Process: compensation for Wizz Air flight from Bucharest to Villafranca

Your Wizz Air flight from Bucharest to Villafranca was delayed, cancelled or overbooked? Don't stay silent: EU regulation protects you.

Fortunately, for this route of 1 197 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 requires Wizz Air to pay you a fixed indemnity. On a short-haul flight like this, a specific compensation tier applies.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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.

Too few travellers claim what they're owed (less than 15% on average). Don't let this money go unclaimed: the process, despite its complexity, is an absolute right for every passenger.

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

The indemnity for OTP-VRN is a payout for time lost, not merely a commercial gesture. For this short-haul flight, the 3-hour threshold remains the key criterion.

Connecting passengers are also protected. If your first Wizz Air segment Bucharest-Villafranca causes a knock-on delay, the indemnity is calculated on the overall arrival delay.

• 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

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 wellbeing of passengers stuck at Bucharest. This 2-hour threshold applies to flights ≤1500 km.

If your replacement flight is only the next day, Wizz Air must also cover your hotel night close to Henri Coand? International Airport and the shuttle transfer between the airport and accommodation.
