Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Thessaloniki — Budapest

How to be compensated by Wizz Air on the Thessaloniki (SKG) - Budapest (BUD) line

From Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport airport, your departure with Wizz Air to Budapest didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 823 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Wizz Air to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

The compensation for flight SKG-BUD is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

Keeping your travel documents for the Wizz Air SKG-BUD flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Thessaloniki.

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 Thessaloniki 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

If your Wizz Air flight from Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Thessaloniki Macedonia International 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 Thessaloniki airport in case of prolonged wait?

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport airport, Wizz Air is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

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

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Budapest Listz Ferenc international Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Wizz Air.

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

A frequent question concerns processing times. A claim filed directly with Wizz Air customer service can take several weeks or even months before getting a response.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Thessaloniki - Budapest section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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.

A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport airport to prove their faults.
