Whether you paid €50 or €500, the compensation remains the same: 250€ per passenger. {The distance|The 1 449 km} matters, not the ticket price. On this short flight, the fixed compensation is guaranteed.

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.

A strike by ATC services at Frankfurt am Main International Airport or European ATC is an external cause over which Tarom has no control.

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