Wizz Air flight delayed or cancelled? Claim up to €600
Wizz Air is a major ultra-low-cost carrier connecting Portugal to Central and Eastern Europe. Passengers on disrupted Wizz Air flights departing from EU airports are entitled to compensation under EC 261/2004.
Claims reputation
Wizz Air is one of the most difficult airlines to claim against. They systematically reject claims and often require legal action or enforcement body involvement to pay out.
Tips for claiming against Wizz Air
- Wizz Air's registered office is in Hungary — Hungarian enforcement authorities (NKH) can be effective for escalation.
- Don't be deterred by Wizz Air's initial rejection; their first response is almost always negative regardless of claim validity.
- Screenshot the Wizz Air app's flight status notifications as evidence of delay times.
