Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Budapest — Warsaw

Get your Wizz Air flight compensation for the route Budapest - Warsaw

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 541 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Wizz Air to pay you financial compensation.

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.

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 Budapest - Warsaw is eligible?

The compensation for flight BUD-WAW is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Wizz Air sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Budapest Listz Ferenc international Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Warsaw.
• 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

If your Wizz Air flight from Budapest Listz Ferenc international Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Budapest Listz Ferenc international Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Budapest Listz Ferenc international Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

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

An unfounded refusal from Wizz Air is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.
