Wizz Air delay or cancellation: how to get compensation
Wizz Air operates through several airlines, and the code on your ticket decides whether EU compensation applies. For W6 and W4 flights from Serbia into the EU, it does.
The code on the ticket decides
| Code | Company | EU rules |
|---|---|---|
| W6 | Wizz Air Hungary | yes, including flights from Serbia into the EU |
| W4 | Wizz Air Malta | yes, including flights from Serbia into the EU |
| W9 | Wizz Air UK | only on flights departing the EU |
The code appears before the flight number on your boarding pass. Our form recognises it when you type the flight number.
How claims are filed
Passengers claim through Wizz Air’s compliments and complaints form. For companies representing passengers, Wizz Air runs a dedicated official platform where claims are filed with the passenger’s assignment or authorisation. Wizz Air’s help centre says it handles an intermediary’s claim only after the passenger has claimed directly, so we tell you exactly what to send in that case.
If they refuse or don’t reply
We prepare and send the complaint to the competent enforcement body, and court is the last step, at our cost.
Luggage
Report a damaged or lost bag at the airport, then to Wizz Air under the baggage category, within the deadlines in the luggage guide.
This is general information, not legal advice for your specific case. We check every claim individually.
