Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Prague — Rome

Legal right to compensation: Wizz Air flight between Prague and Rome

If your trip departing from Ruzyn? International Airport and arriving at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport operated by Wizz Air was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 936 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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Wizz Air, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Prague - Rome is eligible?

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

Also note that the distance of 936 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in 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 Rome.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Prague 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.

A strike by weather services at Ruzyn? International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Wizz Air has no control.

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

If Ruzyn? International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Wizz Air, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

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

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

Starting a procedure against Wizz Air for a flight from Prague to Rome can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 250 € without stress.

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

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Wizz Air. An expert can reduce this time by half.

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

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Prague - Rome line.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
