so my fight was delayed for a day. It was communicated a few hours before. My flight was booked through the card of my company. However, I paid for all of the expenses mentioned myself with my own card. The compensation needs to be paid to BE09 0016 8010 3957- Stockholm-Brussels

Two SAS operators were at Stockholm Arlanda airport when Laurence and Mark arrived for their flight. Due to the flight being cancelled, the two passengers had to book Ryanair flights themselves for that evening. This cost them Β£956.26 and needs to be reimbursed as it was an out of pocket expense.- Stockholm-Dublin

very poor customer service throughout
Dear SAS Customer Service, I am writing to report lost baggage and to request compensation for a severely disrupted journey. β BOOKING REFERENCE: Y62WAS β PASSENGER NAME: Alix Eynaudi β ORIGINAL ROUTE: Vienna (VIE) β Oslo, departing 10 June 2026 at 20:00 SUMMARY OF DISRUPTION On the evening of 10 June 2026, an incident occurred onboard my original flight from Vienna, requiring all passengers to disembark. I was not able to leave until the following morning (11 June 2026, 07:00) and was rebooked via Amsterdam and Copenhagen. Due to a delay on the AmsterdamβCopenhagen leg, I missed my onward connection and was rerouted through Bergen before finally arriving at Oslo Torp Airport β approximately 24 hours after my originally scheduled arrival. LOST BAGGAGE I have not received my luggage. It was already missing when I arrived in Bergen. Upon arrival at Oslo Torp, there was no SAS representative available to assist me, which I found unacceptable given the circumstances. I eventually filed a report with a ground staff member, however I have serious doubts about whether the report was correctly processed, as the handling was unprofessional. IMPORTANT NOTE ON BAGGAGE TAGS: I was travelling for work alongside a colleague, Simon Asencio. Our luggage tags were accidentally exchanged, which means my bag may be registered under his name (Simon Asencio) rather than mine (Alix Eynaudi). Please search under both names. My bag contains medication that I urgently need, as well as work materials. I am currently staying at: Vic Hotell, Porsgrunn, Norway I am departing Norway on Sunday from Oslo Airport (OSL) to Vienna with Norwegian, booking reference Y63OX8 (ticket 328 2405319613), under the name Eynaudi Alix Ms. I respectfully request: 1. Immediate tracing of my bag under both names (Eynaudi and Asencio) 2. Urgent delivery to Vic Hotell, Porsgrunn, prior to Sunday 3. If delivery before Sunday is not possible, delivery to Oslo Airport (OSL) before my departure COMPENSATION REQUEST Beyond the baggage issue, I wish to formally request compensation for the overall handling of this disruption, which I found wholly inadequate: a 24-hour delay, multiple unplanned reroutes, no support upon arrival, and unprofessional baggage handling. I would ask that SAS review my case under applicable passenger rights regulations and provide a written response regarding compensation. Please contact me as a matter of urgency. Sincerely, Alix Eynaudi Booking ref: Y62WAS Return booking ref: Y63OX8- Vienna-Sandefjord

Planned arrival was at 23:10 Sunday 7th of June but due to the cancellation I only arrived at final destination at 12:25 Monday 8th of June. Because of this I missed most of my workday, which is 8-16. I was notified at 14:08 yesterday that my flight was cancelled and called customer service. They notified me they would try to find me a scheduled flight the same day. I was notified an hour later that I got flights but only for the next day. I called and asked for help with hotel etc. as I had to stay the night unexpected and was told that I would have to book a hotel and ask for compensation for that and for my meals I had to pay for due to the delay. I was only offered a 10 Euro voucher for the airport right after my tickets were cancelled, nothing for hotel or full meals I had to cover.- Amsterdam-Stavanger

The SK1834 from Athens was delayed almost 1 hour No official explanation was provided. The connection flight to Helsinki SK712 at 14:50 was missed and another flight AY820 was scheduled for 21:10!!!!! More than 6 hours later. On board it has been announced that the 16:40 flight was going to be rescheduled for. Obviously SAS decided to sell the 16:40 tickets and transfer us almost 7 hours later. Only 150 SEK were offered and the already paid extra leg room seat I had booked was LOST ALONG WITH MY MONEY IN addition arriving at Helsinki airport at 23:30 or later would make me use ONLY TAXI FOR THE CITY CENTRE- Athens-Helsinki

Just to briefly explain the story that happened to me. I had a flight from Zurich to Copenhagen and Newark with SAS Airlines. The wait in Copenhagen was 45 minutes and because the flight from Zurich departed late, I missed the connection and had to take a new flight from Copenhagen to London and from London to Newark, so I arrived over 6 hours late. β if you have any question please call me +1845652172.- Zurich-Newark

Incorrect information from customer service
I made a reservation during the SAS fare sale. And at checkout I was told my voucher wasn't valid. I called customer service and was told my voucher is valid but couldn't be used during the fare sale. I completed the reservation and saw later that I should have been able to use the voucher, so I want compensation for the voucher.- Economy

I have written to the airline using their online portal but I am still waiting for the reimbursement for the cancelled flight. The flight was cancelled abruptly, with no reason given and with little warning, I had to scramble for an alternative as I had to be back home in the evening and there was little time left to find a solution. It was stressful.- Stockholm-Brussels

My ticket back was on the 11th. I contacted them after I saw they changed my flight from 8th to 10th. It did not make sense to travel for 1 night and I had a none refundable hotel booking for 3 nights. They cancelled the booking and I got refunded the amount I paid for SAS ticket. Now I want to get compensated for the hardship of losing my vacation planned and get refunded the none refundable hotel I booked.- Stockholm-Edinburgh

Terrible flight Experience and luggage assistance
Absolutely unacceptable experience flying from Riga to New Jersey with AirBaltic and partner airlines. Due to βtechnical issuesβ caused by AirBaltic, I missed my connecting flight from Oslo to Newark (EWR) and was suddenly rerouted to JFK instead, creating hours of additional stress, confusion, and exhaustion. As if that wasnβt enough, my luggage never made it onto the replacement flight and now, TWO DAYS LATER, it still has not been delivered. What makes this situation even more serious and upsetting is that I am currently pregnant after IVF treatment, and my suitcase contained extremely important medications that I specifically informed airline staff about beforehand. These are not replaceable βvacation itemsβ β these are critical medications connected to a very sensitive pregnancy journey. Flying while pregnant is already physically and emotionally demanding. Adding missed flights, technical failures, airport chaos, rerouting to a completely different airport, lack of communication, and now being without essential medication for days is beyond irresponsible. The stress and anxiety this caused are indescribable. I expected professionalism, urgency, and basic human understanding considering the medical circumstances involved. Instead, this entire experience has been handled with shocking carelessness. One of the worst travel experiences I have ever had.Overall

You can easly verify e flight status at Oslo Airoort throuch ionlre fliaht platforn s.The evidence is fu ly substantiated.

On that day, all flights operated by other airines departed Oso 8s scheduled, and the weather at the doestination w as perfecty clear. The rcal and drect cause of the SAS flight cancellation was entirely du Je to SAS's own crew and operational issues.

I have only spoken on the phone so I don't have any emails, but I called immediatly once my flight was canceled, I was offered alternative flight that was not ok for me and then I confirmed that I choose an option to receive a refund for my flights to NYC and keep my flight back to Vilnius. So I was confimed that I will be refunded for it and compensated for all the additional expenses. The additional expenses that I had: LOT flight to from Vilnius to NYC 564 euros; 1 night lost in the hotel in NYC that I already payed for before the flight was canceled - I booked a hotel for 8 night for total price of 1987,52 which is 248,44 euros for my 1 night stay lost; I had also taxy booked on Friday that I had so switch to Saturday to the hotel - 69,92 euros, and my SAS canceled flight was PREMIUM class both way ticket was 1786,14 euros so 893,07 euros one way. I am entitled to refund for the canceled flight and a compensation of all the expenses mentioned above, I attach all the invoices related to this to see that the numbers I mention are correct and were sent as additional expenses because of this canceled flight. I also had expenses in Vilnius because I had to stay one night there because of the canceled flight.- Vilnius-New York

My flight was on April 6 from Gothenburg at 15:30 to Dublin at 19:00, with a connection in Copenhagen. Upon arrival in Copenhagen, I was informed that the flight to Dublin had been cancelled. I was then rebooked to fly to Stockholm at 21:10 and the next morning to Dublin at 10:55. As a result, my arrival in Dublin was delayed by more than 16 hours, and I missed a full day of work. The cancellation was only communicated after I had already arrived in Copenhagen and was in transit.- Gothenborg-Dublin

I took a flight from Oslo to Barcelona with a connection flight in Copenhagen. The ticket i bought included a personal item. My first flight was delightful and there was absolutely no problem. However on my next flight I was charged for my personal item (which was already included in my ticket) with no explanation or previous anticipation. No one else in the flight was charged for their personal item but me. My backpack follows the measurements to be stored on the lower part of the seat.Overall
I was charged for carrying a personal item with me which was included in my ticket. Iβd taken a connection flight from Oslo to Copenhagen and there was absolutely no problem. In no point was I informed that i would be charged for an item that was previous

Booking reference: 9WJQYH My flight SK1791 from Tallinn to Copenhagen on 10 March was delayed which caused me to miss my connection SK505 to London Heathrow. I was rebooked, however due to an error regarding my checked baggage I was incorrectly denied boarding and had to wait approximately 7 hours for the next available flight. I therefore arrived at my final destination significantly later than scheduled. According to EU Regulation 261/2004 I would like to request compensation for the delay at final destination. Additionally my checked baggage (tag number 0117096386, PIR: LHRSK38238) has been delayed.- Tallinn-ulemiste International-London
