Flight compensation Bulgaria Air:
Sofia — Zurich

Get your Bulgaria Air flight compensation for the route Sofia - Zurich

From Sofia Airport airport, your departure with Bulgaria Air to Zurich 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 1 279 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

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.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Zurich airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Bulgaria Air owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Bulgaria Air sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Sofia Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Bulgaria Air to compensate you?

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

A work stoppage of Bulgaria Air crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Sofia, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Bulgaria Air.

What are your rights at Sofia 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 Sofia Airport, Bulgaria Air must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Sofia Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
