Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Malmoe — Katowice

Claim and compensation for flight Wizz Air Malmoe - Katowice

If your trip departing from Malmoe and arriving at Katowice International Airport operated by Wizz Air was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Malmoe and Katowice (680 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Wizz Air.

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 Malmoe, the European regulation applies in full.

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

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

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air to compensate you?

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

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Wizz Air staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Malmoe 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 Malmoe 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.

Your forced stay at Malmoe shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your MMX-KTW trip.

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

For your Malmoe - Katowice trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Wizz Air staff at the Malmoe counter during the incident.

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

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Wizz Air to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

Recovering 250 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Wizz Air systems.

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

The use of complex legal jargon by Wizz Air is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 250 €.

For your 250 €, don't compromise with Wizz Air without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Malmoe.
