Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Hahn — Katowice

Legal right to compensation: Wizz Air flight between Hahn and Katowice

If your trip departing from Frankfurt-Hahn Airport and arriving at Katowice International Airport operated by Wizz Air was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Frankfurt-Hahn Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 842 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

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

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Hahn - Katowice is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Hahn and Katowice entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Katowice.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Hahn 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 Frankfurt-Hahn Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Wizz Air has no control.

What are your rights at Hahn airport in case of prolonged wait?

During these long hours of waiting in the Frankfurt-Hahn Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Hahn remains valid. The hotel is due if Wizz Air offsets your flight by one night.

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