The PRG - OTP route operated by Czech Airlines experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.
By taking off from Ruzyn? International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 081 km determines your legal compensation level.
Why are you entitled to 250 €?
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.

How to know if the flight Czech Airlines Prague - Bucharest is eligible?
Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Czech Airlines offers you a voucher for your Prague - Bucharest flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.
Also note that the distance of 1 081 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.
What are the conditions for Czech Airlines 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 Prague airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Czech Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Prague, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Czech Airlines compensation
Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Prague - Bucharest trip is due to an internal strike within Czech Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.
Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Prague, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Czech Airlines.
What are your rights at Prague airport in case of prolonged wait?
Don't buy your food without first asking Czech Airlines for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.
In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Ruzyn? International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
