Bulgaria Air Flight Delay Compensation
What to do in case of a Bulgaria Air flight delay?
Have you recently experienced a delay on a Bulgaria Air flight? According to EU law, passengers flying with EU-registered airlines may be entitled to compensation worth up to €600 in the case of significant flight delays or unforeseen cancellations. While the law is unambiguously meant to protect air passengers, due to airlines’ unwillingness to face additional costs, it can be very difficult to enforce your rights on your own. SkyRefund will help you.
You can use our compensation calculator to easily determine if your flight is eligible for compensation. Our legal experts will then build your case and take it to the airline, to the administrative bodies and even to court, if necessary, to ensure that you receive what is rightfully yours. Meanwhile, you can lay back and relax.

And we suggest doing it with SkyRefund. We will make the process of claiming your due flight delay compensation quick and easy.
Bulgaria Air Flight Delay
In order to be eligible to compensation, your Bulgaria Air flight needs to meet two basic conditions:
- You arrived at your final destination with a delay of more than three hours
- Your flight was not subject to extraordinary circumstances
Extraordinary circumstances are:
- Bad weather conditions
- Bird strikes
- Security risks
- Control tower traffic restrictions
- Medical emergencies
- A medical emergency
- Union and airport strikes (but not airline strikes)
Any event leading to a delay or cancellation that cannot be prevented by the airline can be considered as an extraordinary circumstance.
Bulgaria Air Cancelled Flight
Under EU Regulation 261/2004, you could claim cancelled flight compensation if you were informed of the disruption less than two weeks before your actual departure. Please check the table below:
| Notice Given | Arrival at Final Destination |
| 14 Days or More | No compensation |
| 7-13 Days | Your alternate flight arrived at your final destination more than 4 hours late. |
| Less than 7 Days |
Your replacement flight arrived at your final destination more than 2 hours late. |
If you were informed well before your flight and you are not eligible to compensation, you have the right to rerouting to your final destination or a full refund for your ticket price.
Denied Boarding
Overbooked flights usually happen when the company sold more seats than the ones available on the plane for that particular flight.
Under EC261 in order to be eligible to reimbursement, you had to be denied boarding against your will.
In most cases the airline ask for volunteers willing to give up their seat for benefits. Consider the offer carefully as if you accept it, you would lose your compensation eligibility.
