What happened
A reader flew Wizz Air from Palma de Mallorca (PMI) to Milan Malpensa (MXP) and had their checked suitcase severely damaged. After filing a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) and submitting an online claim, Wizz Air offered only a €50 flight credit. The reader declined and provided further documentation, but the airline stopped responding after a month. Since the reader is US-based, they cannot use the European Consumer Centre (ECC). The article clarifies that the claim falls under the Montreal Convention, not EU261.
