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 travel credit for your Prague → Bucharest flight, you can also demand the monetary compensation of 250€ provided by law.
A little-known fact: you have up to 5 years to file your claim against Czech Airlines for the Prague→Bucharest flight. Don't assume it's impossible to claim if the incident was some time ago.

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
The CJEU has definitively ruled: staff strikes are not force majeure for carriers. This precedent is authoritative across all 27 EU member states.

What are your rights at Prague airport in case of prolonged wait?
What few know: the assistance obligation remains valid even {in extraordinary circumstances|when force majeure is invoked|when the 250€ indemnity is not owed}. Even if Czech Airlines is excused from compensation, assistance remains mandatory.
The law is unambiguous: care is never a goodwill gesture from Czech Airlines. It is a regulatory requirement enforceable in court.
