For bookings made less than 20 days before the flight, the same announced fuel surcharge applies, if any. The airfares in these offers are calculated using the following fuel prices per tonne for 1 flight leg: Sofia/Varna – 800 dollars per tonne, Maldives – 800 dollars per tonne, and an exchange rate of USD 1,00 for EUR 1,00. The net fuel surcharge formula is: ((X-Y) x Z) + ((X1-Y1) x Z1)/number of seats = NET FUEL SURCHARGE. X is the current fuel price on a given date before or during the flight programme; Y is the fuel price stated above and used to calculate the offers; Z is average fuel consumption in tonnes on the Sofia/Varna – Maldives leg. X1, Y1 and Z1 represent the same components for the return Maldives – Sofia/Varna leg.
