Flight cancelled by Wizzair: Deciphering the compensation rules
Claim up to 600 euros
Nestled in the hassle of cancelled Wizzair flights, unsuspected opportunities emerge. Beyond the worries, a planned compensation is waiting for you, transforming the ordeal into a welcome opportunity.
A Wizzair flight cancelled at the last minute? It’s guaranteed to be a nightmare every time. But fortunately, there is this EU law EC261 that comes to play the saviour. It promises aggrieved passengers compensation for all the hassle they have suffered. Be careful though, the amount of this compensation varies depending on several factors, such as the distance you had to travel and when you were notified of the cancellation. Basically, you have to know your rights and not hesitate to fight to get what you deserve.
Calculate your compensation for cancelled flight
The distance of the flight plays a determining role in the amount of compensation. Short flights, covering a distance of less than 1,500 kilometres, can be eligible for a maximum compensation of 250 euros. For medium-sized flights, between 1,500 and 3,500 kilometres, the maximum compensation is 400 euros. Finally, long-haul flights, over 3,500 kilometres, can result in a maximum compensation of 600 euros.
Exemptions and uncontrollable situations
Even if passengers are entitled to a little something in case of a cancelled flight, there are situations that can happen, which are not attributable to the airline, such as force majeure. This can exempt the carrier from paying anything. But hey, you have to check if the cancellation of your flight falls into this special category.
Examples: major problem at the airport (computer problem, damaged runway, …), fires, floods, major storms, civil conflicts, …
Other exemptions: If passengers are notified 14 days in advance, they are generally exempt from any compensation, in accordance with the guidelines of EC261 regulation.
In the shadow of the compensation claim
In their quest to avoid paying compensation, airlines use various underhanded tactics to make the claim process more difficult for passengers:
– Complex paperwork: They love convoluted forms! Passengers have to juggle obscure and confusing documents designed to discourage them and make the process painful.
– Endless waiting: Airlines take great pleasure in dragging their feet when it comes to processing compensation claims. Passengers can wait ages before receiving a single cent.
– Wooden language: Instead of giving clear answers, airlines often prefer to play the game of concealment. The result? Passengers are left in the dark, not knowing where their claim stands and what the next steps are.
– Unjustified refusal: Sometimes, carriers simply say “no” for no good reason. Even when passengers meet the eligibility criteria for compensation, they can make lame excuses or twist the law to their advantage.
