Steps: claim for Bulgaria Air flight from Moscow to Bourgas
Flight cancelled on your Bulgaria Air flight Moscow ✈ Bourgas? This affects many passengers regularly. Good news: you have concrete rights.
Regardless of the fare €50 or €500, the indemnity is fixed: 400€ per passenger. {The distance|The 1 651 km} is what counts, not the fare. This medium-haul journey qualifies for a substantial payout.

- Arrival airport: Burgas Airport (BOJ)
- Flight distance: 1 651 km (~2h04)

In summary: three situations trigger the 400€ payment on Bulgaria Air Moscow-Bourgas: late arrival over 180 minutes, last-minute cancellation, or involuntary denied boarding. Determine your situation right now.
What are the conditions for Bulgaria Air to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Bulgaria Air compensation
The question of strikes is a common friction point in claims. It is essential to differentiate between a strike by Bulgaria Air's employees (flight crew) and an external strike.
The distinction is subtle but essential. By consulting aviation experts, they will verify in official records the actual cause of the delay recorded on the day of your Moscow - Bourgas flight.
What are your rights at Moscow airport in case of prolonged wait?
Once the delay reaches the regulatory threshold, i.e. 3 hours for flights between 1500 and 3500 km, Bulgaria Air must automatically provide the regulatory care to all passenger{s} waiting at Moscow.
If your replacement flight is only the next day, Bulgaria Air must also cover your hotel night close to Sheremetyevo International Airport and the shuttle transfer between the airport and accommodation.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from Bulgaria Air?
Don't underestimate the resistance from Bulgaria Air. Between evasive replies and department transfers, the claim is designed to discourage you if you're unsupported.
To maximise your chances of success, use a recovery service. These experts master the regulations and won't back down from Bulgaria Air's legal department.
How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?
A common question is about processing times. A claim filed directly to Bulgaria Air's customer service can take months, even half a year before you hear back.
If your case is particularly strong regarding the Moscow - Bourgas incident, some services buy out your right to compensation. You get your payout in record time!
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
Bulgaria Air's use of technical language is often a strategy to encourage travellers to give up on their 400€. On medium-haul, airlines often refuse initially to filter claims.
The Civil Aviation Authority or its European counterparts can be bureaucratic. A direct court claim against Bulgaria Air is often more impactful. Medium-haul cases typically fall under the main civil court.
