Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Katowice — Eindhoven

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

The KTW - EIN route operated by Wizz Air experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Katowice International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 965 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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Wizz Air.

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

To determine if your trip between Katowice and Eindhoven 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 Eindhoven.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Katowice airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Wizz Air (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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.
