What you can claim from Eurowings
Eurowings operated your flight, so it is responsible under EU Regulation 261/2004 — no matter where the ticket was booked or how much it cost.
Short flights
1,500 km or less
For example Bucharest–Vienna, Chișinău–Warsaw or Kyiv–Budapest.
Mid-range flights
1,500 to 3,500 km
Think Bucharest–London, Chișinău–Barcelona or Kyiv–Lisbon.
Long-haul flights
More than 3,500 km
Such as Bucharest–New York, Vienna–Bangkok or Warsaw–Doha.
Each passenger receives the same fixed sum, in addition to any refund or alternative flight. For long-haul trips arriving 3 to 4 hours late, the amount is €300.
Typical refusals
Excuses Eurowings might use, and why they often don’t hold
We come across these replies more than any others. Not one of them closes a claim on its own.
- Technical problem: everyday maintenance faults are the airline’s own responsibility and don’t count as extraordinary circumstances.
- Poor weather: this only holds if conditions really made your particular flight unsafe — we check it against weather service records.
- Delay carried over from a previous flight: how aircraft are rotated is a scheduling decision made by the airline.
- Crew strike at the airline itself: industrial action inside the company doesn’t release the carrier from paying.
- You took a voucher or a new booking: receiving care or rebooking doesn’t cancel your right to compensation.
