Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Warsaw — Gothenborg

Claim and compensation for flight Wizz Air Warsaw - Gothenborg

If your trip departing from Warsaw Chopin Airport and arriving at Gothenburg City Airport operated by Wizz Air was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 851 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 is not a commercial gesture from Wizz Air, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Warsaw - Gothenborg is eligible?

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

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

Don't be fooled by Wizz Air's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

A strike by weather services at Warsaw Chopin Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Wizz Air has no control.

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

If Warsaw Chopin Airport 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 Warsaw Chopin Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

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

It is strongly recommended to keep your Wizz Air boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Warsaw Chopin Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

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?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Wizz Air. An expert can reduce this time by half.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Wizz Air on your smartphone.

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

Don't take Wizz Air's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

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