Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Katowice — Malmoe

Get your Wizz Air flight compensation for the route Katowice - Malmoe

From Katowice International Airport airport, your departure with Wizz Air to Malmoe didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 680 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Wizz Air to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Malmoe airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Wizz Air owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Wizz Air sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Katowice International Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Malmoe.
• 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...).

The impact of a strike on your Wizz Air compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Malmoe, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

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.

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