Refund and compensation Olympic Airlines: route Sofia to Athens

Your claim for compensation for the Olympic Airlines flight from Sofia to Athens deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 531 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 Olympic Airlines 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 Olympic Airlines Sofia - Athens is eligible?

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

Also note that the distance of 531 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 Olympic Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Athens.
• 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 Olympic Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.
