What is Wizz Air delayed flight compensation?

If your Wizz Air flight had a significant delay, you have the legal right to claim financial compensation according to Regulation (EC) 261/2004. This European legal act provides air passengers with protection and access to compensation for the discomfort caused by long delays or other flight disruptions.

Important to know

The compensation amount is fixed and doesn't depend on your ticket price. A €50 budget airline ticket can result in the same compensation as a €500 ticket if the flight qualifies.

When are you entitled to compensation for delay?

Your eligibility depends on the flight distance and the duration of the delay.

You CAN claim if:

Delay of at least 3 hours upon arrival at the destination
The airline is responsible for the delay
The flight departs from an EU airport
The flight arrives in the EU and is operated by Wizz Air

You CANNOT claim if:

The delay is caused by extraordinary circumstances (e.g., storm)

If your Wizz Air flight was delayed by at least 3 hours and the responsibility lies with the company, you have the right to claim compensation. Additionally, you are entitled to assistance at the airport during the wait.
