Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Valencia — Bucharest

How to be compensated by Wizz Air on the Valencia (VLC) - Bucharest (OTP) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Wizz Air did not respect its scheduled times for your Valencia - Bucharest flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 255 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.

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.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Henri Coand? International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Wizz Air owes you 400 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Valencia Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

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 Valencia 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

A work stoppage of Wizz Air crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

A strike by weather services at Valencia Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Wizz Air has no control.

What are your rights at Valencia 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 Valencia.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Valencia Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Wizz Air.

Steps: how to get your 400 € 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 400 € compensation?

Airlines like Wizz Air sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

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

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 Valencia - Bucharest line.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
