Flight compensation Bulgaria Air:
Sofia — Prague

Claim and compensation for flight Bulgaria Air Sofia - Prague

Your claim for compensation for the Bulgaria Air flight from Sofia to Prague deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Sofia Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 080 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Did you know? Even if Bulgaria Air is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Sofia Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Bulgaria Air offers you a voucher for your Sofia - Prague flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 1 080 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Bulgaria Air to compensate you?

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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Sofia - Prague trip is due to an internal strike within Bulgaria Air, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Bulgaria Air is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

If Sofia Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Bulgaria Air, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Sofia Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
