Get your Air Europa flight compensation for the route Barcelona - Bucharest
From Barcelona International Airport airport, your departure with Air Europa to Bucharest didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.
Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 980 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Air Europa to pay you financial compensation.
Why are you entitled to 400 €?
The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Barcelona International Airport (BCN)
- Arrival airport: Henri Coand? International Airport (OTP)
- Flight distance: 1 980 km (~2h29)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.
How to know if the flight Air Europa Barcelona - Bucharest is eligible?
The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Henri Coand? International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Air Europa owes you 400 €.
The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Air Europa sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Barcelona International Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.
What are the conditions for Air Europa to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bucharest.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Barcelona airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air Europa (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Barcelona, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Air Europa compensation
Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Barcelona - Bucharest trip is due to an internal strike within Air Europa, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.
A strike by weather services at Barcelona International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Air Europa has no control.
What are your rights at Barcelona airport in case of prolonged wait?
Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Air Europa must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Barcelona.
Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Barcelona International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
