Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Stockholm — Budapest

Claim and compensation for flight Wizz Air Stockholm - Budapest

The NYO - BUD 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 Stockholm and Budapest (1 273 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.

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

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

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

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Stockholm, 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 Budapest.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Stockholm 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Budapest Listz Ferenc international Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Stockholm Skavsta Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Wizz Air for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Stockholm Skavsta 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 Stockholm to Budapest can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.

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

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Wizz Air to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

Recovering 250 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Wizz Air systems.

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

An unfounded refusal from Wizz Air is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

For your 250 €, don't compromise with Wizz Air without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Stockholm.
