Flight compensation Wizz Air:
London — Kosice

Legal right to compensation: Wizz Air flight between London and Kosice

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

Given the route between London and Kosice (1 571 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Wizz Air.

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.

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

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

To determine if your trip between London and Kosice entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from London, 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 Kosice.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at London 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 London airport in case of prolonged wait?

Don't buy your food without first asking Wizz Air for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at London remains valid. The hotel is due if Wizz Air offsets your flight by one night.

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

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

By entrusting your case regarding flight LTN-KSC to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

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

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from London to Kosice can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Wizz Air flight from London can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Wizz Air convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
