Flight compensation Bulgaria Air:
Madrid — Sofia

Procedure: Bulgaria Air flight compensation from Madrid to Sofia

From Madrid Barajas International Airport airport, your departure with Bulgaria Air to Sofia didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 2 247 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Bulgaria Air Madrid - Sofia is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Sofia Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Bulgaria Air owes you 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Bulgaria Air MAD-SOF flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Madrid.

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 Madrid 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Sofia Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Madrid - Sofia flight.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Madrid Barajas International Airport, Bulgaria Air must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.
