Flight compensation Bulgaria Air:
Frankfurt — Sofia

Get your Bulgaria Air flight compensation for the route Frankfurt - Sofia

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 397 km of flight, the company Bulgaria Air is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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 Frankfurt - Sofia is eligible?

The compensation for flight FRA-SOF is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Bulgaria Air sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Frankfurt am Main International Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Bulgaria Air to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Sofia.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Frankfurt 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

A work stoppage of Bulgaria Air crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

A strike by weather services at Frankfurt am Main International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Bulgaria Air has no control.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Frankfurt am Main International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
