Your claim for compensation for the Wizz Air Ukraine flight from Valencia to Kiev deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

- Arrival airport: Kiev Zhuliany International Airport (IEV)

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Wizz Air Ukraine offers you a voucher for your Valencia - Kiev flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.
