Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Bucharest — Madrid

Get your Wizz Air flight compensation for the route Bucharest - Madrid

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 458 km of flight, the company Wizz Air is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

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

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Madrid.

The impact of a strike on your Wizz Air compensation

Don't be fooled by Wizz Air's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Wizz Air is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Wizz Air must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Bucharest.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Henri Coand? International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
