Flight compensation Tarom:
Bucharest — Budapest

Claim and compensation for flight Tarom Bucharest - Budapest

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

Given the route between Bucharest and Budapest (615 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Tarom.

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.

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

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

To determine if your trip between Bucharest and Budapest 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 Bucharest, 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 Budapest.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bucharest 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 Budapest Listz Ferenc 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 Henri Coand? International 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 Bucharest airport in case of prolonged wait?

During these long hours of waiting in the Henri Coand? International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

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

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Tarom?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Tarom boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Henri Coand? International Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

How long does it take to get the 250 € 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 Bucharest - Budapest 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?

An unfounded refusal from Tarom is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Tarom is often more striking.
