The TRF - SZZ 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 Sandefjord and Szczecin (685 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Sandefjord Airport, Torp (TRF)
  • Arrival airport: Szczecin (SZZ)
  • Flight distance: 685 km (~0h51)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Wizz Air.

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Sandefjord - Szczecin is eligible?

The impact of a strike on your Wizz Air compensation
