has recorded 1,580 flight disruptions — 0 cancellations and 0 delays. The average delay is 4 hours 43 minutes. Every affected passenger may be entitled to SAS compensation. SkyAid checks your flight automatically.

What expenses can I claim for a SAS disruption?

Under the Montreal Convention, you can claim up to €7,700 for proven expenses caused by any international SAS flight disruption. This includes non-refundable hotel bookings, missed tours and events, wasted restaurant reservations, lost business meetings and conference fees, cruise departures, wedding costs, food, taxis, and phone calls. Keep all receipts — SkyAid claims these on top of your EU261 fixed compensation. See the full breakdown of claimable expenses.

What if SAS claims extraordinary circumstances?

Even when SAS invokes extraordinary circumstances (severe weather, war, security threats), your Right to Care is always guaranteed — meals, hotel, transport. EU261 fixed compensation may not apply, but the Montreal Convention still covers up to €7,700 in proven expenses regardless. SkyAid challenges these defences — technical faults and crew shortages are often NOT extraordinary under EU court rulings.

What happens if I missed my connection on SAS?

If you missed a connecting flight because SAS delayed your first leg, compensation is based on your total journey distance (origin to final destination), not individual segments. This often means a higher payout than you expect. You also get free rebooking, Right to Care while waiting, and Montreal Convention expenses up to €7,700.

What does SkyAid charge for SAS claims?

No win, no fee. SkyAid charges from 20% of the compensation recovered. If we do not win your SAS claim, you pay nothing. No upfront costs, no hidden fees. We handle all communication with SAS and any legal proceedings on your behalf. See our fee structure.

How Your SAS Claim Works

Step 1: We verify your EU261 eligibility

SAS is an EU-regulated airline. Every flight departing from an EU or UK airport qualifies for EU261 protection automatically. SkyAid checks your flight number, delay duration, and route distance to calculate your exact compensation — €250, €400, or €600. No guesswork, no insurance needed.

Step 2: We check for Montreal Convention expenses

Most passengers stop at EU261. SkyAid also reviews your trip for Montreal Convention claims — missed hotels, wasted bookings, lost business, food and transport you paid out of pocket. These proven expenses can add up to €7,700 on top of your EU261 payment. Keep every receipt.

Step 3: We challenge extraordinary circumstances

Airlines reject valid claims by calling everything extraordinary circumstances. Technical faults, crew shortages, and operational failures are NOT extraordinary — EU courts have ruled on this repeatedly. SkyAid knows which defences hold up and which do not. If the airline is wrong, we pursue it.

Step 4: You get paid, we take our fee

SkyAid works on a no win, no fee basis with fees from 20%. If we recover nothing, you pay nothing. When we win, the compensation goes to your account and our fee is deducted. No upfront cost, no financial risk for you. 15 years of recovering passenger money.
