Flight compensation Tarom:
Amsterdam — Bucharest

Refund and compensation Tarom: route Amsterdam to Bucharest

If your trip departing from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and arriving at Henri Coand? International Airport operated by Tarom was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 783 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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 is not a commercial gesture from Tarom, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Tarom Amsterdam - Bucharest is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Amsterdam and Bucharest entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Amsterdam, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Tarom 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 Amsterdam airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Tarom (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Tarom 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 Amsterdam Airport Schiphol airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

What are your rights at Amsterdam airport in case of prolonged wait?

If Amsterdam Airport Schiphol airport becomes your temporary residence because of Tarom, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Tarom?

Starting a procedure against Tarom for a flight from Amsterdam to Bucharest can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 400 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

A frequent question concerns processing times. A claim filed directly with Tarom customer service can take several weeks or even months before getting a response.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Amsterdam - Bucharest section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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

The use of complex legal jargon by Tarom is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 400 €.

A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol airport to prove their faults.
