Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Liverpool — Gdansk

Claim and compensation for flight Wizz Air Liverpool - Gdansk

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

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 397 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Did you know? Even if Wizz Air is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Liverpool John Lennon Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Liverpool - Gdansk is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Wizz Air offers you a voucher for your Liverpool - Gdansk flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Liverpool, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air to compensate you?

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

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 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Liverpool John Lennon 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.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Liverpool John Lennon Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Wizz Air?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Wizz Air boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Liverpool John Lennon Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Airlines like Wizz Air sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

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?

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Wizz Air will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
