The history of the company WizzAir
Leaving for Central and Eastern Europe? Since 2004, taking over those skies has been Wizz Air, or Wizzair, or W!zz. A Hungarian-born company, it now connects 44 countries (not just European) with passenger traffic reaching nearly 35 million in 2019.
With a relatively young fleet and a multicultural team, Wizz Air is one of those companies that nonetheless tries to make low prices a constant. It is no accident that the number of passengers increases year after year.
Some minor inconveniences passengers may have, but they are classic low-cost ones. Little leg room, impossible seats, and airports lost in the woods. But since getting to the destination is the most important thing, let’s worry about that aspect.
Wizz air has a similar problem with delays as many low cost airlines.

How can you get compensation from Iberia case of cancellation, delay more than 3 hours or overbooking?
If your flight was canceled, arrived at least 180 minutes late, or you were denied boarding due to overbooking, you are entitled to compensation that varies depending on the distance between your departure and arrival airports, specifically:
- € 250.00 for all routes less than or equal to 1,500 km
- €400.00 for routes between 1,500 km and 3,500 km
- € 600.00 for routes greater than 3,500 km
We will now look in detail at the various cases that can occur and explain how to proceed in case:
- WizzAir cancelled your flight
- WizzAir made you arrive at your destination 3 hours or more late
- WizzAir denied you boarding due to overbooking.
What does the Passenger Bill of Rights say in case of flight cancellation by WizzAir?
Following the cancellation of your WizzAir flight, the airline is required to pay you monetary compensation, this is what the Passenger’s Bill of Rights states, a practical guide in which Enac has summarized useful information for air travelers.
As we mentioned, monetary compensation varies depending on the distance between the departure and arrival airports, specifically:
- € 250.00 for all routes less than or equal to 1500 km
- € 400.00 for routes between 1500 and 3500 km
- € 600.00 for routes over 3500 km
This compensation is due if WizzAir has not given you notice at least 14 days in advance or has not offered you an alternative flight within 7 days of departure.
As stipulated in the European Regulation No. 261/2004, WizzAir is not responsible if the cancellation is a consequence of air traffic controllers’ strikes, adverse weather conditions or health alert, political instability events, safety hazards on the ground and/or in flight. In these cases WizzAir does not provide compensation to the passenger who suffered the inconvenience.
And if they make you travel in a lower class than you booked and paid for, do you get a refund?
Again, we have good news for you! If you are placed in a lower class of transportation than the one listed on your ticket, you are entitled to claim compensation that varies according to the following table:
- 30% of the ticket price for flights up to 1,500 km
- 50 percent of the ticket price for flights of more than 1,500 km in the European Union
- 50% of the ticket price for all other flights from 1,500 km to 3,500 km
- 75% of the ticket price for flights outside the European Union of more than 3,500 km
What does the Passenger Bill of Rights say in case of denied boarding due to overbooking by WizzAir?
Again, European Regulation No. 261/2004 states that you are entitled to receive compensation!
The rules are the same as in previous cases of flight cancellation or delay of at least 3 hours.
In case of overbooking you are entitled to:
- Refund of the ticket for the flight on which you were denied boarding;
- Refund of the difference in the price of another purchased flight in case you decide not to be re-routed on another flight by WizzAir (or in case WizzAir has no possibility to re-route you);
- Any extra charges in case the re-routing or new flight should be in the days following the flight you were denied;
- Compensation of 250 € if your route is less than 1,500 km, 400 € if your route is between 1,500 km and 3,500 km, and 600 € if it exceeds 3,500 km.
Be careful not to confuse Reimbursement and Compensation!
Let’s look at the differences:
- REFUND is provided in case of flight cancellation only when the airline does not re-route you to an alternate flight. So you are entitled to a refund if you don’t physically get on the plane, either by cancellation or overbooking. You are also entitled to REFUND of extra expenses you incurred as a result of flight cancellation, such as food, hotel accommodation. You are also entitled to REFUND in case of exceptional circumstances, i.e., those situations for which the Company is not held responsible for the inconvenience it created for you such as adverse weather conditions, strike, health alert;
- REIMBURSEMENT (or compensation or monetary compensation) has nothing to do with the cost of your ticket, but is a sum of money you are entitled to for inconveniences suffered as a result of flight cancellation, delay, or overbooking as defined by the 2001 Montreal Convention. Regarding RESTRICTION, this is NOT due to you in case of exceptional circumstances or if you were notified of the cancellation at least 14 days in advance. It is therefore compensation you are entitled to for inefficiency on the part of the airline completely independent of the cost of the ticket.
It happens that passengers only ask for REFUND because they don’t know that they are also entitled to REIMBURSEMENT, or because they are told that the causes of the cancellation or delay were force majeure.
We at rimborsoalvolo.it do all the checks on what the airline says about any exceptional circumstances to find out if you are actually entitled to compensation as well!
