Canceled and delayed flights bring a lot of inconveniences and can ruin a vacation, a family or business meeting, adding unexpected costs to your trip and messing up your agenda. This is the main cause that brought the EU to the decision of strict regulations that protect your rights as a passenger.

Where it is not feasible for Wizz Air to provide you with such care, the airline will refund the costs of the meal, hotel accommodation and the transport between the airport and place of accommodation.
Additionally, Wizz Air will pay compensation according to Article 7 of the Regulation:

To help us process your claim for compensation quickly, please enclose a copy of the Cabin Report or Property Irregularity Report provided to you onboard or at the airport when you made your report for the delay, damage or pilferage. Please also provide your contact and bank account details where indemnity (if any) can be transferred to.
Lost baggage
Is your baggage lost? It was determined during the Montreal Convention and the Warsaw Convention how much the airline has to compensate you (per kilo) for the lost baggage. This will be a maximum of about EUR 1000. This is calculated per day in SDR, a currency that is based on several international currencies.
Whether it’s lost damaged or delayed, the first thing to do is report the problem to the service desk in the baggage collection hall. If you don’t, it can make the whole claiming process that much harder.
- Delayed baggage
If your luggage is delayed or missing, the airline has 21 days to find it and get it to you. If you get your luggage back within 21 days, you can still claim compensation for delayed luggage.
- Damaged baggage
The amount of compensation
The airline will look at any claims you make about damage to your baggage, and these are paid out based on the value of the bags plus anything inside that was also damaged. It's often helpful to take photographs for use in any communications with the airline after you've reported the damage.
Whether it’s lost damaged or delayed, the first thing to do is report the problem to the service desk in the baggage collection hall. If you don’t, it can make the whole claiming process that much harder and you might not receive a compensation.
Things to do in all cases
Take action immediately! If you’re still at the airport, go to a Wizz Air representative. Ask for the Property Irregularity Report and let the representative of the Wizz Air check the ‘World tracer’. The Property Irregularity Report is a declaration form that needs to be submitted within five days. Through the ‘World tracer’ it’s possible for the crew to check where your baggage is and where it was lost.
Visit the “Baggage Claim” or “Lost Luggage” desk in the transit area, where we can help you fill out a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) straight away. If no report is filed at the destination airport, nobody will accept responsibility. If the baggage is not found within 21 days of reporting it at the destination airport, Wizz Air will be liable for the loss.
The company can’t be liable for baggage misidentified by another passenger – all cost is the liability of the passenger involved.
Time Limits to receive Compensation for baggage
The Montreal Convention sets time limits on any claims regarding baggage:
Damaged baggage – seven days from receipt of the damaged items
Delayed baggage – twenty-one days from the date of delivery
Lost baggage – there’s no time limit but it’s advisable to make the complaint as soon as possible, once your luggage has either been missing for twenty-one days or the airline has admitted they’ve lost it.
Baggage limits on international travel:
You can carry only the baggage allowed by your choices when buying the ticket.
Liquids carried in cabin baggage are subject to the following government-imposed restrictions: the liquid must be in a container with a maximum volume of 100ml, all liquid containers should be carried in a transparent, re-sealable 1-liter plastic bag, measuring 20 x 20 cm.

WIZZ services to make traveling with kids more comfortable:
Food and beverages are served onboard only after being purchased from WIZZ Café – they serve hot drinks, sandwiches, snacks, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages.
The airline offers extra attention to disabled and reduced-mobility passengers and to passengers with special needs. In line with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2006, a wide range of facilities for disabled and reduced mobility passengers at airports can be provided, if the airline is informed about the situation at least 48 hours before the scheduled departure time. Passengers are considered disabled when their physical, medical or mental condition requires individual attention (on embarking and disembarking, during flight, in an emergency evacuation, during ground handling) that is not normally extended to other passengers.
Disabled passengers are passengers who:
Passengers with special needs are considered those who are:
You can always make your travel better and safer. We all wish for smooth journeys. But unfortunate events do happen anywhere. To make your journey worry-free, you may want to get familiar with travel insurances. Make sure and double-check that you have all of the proper vaccinations.
Bring copies of your passport or make an electronic copy that you can store in your email account as well.
Another advice for you is look up the monetary conversion before you go and save money to the destination! Always have local cash. The conversion centers in the airport tend to be huge rip-offs so go to a bank or ATM in the country you’re visiting and you won’t get charged as many fees.
Sometimes countries require travelers to pay the country’s entrance/exit fees. These fees are not included in the price of your airline ticket and can range $25 - $200.
Each airline has its own set of guidelines as to how many bags can be carried on for free. Check your airline’s rules to avoid any incremental fees. And, if you are connecting during your trip, know the luggage rules for those airlines as well - especially for low-cost carriers.
Reward yourself and start your journey pleasantly at airports! Treat yourself at an airport lounge by buying single entry from Lounge Pass or unlimited entries from Priority Pass.
All airline personnel fluent in English, Polish and German. They can also speak Hungarian, Russian and Ukrainian.
Many travelers are looking for a great flight deal and may be willing to sacrifice comfort for affordability, but only a few of them would be willing to give up their safety in pursuit of that great deal. While budget airlines cut other corners to keep fares low, they cannot - lucky for us - compromise the safety of their passengers in the process.
Safety of flying is always very important. Passengers concerned about the safety of a particular airline can use resources like the world’s only safety agency AirlineRatings to see exactly how each carrier stands up to safety regulations.
We can count Wizz Air as a reliable airline as it has been awarded the highest 7-star safety ranking from AirlineRatings.
Wizz Air has a great safety record statistically and that is a sign that they are operating professionally.
