Step 1: Determine Eligibility for Flight Compensation

To check if you qualify for compensation from Wizz Air due to a flight delay, cancellation or overbooking, here’s a simplified guide:

1. Flight Departure: Ensure your flight departed from an EU, EEA, or UK airport. Even if your flight was with a non-EU/EEA airline but left from one of these airports, you may still qualify.
2. Timing: Your flight must have experienced a delay of more than three hours upon your arrival at your destination. If your flight was canceled less than 14 days before its scheduled departure, you may also be eligible.
3. Wizz Air’s Responsibility: You can claim compensation if the delay or cancellation was within Wizz Air’s control, such as technical issues, crew shortages, or scheduling problems.
4. Valid Booking: Make sure you have a valid booking or reservation for the affected flight.
5. Arrival Time: Compensation is based on your actual arrival time at your final destination, not the departure time.

***If you were denied boarding to your flight, It is important that you get a Denied Boarding Form from the gate agent.  This document is really important because it proves that you were denied boarding and shows how it affected your trip.  Unlike other flight problems where you can get evidence from different places, you can’t prove denied boarding without this form.

*Czech Republic: To ensure your claim remains valid, it’s important to inform your airline about a flight delay within 6 months of the delay occurring. Once notified, your claim remains active for a period of 3 years.

**Germany: In Germany, the limitation period ends on the last day of the third year following the flight disruption. For instance, if your flight was disrupted on 22/03/2018, the limitation period for this particular flight would conclude on 31/12/2021.

***Sweden: The limitation period in Sweden is subject to renewal each time a claim is made. This means that for subsequent claims, the limitation period extends to 3 years from the date of the last claim filed.
