Flight compensation Tarom:
Brussels — Bucharest

How to be compensated by Tarom on the Brussels (BRU) - Bucharest (OTP) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Tarom did not respect its scheduled times for your Brussels - Bucharest flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 754 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

For an Tarom flight from Brussels to Bucharest, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Tarom sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Brussels Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

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

The impact of a strike on your Tarom compensation

Don't be fooled by Tarom's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

A strike by weather services at Brussels Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Tarom has no control.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Brussels Airport airport, Tarom is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Brussels Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Tarom?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Henri Coand? International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Tarom.

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

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Tarom. An expert can reduce this time by half.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Tarom on your smartphone.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Brussels - Bucharest line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Tarom convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
