Flight compensation Norwegian Air Shuttle:
Helsinki — Bourgas

Procedure: Norwegian Air Shuttle flight compensation from Helsinki to Bourgas

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Norwegian Air Shuttle did not respect its scheduled times for your Helsinki - Bourgas flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 981 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Norwegian Air Shuttle to pay you financial compensation.

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.

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 Norwegian Air Shuttle Helsinki - Bourgas is eligible?

The compensation for flight HEL-BOJ is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

Keeping your travel documents for the Norwegian Air Shuttle HEL-BOJ flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Helsinki.

What are the conditions for Norwegian Air Shuttle 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 Helsinki airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Norwegian Air Shuttle (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Norwegian Air Shuttle compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Burgas Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Helsinki Vantaa Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Norwegian Air Shuttle must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Helsinki.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Helsinki Vantaa Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Norwegian Air Shuttle.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Norwegian Air Shuttle?

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Helsinki - 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 use of complex legal jargon by Norwegian Air Shuttle is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 400 €.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Norwegian Air Shuttle is often more striking.
