Handling flight disruptions can be very annoying. However, the positive thing is that the European Union has regulations to assist travelers when things go wrong. If you’re taking a plane in the EU, it’s smart to be aware of these protections. They can come in handy if your flight is disrupted.

Understanding your rights can make dealing with travel problems much easier. While it won’t speed up your journey, it can make you more relaxed when things go wrong.

Passenger Rights under EU Regulation 261/2004

When you’re flying in the European Union, rest assured that there’s assistance available in the case of a flight disruption. EU laws guarantee airlines look after their passengers when things go wrong.

When flights are delayed or cancelled, airlines must offer you:

  • Meals and beverages
  • A hotel room if you’re stuck overnight
  • Transportation to and from the hotel
  • Two free phone calls, emails, or faxes

If you’re experiencing a significant delay or your flight is cancelled, you might also receive:

  • A refund
  • An alternative flight
  • Compensation to make up for the trouble

Remember to ask airline workers about these things if your plans change. They are obligated to tell you about your rights when there’s a significant delay or cancellation.

Wizz Air Flight Delay Compensation

Travel setbacks from Wizz Air can be very frustrating. However there’s some good news: if you’re stranded for more than three hours owing to the airline’s fault, you might be able to get some compensation.

Laws in the UK and EU are on your side. You could be eligible for up to €600 per person. What matters is when you reach your destination, not when you leave. So pay attention to your arrival time if you want to seek flight delay compensation.

How much you get depends on your flight distance. A short flight won’t be compensated as highly as a long one, even if they’re both delayed the same amount of time.

Want to know exactly how much you could get? Check out the table below to see how much money you might get:

Less than 3 hoursBetween 3-4 hoursOver 4 hoursDistance
€0€250€250All flights up to 1500 km
€0€400€400All flights between 1500 km and 3500 km
€0€400€400All intra-EU flights over 3500 km
€0€300€600All non-EU flights over 3500 km

Wizz Air Flight Cancellation Compensation

The European Union has regulations to help you in case of flight cancellation. Here’s what you need to know:

If your flight is cancelled within two weeks of your planned travel date, you could be eligible for compensation of up to €600. But keep in mind – the airline doesn’t have to pay if they rebook you on a different flight that doesn’t significantly disrupt your travel.

The airline can avoid paying you if they provide an alternative flight that meets the following conditions:

Advance NoticeRe-routing Requirements
14 DaysNone
7 – 13 DaysAlternative flight departing no more than 2 hours before and arriving less than 4 hours after the original flight
Less than 7 DaysAlternative flight departing no more than 1 hour before and arriving less than 2 hours after the original flight

If you choose to board another flight from the airline, you can still receive compensation. What matters most is when you reach your final destination.

The amount you could receive is determined by two factors:

  1. How far you’re flying
  2. The delay in your arrival

Therefore, even if the new flight doesn’t get there on time, you might still get some compensation.

Look at the following table to understand better:

Under 2 hours2-3 hours3-4 hoursOver 4 hoursNever arrivedDistance
€125€250€250€250€250All flights 1,500 km or less
€200€200€400€400€400Internal EU flights over 1,500 km
€200€200€400€400€400Non-internal EU flights 1,500 km- 3,500 km
€300€300€300€600€600Non-internal EU flights over 3,500 km

The airline may not need to compensate you if they can provide a transfer to your destination, close to the original schedule. Even if you arrive shortly after the scheduled time, you might not be eligible for flight cancellation compensation.

How to Claim Compensation from Wizz Air

It’s important to understand how to claim the compensation you deserve under EU Regulation 261/2004. Here’s the process:

  • Complete this form. You’ll need to provide details including your flight number, date, and the problem you faced.
  • Let our experts help you. Once you submit the form, our team will take over. We are well-versed in the EU laws well and will do our best to get you your compensation. You are only charged if we win your case.

Keep in mind that you have the right as a passenger to claim compensation for a cancelled or delayed flight. No matter whether your flight was delayed as a result of operational reasons or mechanical problems, if it was not caused by extraordinary circumstances like severe weather or air traffic control decisions, you have a right to compensation.

Which Wizz Air Flights are Covered by EU261?

The air passenger protection regulations of the European Union are far-reaching. They apply to all flights departing from an airport in an EU member state and any flight coming into an airport in an EU member state provided the airline is based in the EU.

ItineraryCovered by EU 261
Flights departing EU airports✅ Covered
Flights arriving at EU airports✅ Covered

These laws also apply to airlines from Switzerland, Iceland, and Norway. This means if you’re flying with any airline within, to, or from Europe, you probably have these rights. It’s important to know about these regulations – they’re there to support you if something goes wrong with your flight. They ensure you’re not left on your own when your travel plans don’t work out.

When You Are Not Entitled to Compensation

Wizz Air isn’t necessarily responsible when flights are delayed or cancelled. At times, situations arise that the airline can’t control, like really bad weather or unforeseen issues.

For instance, if there’s an abrupt major weather event, an emergency at the airport, or air traffic controllers go on strike, Wizz Air is not liable. These are called “extraordinary circumstances” that the airline can’t do anything about.

When these things happen, you are unlikely to get any compensation. The airline isn’t viewed as doing anything wrong when these unforeseen difficulties occur.
