If you missed your connection on a Wizz Air flight and were delayed by six hours, you may be able to get compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 (EU-261).
This is because your flight was delayed by more than three hours when it arrived, and this was due to problems that were controlled by the airline and not "extraordinary circumstances."
The amount of reimbursement is based on the length of the flight: up to 1,500 km costs €250, 1,500–3,500 km costs €400, and flights longer than 3,500 km cost €600.
Keep your booking reference and arrival time (which should show the 6-hour delay) and use Wizz Air's claims site to file a claim.
If Wizz Air rejects your claim, file a complaint on Xolvie to connect with others and find support.
