DY 1278 (DY1278) is sold by Norwegian. On a codeshare another airline may operate the flight, and the operating airline determines which rules apply.

With about 2,427 km between OSL and IST (medium-haul (1,500–3,500 km)), compensation may be €400 per passenger (EU261), if you are entitled to it. All amounts

Does EU261 apply to Norwegian flight DY 1278?

Yes, EU261 may apply, as DY1278 departs from Norway. Whether you are entitled to compensation depends on the cause, among other things.

Who operates Norwegian flight DY 1278?

In our data, Norwegian is the airline selling DY1278. Who actually operates the flight is shown on your ticket or booking confirmation.

Was DY 1278 part of a connecting flight? How is compensation calculated?

Your booking shows this, not the flight number. If DY1278 was part of a connecting journey on one booking, distance is counted from the first departure airport to the final destination, and the delay is counted on arrival at the final destination. The distance band (short-, medium- or long-haul) follows that distance and may then differ from this leg (€400 per passenger (EU261)).
