Get your Wizz Air flight payout for Bucharest → Eindhoven

Regularly, many passengers suffer delays on Bucharest - Eindhoven with Wizz Air. Most don't know they can claim financial compensation.

Your payout amount is independent of the fare. The distance alone of 1 712 km determines the payout under CE 261/2004.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Henri Coand? International Airport (OTP)
  • Arrival airport: Eindhoven Airport (EIN)
  • Flight distance: 1 712 km (~2h08)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This statutory compensation system was designed to deter airlines from altering schedules without valid grounds. Make sure you invoke this often-overlooked regulation.
