Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Vilnius — Eindhoven

How to be compensated by Wizz Air on the Vilnius (VNO) - Eindhoven (EIN) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Vilnius and Eindhoven with Wizz Air? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 372 km of flight, the company Wizz Air is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

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

For an Wizz Air flight from Vilnius to Eindhoven, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Wizz Air VNO-EIN flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Vilnius.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Eindhoven.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Vilnius 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 strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Vilnius - Eindhoven trip is due to an internal strike within Wizz Air, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

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 Vilnius airport in case of prolonged wait?

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Vilnius International Airport, Wizz Air must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Vilnius International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Wizz Air.

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

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

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

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Wizz Air convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
