Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Belgrade — Gothenborg

How to be compensated by Wizz Air on the Belgrade (BEG) - Gothenborg (GSE) line

From Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport airport, your departure with Wizz Air to Gothenborg didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 553 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Belgrade - Gothenborg is eligible?

For an Wizz Air flight from Belgrade to Gothenborg, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Wizz Air BEG-GSE flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Belgrade.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Gothenborg.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Belgrade 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Belgrade - Gothenborg trip is due to an internal strike within Wizz Air, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

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

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport, Wizz Air must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Wizz Air.

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 Belgrade to Gothenburg City Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Wizz Air on your smartphone.

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

Don't take Wizz Air's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
