Tel-aviv-Copenhagen

No reason given

I would like to request your assistance in obtaining compensation for a serious disruption to our journey from Tel Aviv to Copenhagen on 27 August 2026. 1. Booking and Passenger Details * Passengers: Anna Panov and Alexander Tseitlin * Airline: SAS (Scandinavian Airlines) * Booking reference: ZUHUQG * Ticket number – Anna Panov: 117-2546882908 * Ticket number – Alexander Tseitlin: 117-2546882909 * Travel date: 27 August 2026 * SAS compensation case number: 08197659 2. Original Booking – DIRECT SAS Flight I would particularly like to emphasize that we originally purchased a DIRECT, NON-STOP flight from Tel Aviv to Copenhagen, operated by SAS itself. Our original booking was: * Flight: SAS SK772 * Route: Tel Aviv (TLV) – Copenhagen (CPH) * Departure: 27 August 2026 at 23:55 * Arrival: 28 August 2026 at 03:40 * Aircraft: Airbus A320neo * Operator: SAS * Direct flight, without any connections We deliberately purchased a direct flight and did not choose an itinerary involving a connection or another airline. 3. SAS Cancelled the Original Direct Flight and Rebooked Us In May 2026, SAS cancelled or discontinued the originally scheduled direct service from Tel Aviv. As a result, we were required to change our itinerary. On 22 May 2026, SAS issued replacement tickets for an itinerary via Munich, under the same booking reference, ZUHUQG. The replacement flights were: First flight: * Flight: SK3165, operated by EL AL as LY353 * Route: Tel Aviv – Munich * Scheduled departure: 27 August, 06:00 * Scheduled arrival: 09:05 Connecting flight: * Flight: SAS SK662 * Route: Munich – Copenhagen * Scheduled departure: 10:20 * Scheduled arrival: 11:55 Both flights were issued under the same SAS reservation and SAS ticket numbers. It is essential to understand that we did not voluntarily book a connecting itinerary. The connection in Munich and the involvement of EL AL were consequences of SAS cancelling our original direct flight. 4. Technical Problem with the EL AL Aircraft On 27 August 2026, flight LY353 from Tel Aviv to Munich was delayed because of a technical problem with the aircraft. We were informed that the original aircraft had to be replaced. This resulted in a delay of more than three hours. The aircraft eventually arrived in Munich at approximately 12:29, instead of the scheduled 09:05. As a direct consequence, we missed our connecting flight SK662, scheduled to depart Munich at 10:20. 5. Rebooking and Final Arrival in Copenhagen Following the missed connection, SAS rebooked us onto a later flight: * Flight: SAS SK1666 * Munich – Copenhagen * Departure: 15:50 * Arrival: 17:25 We eventually arrived in Copenhagen at approximately 17:25 instead of 11:55, as scheduled under our replacement itinerary. Our arrival at the final destination was therefore delayed by approximately 5 hours and 30 minutes. This caused a significant disruption to our travel plans. 6. Compensation Claims and Responses from SAS and EL AL We submitted a compensation claim to SAS under case number 08197659. SAS rejected our claim, arguing that the initial disruption occurred on a flight operated by EL AL and that EL AL was responsible for handling the compensation request. We subsequently contacted EL AL, but have not obtained satisfactory compensation. EL AL offered reimbursement of ILS 200 for expenses incurred during the extended waiting period at the airport. This amount is merely reimbursement of airport expenses and is entirely separate from statutory compensation for the flight disruption. It should not be considered settlement of our compensation claim. 7. Why We Believe SAS’s Responsibility Should Also Be Examined We believe the following facts are particularly important: 1. We originally purchased a direct flight operated by SAS between Tel Aviv and Copenhagen. 2. SAS cancelled that direct flight and arranged the replacement journey via Munich. 3. We did not independently book EL AL or purchase separate connecting tickets. 4. Both replacement flights were issued under the same SAS booking reference and on SAS-issued tickets. 5. The delayed EL AL flight was also marketed by SAS under flight number SK3165. 6. The technical problem on the first flight caused us to miss our SAS connection. 7. We arrived in Copenhagen approximately 5 hours and 30 minutes late. 8. SAS rejected our claim solely because the first flight was operated by EL AL, without adequately addressing the circumstances of the original cancellation and replacement itinerary. 8. Request for Legal Assessment and Compensation We would appreciate your assistance in determining our rights under EU Regulation EC 261/2004 and any other applicable passenger protection legislation. In particular, we ask you to examine both the original cancellation of the direct SAS flight and the subsequent disruption to the replacement itinerary. We would also appreciate an assessment of whether SAS may bear responsibility, given that it originally sold us a direct flight and subsequently arranged the connecting itinerary involving EL AL. Please also investigate whether compensation may be recovered from SAS, EL AL, or another responsible party under the applicable legal framework. We can provide the original direct-flight booking confirmation, SAS’s schedule-change notification, replacement tickets, boarding passes, and correspondence with both airlines. Thank you for reviewing our case.

My checked baggage was delayed for approximately 24 hours on my flight from Oslo to TromsΓΈ, Norway. Upon arrival in TromsΓΈ, my luggage was not delivered as scheduled, leaving me without access to my personal belongings, clothing, toiletries, and other essential travel items. As I was travelling in Northern Norway during the cold autumn season, access to appropriate warm clothing and personal necessities was particularly important. The baggage delay caused significant inconvenience and disrupted my travel arrangements. I request reimbursement for any reasonable and necessary expenses incurred as a direct result of the baggage delay, supported by receipts and other relevant documentation. I kindly ask the airline to review my claim and provide compensation or reimbursement in accordance with the applicable passenger rights and baggage liability regulations under the Montreal Convention.

Terrible customer service on refunds

Flight was cancelled. We received a refund of the ticket price promptly, but we were told the extra charges for seat upgrades ($184) would take 4-6 weeks to be refunded. That was 8 weeks ago.

Dublin-Copenhagen

Economy

To whom it may concern, Our pram was delayed arriving in Copenhagen. This was very inconvenient for us managing our one year old around the city. We didn’t purchase a new pram in Copenhagen as to buy one of the same type/standard it would have been weeks awaiting for delivery, and we didn’t want the wastage of buying a less robust/cheaper pram for only a few days so we waiting and hoped our pram would be there in Ireland. Additionally, the carry cot (new born bassinet) that we had at home will only fit a certain type of pram base, so we did not want to have to have two different prams. It was there when we returned, however, the mechanism has broken. We are unable to sit the seat upright to allow our one year old to sit up, so essentially it is unusable. I realise we did not make the purchase in Copenhagen but will now need to purchase a new pram because of the damage so we hope we can be compensated for the inconvenience and for this. We can provide receipts once it is confirmed we will be compensated. Kind regards, Niamh

I lost my checked baggage during my journey, and this has made it extremely difficult for me to manage and enjoy my trip. Unfortunately, I had no other clothes with me in my personal item.

All of my essential belongings were in my checked baggage β€” all of my clothes, underwear, skincare products, toiletries, and other personal necessities. I was left with almost nothing I needed for my trip. This situation has been extremely stressful and upsetting.

We were told to sit in a designated area not in main restaurant and we not given any other refreshments like water or tea.

I had a late flight on sept 22th but my flight got delayed and then cancelled. I had to stay in the airport for almost a whole day because the flight continued on being rescheduled and cancelled and then I finally couldn’t wait any longer and decided to take the train from CPH to Gothenburg. Before I left, they took forever to deliver my bag and then told me they couldn’t find it, so they helped me file a claim but I was waiting still for hours and nothing was delivered. They collected my information and I was told they’d call me to deliver my bag, otherwise it was confirmed that it was lost. I was traveling to visit friends for an event, so I had dresses and heels, my Dyson Airstraight and some makeup. When in Gothenburg I had to buy clothes and essential goods because I had nothing. It’s been almost a year since that happened and the airline didn’t get in touch with me which is inaceptable.

Warsaw-Keflavik

Economy

Unfortunately, I no longer have the original baggage tag that I received when I checked it in. I still had it when I filed my PIR at Keflavik Airport, and the baggage tag number was recorded there. However, I was not aware that I would need to retain the physical baggage tag for a later reimbursement claim after the baggage had been returned. I would also like to mention that when I checked in at Warsaw Airport, I specifically asked whether my baggage had been checked through to Keflavik. I was assured that it had been checked through and that I would be able to collect it in Keflavik. However, the baggage did not arrive in Keflavik and was later located in Copenhagen. It therefore appears that there was an issue with the baggage transfer during my journey. Finally, I have converted all expenses incurred in Iceland into EUR for the purpose of this claim, using the exchange rate provided by Google, as the claim form did not allow me to enter the amounts in ISK. Thank you for taking these circumstances into consideration when processing my claim.

Successful claim

We made five trips to the airport, resulting in a loss of 10 hours, including airport wait times. This incident led to the individual's absence from work, impacting their expected work hours. Frequent travel to the airport was necessitated by inadequate communication between the workers and the client, leading to the client being directed to the main airport (Oslo). The client arrived in Γ…lesund on August 16th and received his luggage on the 26th. Consequently, he was without his essential equipment, including steel-toe shoes for foot protection, at the work site. Additionally, the luggage sustained damage.

2 luggages are missing. We saw them last time in Porto airport. We filed the PIR in online in Helsinki airport on Monday Aug 24th, immediately when we realize our luggages are missing. No overweight luggages. We are informed the luggages has been found. But no information where they are and when is eta for home. Because delayed luggages, we need to buy all kind of small things, like toothbrush and toothpaste, from the airport. We we travelling from the weddings, so all of our formal wears and shoes and jewelleries were on the luggage. And plenty of other clothes.

Trondheim-Vilnius

Economy

Successful claim

My flight from Trondheim was first delayed by 10 minutes. Then it was delayed by another 10 minutes. When it finally boarded and departed, the total delay was 28 minutes. This means that SAS was well aware of the situation when the plane left. When we landed, we had to rush to our next plane. There were a lot of other passengers rushing to catch their connecting flights as well. What ended up happening was that we were taken by bus to the terminal, where we waited on the bus for 5–10 minutes before it even started moving. Please keep in mind that the second flight had already started boarding at this point. We finally arrived at the terminal, and I ran across the whole airport to gate A27. When I arrived, after running the entire way, I saw the crew closing the doors. I started banging on the window/doors, but I was ignored for a couple of minutes until another employee walked up to me and asked if I needed help. I explained the situation to her. At this point, the first employee came back and explained that they had already closed the doors and that there was nothing they could do. After a couple of minutes, other passengers from the first plane arrivedβ€”around 10 of them. We were then instructed to contact the SAS transfer center, where we were told that we would be rebooked onto another flight. We all went there and were rebooked. We were also given a food voucher worth 150 DKK, which, in my opinion, is a joke, as there is almost nothing you can buy for that amount at the airport. The next flight was scheduled for 18:10, which meant that we had to wait for around five hours at the airport. The last time I had eaten was at 7:00 in the morning, so I went and bought food. However, I again had to use my own money, as the voucher was not enough to cover a simple meal and a drink. I also had to cancel my appointment at a barbershop and all the other plans I had for the day. I ended up arriving in Vilnius at 20:37. I was hungry, as I did not want to spend even more of my own money on food at the airport, and all of my plans for the day had to be cancelled. What makes the whole situation especially frustrating is that there was nothing SAS did to try to prevent us from missing the connecting flight. If they had waited for as little as 5–10 minutes, all of the passengers would have made their second flight. Overall, I find the way this situation was handled extremely disappointing. The initial delay was known to SAS, and it seems that very little was done to ensure that passengers with connecting flights could make their onward journeys.

The second flight got cancelled 4 hours before my flight, without a clear reason. Beforehand, they also cancelled my flight at 6. I was supposed to arrive at 08:30 in Nice, but instead I ended up at 21:00, so it’s a full lost day.

Claim escalated to airline

My roller bag was a carry on and they made me check it in at the gate. I asked the flight attendant if leaving it here was correct and it would make it to my final destination. She was rude and smiled and said β€œI guess?” I had medication in there that I ended up needing because I was not planning to check it in. I had zero clothes packed and had to buy all new things as I had been traveling for a full day and needed to shower. I have time stamps of my shopping receipts and them finally giving me an update on my luggage which was after my purchases. Everything I bought was necessary to be comfortable for 2 days.

Subject: Complaint Regarding Missed Flight Dear SAS Customer Service, I missed my flight even though I already had bording pass and security checked arrived at the gate10 minutes before departure. The staff member at gate had just gone down to the plane, so I had to wait around 3–4 minutes. When there were still about 5 minutes left, I asked to board, but the staff member was very rude and told us to book the next flight without offering any alternative. Please check the CCTV and staff records to verify this. I kindly request that you review the situation and consider a refund or other appropriate solution. Kind regards,

SAS Official Online Forms

First, visit the SAS Customer Service page, and then choose the right form for your issue:

Helpful Tips for Contacting SAS

We know how stressful it is to reach out for help when your travel plans have gone sideways. If you’re already tired or upset, the last thing you need is another hurdle. But a little preparation can really make a difference, and we’re here to help you every step of the way.

Share Every Detail You Can

The more information you give, the easier it is for the SAS team to help. Include your flight number, booking reference, dates of travel, and a clear description of what happened. The small details matter.

Have Your Documents Ready

Gather your boarding passes, booking emails, receipts for any extra expenses, and even photos if your luggage was damaged. Having everything in one place saves you time and makes your claim much stronger.

Say What You’d Like to Happen

Let SAS know what you feel would make things right, whether that’s compensation for a delay, a refund for extra costs, or simply an apology. Being honest about your expectations helps everyone get to a solution faster.

Keep Calm and Be Friendly

We completely understand how frustrating flight problems can be. If you can, try to keep your tone friendly and polite when you speak or write to SAS staff. Sometimes a calm conversation really does get better results.

Take Note of Who You Spoke With

If you call, jot down the name of the person you spoke to and the time you called. This little detail can be a big help if you need to follow up later.

Be Patient, But Don’t Be Afraid to Follow Up

Sometimes these things take a little time, especially during busy travel seasons or after major disruptions. If you don’t get a response after a reasonable wait, it’s perfectly okay to reach out again.
