Flight compensation Tarom:
Dublin — Bucharest

Legal right: Tarom flight between Dublin and Bucharest

You travelled with Tarom from Dublin to Bucharest and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

With 2 530 km between Dublin Airport and Henri Coand? International Airport, EU regulation grants you a fixed indemnity of 400€ per passenger.

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 by no means a commercial courtesy from Tarom, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

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

Distinguish between fare reimbursement and statutory indemnity! Even if Tarom proposes a voucher for your Dublin - Bucharest flight, you can still claim the cash sum of 400€ guaranteed by the regulation.

What many don't know: you have up to 5 years to submit your request against Tarom for the Dublin-Bucharest flight. Don't think it's too late even after several months.

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

The impact of a strike on your Tarom compensation

Be wary by Tarom's evasive wording: a "spontaneous" or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. Regardless of distance, the principle remains identical for strikes.

An specialist firm can easily identify whether the strike that impacted your Tarom Dublin→Bucharest flight is an internal or external cause.

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

Once the delay reaches the regulatory threshold, i.e. 3 hours for flights between 1500 and 3500 km, Tarom must automatically provide the regulatory care to all passenger{s} waiting at Dublin.

In case of a next-day flight delay, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers to and from Dublin Airport are fully at the airline's expense.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Tarom?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Tarom boarding pass and all communications regarding the delay at Dublin Airport. These documents are crucial for supporting your case.

If you don't have the time for lengthy email exchanges, delegating your claim to specialists is the fastest way to see your 400€ credited in your account.

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

Airlines like Tarom sometimes prioritise cases handled by lawyers to avoid additional costs. Medium-haul cases have a standard processing timeline.

By choosing a "No Win, No Fee" service, you take no risk. If the 400€ aren't recovered, you owe nothing. As transparent as that.

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

Don't believe Tarom's letter stating that Dublin's airport was hit by weather without checking official reports.

If you are confident of your eligibility, you can approach the national aviation body of the departure country, or better still, escalate the case to court with a specialist legal counsel.
