Procedure: Wizz Air flight compensation from Madrid to Timisoara

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Madrid and Timisoara with Wizz Air? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.
