Regulation 261/2004 is unambiguous: for 1 459 km, Wizz Air is held to a payout requirement if the delay exceeds 3 hours.

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.
