Don't miss this opportunity: the Wizz Air flight Gdansk - Sandefjord (731 km) qualifies you for 250€ per person under CE 261/2004.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Gda?sk Lech Wa??sa Airport (GDN)
  • Arrival airport: Sandefjord Airport, Torp (TRF)
  • Flight distance: 731 km (~0h55)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This is not a goodwill gesture from Wizz Air, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

Make sure to retain your travel documents for the Wizz Air GDN-TRF flight. They are the key proof of your entitlement.

An upgrade or downgrade doesn't affect your right to 250€ if the original incident qualifies under Regulation 261. The amount stays fixed at this short-haul tier.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air to compensate you?
