Useful Advice & Information about Wizz Air

CAA on time performance figures show that 32% of Wizz Air flights arrive over 15 minutes late at their destination airport. Of those, 3.6% are delayed by more than three hours and 5% are cancelled completely.

If you are prevented from flying due to cancellation or overbooking on a flight covered by EU Regulation 261/2004, you may be able to claim a Wizz Air refund or compensation under applicable EU law. Stay calm when speaking to airline staff. Get the information you need to support any future claim.

You can usually make a Wizz Air claim for compensation under EU261 if your eligible flight is delayed by over three hours or if you are unable to travel due to the airline's actions. The amount you can claim depends on how far you are travelling and how long you are delayed.

Wizz Air's General Conditions of Carriage set out some of your rights if your booked flight is cancelled or significantly changed. These include the right to an alternative flight, a refund in the form of airline credit, or a refund of the ticket fare to your bank account or credit card.

If you are not sure what you are entitled to or you want help making the claim, Skycop can help. Contact us today to find out how much you could receive.

Extra Services Wizz Air Offers at the Airport

If you want an easier and more comfortable journey, there are several extra services you can choose from:

  • Auto Check-In

    Add auto check in to your booking, and you will automatically be checked in for your flight 50 hours before the scheduled departure time. Boarding passes will then be sent via email to the person who made the booking. There is a fee for auto check in, but this is refundable if your flight is cancelled.

  • Airport Lounges

    Exclusive airport lounge access can be added to your ticket at the time of booking, or purchased as an upgrade later to give you free food and drink, Wi Fi internet and some extra privacy, compared with waiting at the departure gate with other passengers.

  • Fast-Track Security

    Fast track security is available at some airports and can be purchased when you book or added at a later date. For flights departing at peak times, this can help you get through the standard security checks faster, so you spend less time standing in a queue.

Your Rights as a Passenger: Wizz Air Flight Delay Compensation

As set out in the airline's General Conditions of Carriage, passengers whose flight is cancelled or significantly changed after booking can request a refund. However, additional cash compensation may be available only for flights covered by EU Regulation 261/2004.

EU Regulation 261/2004 sets compensation amounts based on the distance of the flight and the length of the arrival delay for eligible routes involving the EU. If you want to make a Wizz Air EU261 claim, the airline's website provides guidance on eligibility.

There are some exceptions, for example, if you arrive less than three hours late or if you are offered an alternative flight with a very similar arrival time.

Compensation may also be available for Wizz Air overbookings, cancellations and other cases of denied boarding on eligible EU covered flights, other than due to your own actions. Skycop can help you decide if you have a valid claim.

For delayed flights covered by EU261, this includes:

  • $270 (€250) for flights of up to 1,500 km

  • $430 (€400) for flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km

  • $650 (€600) for flights over 3,500 km

Steрs to Tаke If Your Wizz Air Flight Is Delаyeԁ or Cаnсelleԁ

It is important to stay calm if your flight is cancelled or delayed. Aggressive behavior toward airport staff could be a legitimate reason for the airline to deny certain assistance.

Here is what to do to maximise your chance of a successful claim for a Wizz Air refund or EU261 compensation on eligible flights:

1. Speak to airline staff. They should be available during a delay, either at the check in desk or the departure gate.
2. Contact friends and family if needed. For EU261 covered flights with extended delays, limited care such as meals and communication may be required under EU law. For US domestic flights, such assistance is generally provided according to airline policy.
3. Keep your tickets, boarding passes and any information given to you about the delay. If you are offered printed guidance by airline employees, take it.

Remember, the disruption you experience at the time is temporary. While it may be stressful, especially if travelling with children, compensation may be available for eligible EU covered flights and Skycop can help you pursue your claim.

At The Airport

The things you do while at the airport can help you claim a refund later. Be careful if you are offered a full or partial refund at the airport. This can remove the airline’s responsibility to get you to your destination. It is often best to review your options carefully before accepting.

Follow this simple checklist to make sure you don’t harm your eligibility:

Continue your part of the check in, security and boarding process. Even if you know your flight is delayed, do not be late to the departure gate.

Get proof of any costs or purchases to make your wait more comfortable. This includes food, drink, phone calls or, in longer delays, overnight accommodation.

Ask airline staff if they can give you any help upfront. They may have vouchers for refreshments or access to facilities depending on the situation and applicable law.
