Procedure: Bulgaria Air flight compensation from Moscow to Bourgas
From Sheremetyevo International Airport airport, your departure with Bulgaria Air to Bourgas 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 1 651 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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO)
- Arrival airport: Burgas Airport (BOJ)
- Flight distance: 1 651 km (~2h04)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
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.

The impact of a strike on your Bulgaria Air compensation
If your Bulgaria Air flight from Sheremetyevo International Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

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

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Sheremetyevo International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Bulgaria Air.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from Bulgaria Air?
Getting justice against carrier Bulgaria Air requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.
Don't fill out complex forms on the Bulgaria Air website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 400 € indemnity.
How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?
On the SVO-BOJ line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Bulgaria Air's legal department.
If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Moscow - Bourgas section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
The first refusal from Bulgaria Air should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.
DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Bulgaria Air is often more striking.
