Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Sofia — Bergamo

How to be compensated by Wizz Air on the Sofia (SOF) - Bergamo (BGY) line

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

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 140 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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Sofia - Bergamo is eligible?

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

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

What are the conditions for Wizz Air to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bergamo.
• 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 Wizz Air (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Wizz Air compensation

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

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Wizz 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?

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

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Sofia Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Wizz Air.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Wizz Air?

The amicable route with Wizz Air to recover 250 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Wizz Air flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Sofia to Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Wizz Air flight from Sofia can also be a way to get your funds faster.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Don't take Wizz Air's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
