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.

  • Arrival airport: Vilnius International Airport (VNO)
  • Flight distance: 1 486 km (~1h51)

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 Wizz Air Bergamo - Vilnius is eligible?

The impact of a strike on your Wizz Air compensation

If your Wizz Air flight from Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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