Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Bucharest — Valencia

Claim and compensation for flight Wizz Air Bucharest - Valencia

The OTP - VLC route operated by Wizz Air experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Bucharest and Valencia (2 255 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Wizz Air.

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.

Did you know? Even if Wizz Air is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Henri Coand? International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Valencia. If Wizz Air made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Valencia Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 2 255 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air to compensate you?

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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Valencia Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Henri Coand? International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

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

If Henri Coand? International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Wizz Air, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Your forced stay at Bucharest shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your OTP-VLC trip.

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

For your Bucharest - Valencia trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Wizz Air staff at the Henri Coand? International Airport counter during the incident.

By entrusting your case regarding flight OTP-VLC to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

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

A frequent question concerns processing times. A claim filed directly with Wizz Air customer service can take several weeks or even months before getting a response.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Bucharest - Valencia section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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

An unfounded refusal from Wizz Air is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Wizz Air is often more striking.
