Legal right to compensation: Tarom flight between Barcelona and Bucharest

The BCN - OTP route operated by Tarom experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Barcelona International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 980 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Barcelona International Airport (BCN)
  • Arrival airport: Henri Coand? International Airport (OTP)
  • Flight distance: 1 980 km (~2h29)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Did you know? Even if Tarom is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Barcelona International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Bucharest. If Tarom made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Henri Coand? International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

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 Barcelona airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Tarom (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Barcelona, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

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 Barcelona International Airport 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 Barcelona airport in case of prolonged wait?

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

Your forced stay at Barcelona shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your BCN-OTP trip.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Tarom?

For your Barcelona - Bucharest trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Tarom staff at the Barcelona International Airport counter during the incident.

By entrusting your case regarding flight BCN-OTP to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

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

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Tarom to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

Recovering 400 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Tarom systems.

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 Barcelona International Airport airport to prove their faults.
