Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Kosice — London

How to be compensated by Wizz Air on the Kosice (KSC) - London (LTN) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Wizz Air did not respect its scheduled times for your Kosice - London flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 571 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Kosice - London is eligible?

The compensation for flight KSC-LTN is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Kosice without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at London.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Kosice 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

A work stoppage of Wizz Air crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Wizz Air is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Kosice, Wizz Air must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Kosice, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Wizz Air?

Getting justice against carrier Wizz Air requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Wizz Air website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 400 € indemnity.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Wizz Air on your smartphone.

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

Don't take Wizz Air's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
