Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Barcelona — Poznan

Legal right to compensation: Wizz Air flight between Barcelona and Poznan

If your trip departing from Barcelona International Airport and arriving at Pozna?-?awica Airport operated by Wizz Air was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 663 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 is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Barcelona International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Barcelona - Poznan is eligible?

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

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

What are the conditions for Wizz Air to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Wizz Air compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Pozna?-?awica Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Barcelona - Poznan flight.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Barcelona International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Your forced stay at Barcelona shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your BCN-POZ trip.

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

Starting a procedure against Wizz Air for a flight from Barcelona to Poznan can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

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?

A frequent question concerns processing times. A claim filed directly with Wizz Air customer service can take several weeks or even months before getting a response.

Recovering 400 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Wizz Air systems.

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

The first refusal from Wizz Air should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from Barcelona International Airport airport to prove their faults.
