When can I claim compensation with SJ?

You may claim if you arrive at your final destination 60 minutes or more late due to a SJ delay or cancellation, and EU Regulation 1371/2007 applies. Some domestic or tourist services may be exempt — we assess each claim individually.

Under EU rules: 25% of the ticket price for a 60–119 minute arrival delay, and 50% for delays of 120 minutes or more. Cancellations may also entitle you to rerouting or a refund.
