Flight compensation Bulgaria Air:
Sofia — Milano

Procedure: Bulgaria Air flight compensation from Sofia to Milano

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 214 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Bulgaria Air to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

For an Bulgaria Air flight from Sofia to Milano, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

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

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Milano.

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Bulgaria Air staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

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 Sofia - Milano flight.

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