Steps: compensation for Wizz Air flight from London to Poznan

Your Wizz Air flight from London to Poznan was delayed, cancelled or overbooked? Don't stay silent: EU regulation protects you.

Regulation 261/2004 is clear: for 1 172 km, Wizz Air is bound by a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: London Luton Airport (LTN)
  • Arrival airport: Pozna?-?awica Airport (POZ)
  • Flight distance: 1 172 km (~1h28)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Contrary to what {many think|Wizz Air might suggest}, this indemnity is not linked to the ticket price. A budget fare offers identical protection as a full-fare purchase.

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

The indemnity for LTN-POZ is a payout for time lost, not merely a commercial gesture. For this short-haul flight, the 3-hour threshold remains the key criterion.

Connecting passengers are also protected. If your first Wizz Air segment London-Poznan causes a knock-on delay, the indemnity is calculated on the overall arrival delay.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from London, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
