How to know if the flight Wizz Air Zaragoza - Bucharest is eligible?
The departure time is not the relevant criterion. Only the {arrival time at Bucharest|time the doors open at Henri Coand? International Airport} establishes your {eligibility|right to 400€}.
The 400€ fixed payout is owed per passenger. If you travelled as a family: every passenger can claim {the same amount|400€}. At this intermediate tier, the per-passenger indemnity is substantial.

-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Zaragoza airport.

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

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