Wizz Air delayed flight summer 2025: how to get compensation
Flying low-cost with Wizz Air is an increasingly popular choice for those traveling in Europe, but delays are frequent, especially in summer. If you’re planning a flight for summer 2025 and want to know what to do in case of disruption, you should know that you may be entitled to compensation of up to €600, depending on the case.
In summer, with increased air traffic, even the best planning can fail. But the good news is that if the delay exceeds 3 hours and is the airline’s responsibility, European regulations are on your side.
Why Wizz Air flights can be delayed
The main causes of Wizz Air flight delays are often linked to:
-
Technical malfunctions on aircraft
-
Lack of staff or poorly managed crew shifts
-
Delays carried over from previous routes
-
Congested air traffic at smaller airports
-
Adverse weather conditions or poor logistical management
Especially in summer, a single delayed aircraft can trigger a chain reaction affecting many subsequent flights.
What Regulation EC 261/2004 provides
If the delay is more than 3 hours upon arrival, and not caused by exceptional circumstances (such as strikes or severe weather), you can obtain compensation of:
-
€250 for flights up to 1,500 km
-
€400 for flights between 1,500 and 3,500 km
-
€600 for flights over 3,500 km
In addition to compensation, Wizz Air is required to provide airport assistance: drinks, meals, phone calls, and accommodation if necessary.
