Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Bucharest — Barcelona

Legal right to compensation: Wizz Air flight between Bucharest and Barcelona

Your claim for compensation for the Wizz Air flight from Bucharest to Barcelona deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 980 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Wizz Air, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Wizz Air offers you a voucher for your Bucharest - Barcelona flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Bucharest, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Barcelona.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bucharest 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Bucharest - Barcelona trip is due to an internal strike within Wizz Air, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Henri Coand? International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Wizz Air has no control.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Wizz Air 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 Henri Coand? International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Wizz Air?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Wizz Air boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Henri Coand? International Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Wizz Air. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Wizz Air flight from Bucharest can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Don't take Wizz Air's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Wizz Air will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
