Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Dortmund — Skopje

How to be compensated by Wizz Air on the Dortmund (DTM) - Skopje (SKP) line

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 501 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Wizz Air to pay you financial compensation.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Dortmund - Skopje is eligible?

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

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Wizz Air sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Dortmund Airport, the 400 € 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 Skopje.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Dortmund 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

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

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

What are your rights at Dortmund 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 Dortmund 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 Dortmund Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

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

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

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?

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

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