Compensation & claim for Wizz Air: Warsaw to Rome

Your payout case for the Wizz Air flight from Warsaw to Rome has strong chances. Travel chaos is stressful for any traveller.

Leaving Warsaw Chopin Airport, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 1 327 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. The first tier (≤1500 km) applies.

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 cornerstone regulation of EU transport law protects over 900 million journeys annually. Despite this, the vast majority never claim due to ignorance.

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

Note your actual arrival time at Rome. If Wizz Air made you wait more than three hours at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport, your entitlement is confirmed.
