Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Bergamo — Bucharest

File your refund for Wizz Air Bergamo → Bucharest

The stress of a cancellation at Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport towards Bucharest with Wizz Air gives you a right to a payout. Here are the steps you can take.

The legal coverage under CE 261/2004 applies by law when Wizz Air breaches its duties on the 1 289 km route from Bergamo to Bucharest.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, making Regulation 261/2004 a powerful tool against failings by carriers like Wizz Air.

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Bergamo - Bucharest is eligible?

To check if your journey between Bergamo and Bucharest qualifies for compensation, the main criterion is the delay at destination ({not the departure delay|measured at Henri Coand? International Airport}). It must be greater than 3 hours.

Watch out for traps: Wizz Air might try to offer a voucher in exchange. Don't accept anything before checking with a legal professional.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air 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 Bergamo airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Wizz Air (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Wizz Air compensation

A strike action by Wizz Air's flight staff is deemed part of the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250€.

A strike by air traffic control at Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport or Eurocontrol is an independent circumstance over which Wizz Air cannot act.

What are your rights at Bergamo airport in case of prolonged wait?

The right to care is a crucial provision of the EU text. Regardless of the 250€ question, if the delay drags on at Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport, Wizz Air is obliged to provide coupons for food and drink.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, the right to assistance at Bergamo remains valid. The hotel is owed if Wizz Air pushes your flight by a day.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Wizz Air?

For your Bergamo - Bucharest flight, every detail matters. Note down the explanations provided by Wizz Air staff at Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport during the disruption.

By entrusting your BGY-OTP case to our experts, you benefit from the "no result, no charge" principle (you only pay if you win).

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Persistence is usually essential. Airlines handle thousands of claims weekly and your Bergamo to Henri Coand? International Airport case can drag on if you don't follow up.

Digital tools now make it possible to track in real time the status of your claim against Wizz Air via an app. Short-haul cases are often resolved more quickly.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Don't believe Wizz Air's letter stating that Bergamo's airport was hit by weather without checking official reports.

As a final step, it is a legal summons that typically triggers payment. Wizz Air will nearly invariably prefer to settle the 250€ rather than incur additional legal costs for a case it knows it will lose in court.
