Flight compensation Bulgaria Air:
Bourgas — St. Petersburg

Get your Bulgaria Air flight compensation for the route Bourgas - St. Petersburg

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Bulgaria Air did not respect its scheduled times for your Bourgas - St. Petersburg flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 925 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Bulgaria Air to pay you financial compensation.

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 Bulgaria Air Bourgas - St. Petersburg is eligible?

For an Bulgaria Air flight from Bourgas to St. Petersburg, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Bulgaria Air BOJ-LED flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Bourgas.

What are the conditions for Bulgaria Air to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at St. Petersburg.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bourgas airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Bulgaria Air (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Bulgaria Air compensation

Don't be fooled by Bulgaria 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, Bulgaria Air is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

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 Bourgas - St. Petersburg line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Bulgaria Air will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
