If your Wizz Air flight was delayed by 3 hours or more, canceled, or overbooked upon arrival, you are legally entitled to receive between €250 and €600 in cash compensation under the European Regulation EC 261/2004, regardless of how much your original ticket cost.
As an budget airline, Wizz Air operates hundreds of flights daily across Europe. Unfortunately, operational hurdles often lead to severe delays. While the airline is legally required to pay you for these disruptions, filing an individual claim through their support portal can lead to months of automated rejections and ignored emails.
What are the EC 261/2004 Eligibility Rules?
Your right to compensation depends strictly on two main factors: the total distance of your flight and the duration of the delay at your final destination airport:
- Short flights (under 1,500 km): €250 compensation for delays over 3 hours.
- Medium flights (1,500 km to 3,500 km): €400 compensation for delays over 3 hours.
- Long-haul flights (over 3,500 km): €600 compensation for delays over 4 hours.
