Flight compensation Wizz Air Ukraine:
Valencia — Lvov

Claim and compensation for flight Wizz Air Ukraine Valencia - Lvov

The VLC - LWO route operated by Wizz Air Ukraine experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 2 233 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Did you know? Even if Wizz Air Ukraine is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Valencia Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Ukraine Valencia - Lvov is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Lvov. If Wizz Air Ukraine made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Lviv International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Valencia, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air Ukraine to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Lvov.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Valencia airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Wizz Air Ukraine (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Wizz Air Ukraine compensation

Don't be fooled by Wizz Air Ukraine's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

A strike by weather services at Valencia Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Wizz Air Ukraine has no control.

What are your rights at Valencia airport in case of prolonged wait?

If Valencia Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Wizz Air Ukraine, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Valencia remains valid. The hotel is due if Wizz Air Ukraine offsets your flight by one night.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Wizz Air Ukraine?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Wizz Air Ukraine boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Valencia Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 400 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Valencia to Lviv International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Wizz Air Ukraine flight from Valencia can also be a way to get your funds faster.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Valencia - Lvov line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Wizz Air Ukraine will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
