Bucharest — Charleroi

How to be compensated by Wizz Air on the Bucharest (OTP) - Charleroi (CRL) line

From Henri Coand? International Airport airport, your departure with Wizz Air to Charleroi didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 744 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Wizz Air to pay you financial compensation.

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 flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

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

The compensation for flight OTP-CRL is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Wizz Air sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Henri Coand? International Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
