Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Skopje — Cologne

Full breakdown: Wizz Air claim Skopje → Cologne

If your flight from Skopje Alexander the Great Airport to Cologne Bonn Airport flown by Wizz Air was impacted, you are not alone when dealing with the airline.

Seize this entitlement: the Wizz Air flight Skopje → Cologne (1 483 km) entitles you to 250€ compensation under EU regulation.

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 carrier, if the flight departs from Skopje Alexander the Great Airport, EU regulation applies completely.

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Skopje - Cologne is eligible?

Make sure to retain your boarding pass for the Wizz Air SKP-CGN flight. They are the indispensable proof of your check-in.

In the case of a cancellation, if you were notified less than 14 days before your departure from Skopje, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air to compensate you?

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

Not all strike{s} exempt the airline from its obligations. If your Skopje - Cologne delay was caused by an staff strike at Wizz Air, the CJEU have confirmed that this entitles you to a payout.

Even if the 250€ are not payable due to an external strike at Skopje, assistance (meals/hotel) stays owed Wizz Air. Never forget this.

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

An often-forgotten point: the right to care applies even {in extraordinary circumstances|when force majeure is invoked|when the 250€ indemnity is not owed}. Even if Wizz Air is exempt from the payout, care is still owed.

The complete chain of care comprises: drinks and snacks, full meals proportionate to the wait, calls or emails, and hotel with shuttles if an overnight stay is needed. All of this at the expense of Wizz Air.
