Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Budapest — Kiev

Procedure: Wizz Air flight compensation from Budapest to Kiev

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Wizz Air did not respect its scheduled times for your Budapest - Kiev flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 881 km of flight, the company Wizz Air is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Budapest - Kiev is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Kiev Zhuliany International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Wizz Air owes you 250 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Wizz Air BUD-IEV flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Budapest.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air to compensate you?

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

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Wizz Air must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Budapest.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Budapest Listz Ferenc international Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Wizz Air.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Wizz Air?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Kiev Zhuliany International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Wizz Air website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 250 € indemnity.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Wizz Air to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

Recovering 250 € 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 use of complex legal jargon by Wizz Air is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 250 €.

For your 250 €, don't compromise with Wizz Air without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Budapest.
