Get your Alitalia flight compensation for the route Timisoara - Bucharest
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Alitalia did not respect its scheduled times for your Timisoara - Bucharest flight, the law is on your side.
Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 397 km of flight, the company Alitalia is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.
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.

- Arrival airport: Henri Coand? International Airport (OTP)
- Flight distance: 397 km (~0h30)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
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 Alitalia Timisoara - Bucharest is eligible?
For an Alitalia flight from Timisoara to Bucharest, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.
Keeping your travel documents for the Alitalia TSR-OTP flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Timisoara.
What are the conditions for Alitalia to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bucharest.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Timisoara airport.

The impact of a strike on your Alitalia compensation
When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Henri Coand? International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.
On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Timi?oara Traian Vuia Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.
What are your rights at Timisoara airport in case of prolonged wait?
In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Timi?oara Traian Vuia Airport, Alitalia must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.
If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Timi?oara Traian Vuia Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
