The short answer
Was W64406 delayed long enough for EU 261 compensation?
Wizz Air flight W64406 from Barcelona El Prat to Sofia International Airport EAD arrived about three hours late on 12 October 2026, going by reported arrival times. That is right at the three-hour mark in EU Regulation 261/2004, which counts the delay until the doors open, so the exact gate time decides it. The route is 1,765 km. If it clears three hours, the statutory amount for this distance is €400 per passenger when the airline is responsible.
