Since the Sturgeon ruling of 2009, delays over 3 hours are treated the same as cancellations regarding payout entitlement. This greatly broadened the scope of the regulation.
How to know if the flight Wizz Air Gdansk - Gothenborg is eligible?
To check if your journey between Gdansk and Gothenborg qualifies for compensation, the key criterion is the delay at destination ({not the departure delay|measured at Gothenburg City Airport}). It must be over 3 hours.
Even if Wizz Air offers a replacement flight, the 250€ indemnity remains owed if the final delay at Gothenborg is over the 180-minute threshold.

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Gdansk, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
