No assistance and help was provided by Wizzair at the airport. I spent the night at the airport. No hotel, no food or drinks were provided. We had to book extra apartment (invoice was issued for my friend's name who made the booking) to sleep in Malaga 29/30 April. We had to search for flights and rebook them on pour own. No information was provided to passengers on why the flight was delayed and eventually - cancelled. Horrible experience, we were deadly tired and left sleepless. It was inhuman how we were treated.- Malaga-Gdansk

Hello Team, Hope you are well! I was travelling with a group of people and our flight reservation was made on one booking. The email address the booking was made from is: bsw@wp.pl Since this email ready exists in your database, I was not able to enter it in the form. The Colleague who made the booking has already claimed the refund through your team only for her individual ticket. Now I would like to receive the refund for my individual ticket. The delay caused me a huge inconvenience, we were mislead about the actual departure time and were forced to wait in extremely small hall with high temperature. Arriving late also caused me travelling back to my home town late in the night and impacted my wellbeing the following day when I had to be back to my business duties. Happy to provide more information if needed! Thank you! Best wishes, Irena Krystyna Karolewska- Katowice-Kutaisi

Hello, my name is Yuliia Vovchok I always use Wizz air airlines for traveling 24.04.2025 we had a flight from Budapest to Basel Confirmation number YIML9P Day before, I try to check in my self and my two children, but I see that Online check in is NOT available, and i should check in in airport. I made a screenshot, to approve, that online check in was not available. You can find this screenshot in files.Β So in airport after long trip from Ukraine, in a big stress, because in that days was attacked Ukraine by russia. I went to the registration and showed to the lady that working in wizz air airlines screenshot, that online registration was not available, and i have approve of that. But she told me, that I must pay for registration in airport. When I told her, that it is not my fault that online chek in was not available, and we had no money for that, she just told me- So you not fly today... what was that???? It alone first time in my life with your company, always I have no problem with online check in, it was first stupid time... so I try to find money. My friend sent it to my bank account and I paid 90 euro for registration. Why should I pay???? If it was not my fault, that your web site make Online registration Not available for me... and more... I paid, but fly was canceled, and new one was in 12.25 not in 11.05, and with all this situation full of stress we was in airport and waited for new flight. So I want to have compensation for all this trouble, I want back money for registration and for time , wat I was waiting and my children too. Thank you Yuliia Vovchok +380972636006- Economy

My flight didn't leave on time and I didn't make it to the 9:40 am check-in. Then I bought an additional flight at 6:30 pm from Gdansk to Barcelona, ββbut my flight was rescheduled again and I didn't make it.

We had flight at 10:10 AM with WIzzair and had plenty of time to arrive and check in for our cruise with MSC. Instead of 10:10, flight was in 16:20 which is more than 6 hours delay. Because of the delay, our cruise ship has gone (check in finished at 7PM as also stated in cruise documentation) and was left without accommodation. We could join cruise only on the next possible destination 2 days later and before that spent extra money (which wouldnt be spent in the ship as it was full board) for food, transportation and hotel. We asked airline to reimburse 400EUR as per EU regulation (800 EUR for 2 passengers) and additional 1000 EUR for hotel, 2 days of cruise we missed, transport and food/restaurants ,but they refused sending us to EU commission, which doesnt even operate in our country.

I had already checked in, and on that day, I had to wait for three hours on the plane before they suddenly made us disembark, citing a maintenance issue. Then, they told us the next flight was scheduled for 4 PM the following day and that they would provide a hotel. However, we had to wait at the airport until 3 AM, and due to the large number of people, I had to leave and book a hotel myself. The next day, I was informed of another delay, but my schedule was too tight to take the flight since I would have had to return immediately upon arrival. As a result, I couldnβt use the hotel I had booked, which cost 950 AED. However, Wizz Air claims that I am not eligible for compensation because I didnβt check in, even though I actually did.- Abu Dhabi-Budapest

Seat
Hello, I was flying with my daughter on a Liverpool-Katowice + Katowice -Liverpool flight (EPIWPH). When buying the ticket, I bought seats (my daughter was sick and we were flying for tests, so I wanted to sit next to her, close to the toilet and exit). During online check-in, they changed my seats, so I had to pay again to sit where we wanted. Before boarding, they changed our seats again!!! I was sitting away from my daughter!!!! The staff said that I should file a complaint with Wizzair, so I did. It's horrible and unfair, why do you pay for something (twice) and you still aren't sure. It was a difficult situation for us because I was flying with my daughter when she was sick, not on holiday. IZABELA TUTON

Upon arrival at the Barcelona El Prat airport, I learned that my flight was canceled. I was not informed of the reasons and was given an option to stay at the hotel. Since I lived in Barcelona at that time, I didn't use the hotel option and simply went back home. I got an option of an alternative flight on the following day (W61176 on 13th Dec) and it was to KATOWICE not Krakow. So I had to buy a bus ticket to Krakow (in Polish, attached) I was informed about my right to complain which I did on the Wizzair website. I have attached the entire communication. WizzAir claimed the cancellation was ''due to unexpected circumstances which were beyond our control'' so I don't have the right to compensation. I found information that I can appeal to that decision to AESA. I received a reply from them on 29/11/2024 (attached). They confirmed I should receive 400 euros compensation but they are only an advisory body.- Barcelona-Krakow

Similar as in previous claims - the name used in communication with the airlines when booking the flight was my maiden name - Hakenberg, that was changed after getting married to Hakenberg-Zilberman. The flight from Oct 27th 2024 was officially cancelled on October 15th, and then I received another email on October 23rd they are sorry they cancelled the flight (but no flight number there)- Tel-aviv-Warsaw

1) I registered the claim as Natalia Hakenberg-Zilberman, but the booking and ticket was for my maiden name - Hakenberg, that's why attached also my previous passport, that was valid at the time of the planned flight. 2) The airlines offered the replacement flight and I initially rebooked it, but it was also cancelled - that't why I marked I didn't use another flight offered by the airlines. 3) The original was cancelled on October 8th, after 18:00 (less than 24hours before the flight) 4) The attached invoices are for renting a car and getting a taxi to the airport to find another replacement flight by ourselves.- Tel-aviv-Warsaw

Hi, yesterday Katowice -Catania flight (W6 1043) was diverted from Catania to Palermo. We landed in Sicily at 2:30 pm but the bus transfer to Catania arrived at Palermo Airport only at 10 pm without any kind of assistance (updates, water, food). I reached Catania after 1 am of 17/02/2025 obliging me to miss events and important meetings in Catania. In addition, the other flight companies were providing buses transfer in time allowing other passangers to come back in Catania at a reasonable time while Wizzair didn't support us at all. I'm asking to be refunded for all the troubles i went thought due to your lack of support and efficiency. Volcano eruptions can't prevent Wizzair in supporting passengers anytime.- Katowice-Catania

The additional costs are the cost of travel both ways (the recive I got doesnt specify the prices of the individual tickets). So it is dubbled with another claim for wizzair that I had. It should be returned only once. Or part with one part with the other claim.- Tel-aviv-Warsaw

The airline told me the delay was due to elements outside of their control.

Problems at airport
Wizz Air flight W95771 from London Gatwick to Istanbul International Airport was scheduled to depart at 06:35 but faced significant delays. After boarding, passengers waited on the plane for nearly 2.5 hours before being sent back to the gate by bus. At that point we had no understanding whether we were getting transferred to another vehicle, whether we would get on the next flight scheduled that day or we would have to return another day. A replacement flight was eventually provided at 12:00, but before takeoff, the crew announced they were "hoping" everything was working this time. The flight finally departed, severely disrupting my plans and causing me to miss my connecting flightβdespite having a 5-hour layover. As a result, I had to rebook my ticket at an additional cost of 130 Euros.- London-Istanbul

Instead of 9am we arrived at Eindhoven 9pm! This is because the airplane landed on a Germany airport, and they sent ONLY ONE bus to that airport, everyone loadet theis suitcase in the bus storage, but after that we needet to took it out, becouse not enough space in the bus for all the passangers! After that we waited about 2 hours in freezing cknditions but no other busses are arrived! Then we taken a public transport, but it's a long journey to Eindhoven airport, about 4 hours...

The landing was done in a hurry, not per usual process which caused headaches to myself, my brother and many other passengers.

Delay of over 3h for Wizzair flight W61350 (reservation number : TNKFTN) planned on 26/10/2024 from Nice (FR) to Warsaw (PL). Explanation received by wizzair; delay caused by air traffic control regulation. However i started receving the first SMS for delay at 15:00, 6h prior to the scheduled flight in NICE. and 2 more throughout the evening, the delay kept grewing throughout the day, meaning it was not caused by any element related to starting airport (NCE), whether it was weather, air traffic, etc. I was checking as well throughout the day on flight radar, and i could see that the plane assigned to our scheduled flight, accumulated delays in his previous flights (Leeds airport, warsaw airport,etc). I do not agree with wizzair explanation which is clearly insufficient and sounds like a basic response to give to their customers.- Nice-Warsaw
