How to know if the flight Wizz Air Bucharest - Bologna is eligible?
To determine if your trip between Bucharest and Bologna entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

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...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Bucharest, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Wizz Air compensation

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

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