Legal right to compensation: Wizz Air flight between Stavanger and Vilnius

Your claim for compensation for the Wizz Air flight from Stavanger to Vilnius deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

Given the route between Stavanger and Vilnius (1 281 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: Stavanger Airport, Sola (SVG)
  • Arrival airport: Vilnius International Airport (VNO)
  • Flight distance: 1 281 km (~1h36)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Did you know? Even if Wizz Air is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Stavanger Airport, Sola, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Stavanger - Vilnius is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Vilnius. If Wizz Air made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Vilnius International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 1 281 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 Vilnius.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Stavanger airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Wizz Air (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

The impact of a strike on your Wizz Air compensation

A work stoppage of Wizz Air crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Wizz Air is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

If Stavanger Airport, Sola 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 Stavanger Airport, Sola airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
