Strike at BH Air: Check online if you can claim compensation
Is your flight canceled because of the strike at BH Air? Do not panic! Here’s how to get compensated in different cases.
Your flight is canceled
You have an alternative: postpone your trip or cancel it. If you choose to cancel, the Bulgarian company will reimburse your ticket in full. If on the contrary you wish to postpone your flight and maintain your journey, the operator undertakes to offer you another flight, under comparable transport conditions, the same or the next day. You can also choose a later date and obtain a credit note, valid for one year, for the value of your ticket.
You are redirected, but late
You choose to arrive at your destination at any cost, and BH Airlines offers you another flight. If the departure is more than two hours after the initial schedule, you will receive a free meal depending on the waiting time. If you are forced to sleep on the spot and you have no accommodation solution, The Bulgarian transporter must offer you accommodation, including liaison transport. Finally, if you decide to make part of the trip with another means of transport (train, bus, car rental, carpooling …), the company reimburses your trip within the limit of € 120 and within the limit of 200 € for a trip in Europe.
And if you have other reservations
A hotel night, a car rental … BH Air offers compensation for people whose flight has been canceled and who have advanced costs. For flights of less than 1,500 km, it is € 250. Between 1,500 and 3,500 km, it is € 500. Finally, for flights outside the European Union and over 3,500 km, it reaches € 600. The costs are obviously to justify to the company … The European transporter has no legal time to respect but must do it within “a reasonable time” according to Katia Dang, expert lawyer at Axa. As a last resort, you can turn to the service provider (hotel, car rental company, etc.). “You have to check if the contract with the service provider cannot be modified or if it does not include a cancellation clause in the event of an exceptional event,” says Katia Dang. If you have taken out cancellation insurance when making your reservation, you will be reimbursed in full. In addition, some bank cards contain cancellation insurance. In this case, it is enough to have paid the trip and reservations with this card to be reimbursed.
