Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Dortmund — Bucharest

Claim and compensation for flight Wizz Air Dortmund - Bucharest

If your trip departing from Dortmund Airport and arriving at Henri Coand? International Airport operated by Wizz Air was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 569 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Wizz Air, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Wizz Air offers you a voucher for your Dortmund - Bucharest flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 1 569 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 Bucharest.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Dortmund 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 Henri Coand? International 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.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Dortmund - Bucharest flight.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Dortmund Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

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

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

Starting a procedure against Wizz Air for a flight from Dortmund to Bucharest can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

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

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

On the DTM-OTP line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Wizz Air's legal department.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Dortmund - Bucharest 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?

The first refusal from Wizz Air should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

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