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

To determine if your flight between Poznan and Stockholm is eligible for a payout, the key criterion is the arrival delay ({not the departure delay|measured at Stockholm Skavsta Airport}). It must be greater than 3 hours.

Remember that the distance of 708 km perfectly matches the 250€ compensation tier. This amount is net and {the airline|Wizz Air} cannot deviate from it through its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Stockholm.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Poznan airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Wizz Air (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

The issue of strikes is a frequent sticking point in compensation cases. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Wizz Air's own staff (pilots, cabin crew) and an third-party strike.

Question Wizz Air's justification. Some carriers falsely present internal strikes as "extraordinary circumstances" to escape {paying compensation|the 250€}.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Wizz Air must ensure the wellbeing of passengers stuck at Poznan. This 2-hour threshold applies to flights ≤1500 km.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, the right to assistance at Poznan remains valid. The hotel is owed if Wizz Air pushes your flight by a day.

Airlines like Wizz Air have whole departments specialised in deterring unassisted passengers. Against this imbalance, having an expert makes all the difference.

The main benefit: they take on all the complexity and only collect fees if the 250€ are successfully recovered.

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