Frequently Asked Questions — Delays and cancellations at Warsaw Chopin Airport

Delays and cancellations at Warsaw Chopin Airport: can the airline deny my claims?

Flight compensation does not apply in all situations. Situations that do not allow passengers to claim compensation are called “extraordinary circumstances”. These include, but are not limited to:

• Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.

• A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).

  However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!

• Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.

• Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.

• A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.

• An ill or unruly passenger.

• Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.

How much time do I have to submit my flight compensation claim?

The time limit for submitting a claim varies and is determined by the regulations of the departure and destination countries, as well as the location of the airline's headquarters.

For example, if you fly Wizz Air from Warsaw Chopin Airport to London Gatwick airport, you can claim compensation based on the laws of the following countries:
