Cluj-napoca — Eindhoven

Legal right: Wizz Air flight between Cluj-napoca and Eindhoven

If your journey from Cluj-Napoca International Airport to Eindhoven Airport operated by Wizz Air was disrupted, you are not alone when dealing with the carrier.

Given the route between Cluj-napoca and Eindhoven (1 425 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Wizz Air. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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.

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from Wizz Air, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Cluj-napoca - Eindhoven is eligible?

Distinguish between fare reimbursement and statutory indemnity! Even if Wizz Air proposes a voucher for your Cluj-napoca - Eindhoven flight, you can still claim the cash sum of 250€ guaranteed by the regulation.

In the case of a flight suppression, if you were informed fewer than two weeks before your departure from Cluj-napoca, the CE 261 applies equally.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Eindhoven.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Cluj-napoca airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Wizz Air (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
