Flight compensation Wizz Air:
London — Craiova

How to be compensated by Wizz Air on the London (LTN) - Craiova (CRA) line

From London Luton Airport airport, your departure with Wizz Air to Craiova didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 975 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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Wizz Air London - Craiova is eligible?

For an Wizz Air flight from London to Craiova, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Wizz Air sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at London Luton Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Craiova.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at London 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your London - Craiova trip is due to an internal strike within Wizz Air, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

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 London 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 London.

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

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

Getting justice against carrier Wizz Air requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Wizz Air flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

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

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Wizz Air. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Wizz Air flight from London can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Wizz Air convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
