Get your Wizz Air flight compensation for the route Milano - Bucharest

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 365 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 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Malpensa International Airport (MXP)
  • Arrival airport: Henri Coand? International Airport (OTP)
  • Flight distance: 1 365 km (~1h42)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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 Milano - Bucharest is eligible?

The compensation for flight MXP-OTP is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Malpensa International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

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 Milano airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Wizz Air (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Milano, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Wizz Air compensation

Don't be fooled by Wizz Air's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

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 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Malpensa International Airport, Wizz Air must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Malpensa International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Wizz Air?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Henri Coand? International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

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 250 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Milano to Henri Coand? International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Wizz Air on your smartphone.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Milano - Bucharest line.

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