Refund and compensation Wizz Air: route Katowice to Dortmund

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

Given the route between Katowice and Dortmund (810 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Wizz Air.

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.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Katowice International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.
