How to get compensated from Wizz Air on Bologna (BLQ) - Sofia (SOF)

Your Wizz Air flight from Bologna to Sofia was delayed, cancelled or overbooked? Don't stay silent: EU regulation protects you.

Regulation 261/2004 is clear: for 996 km, Wizz Air is bound by a compensation obligation if the flight is cancelled.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Bologna - Sofia is eligible?
