Claim and compensation for flight Tarom Milan - Bucharest

Your claim for compensation for the Tarom flight from Milan to Bucharest deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 323 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Linate Airport (LIN)
  • Arrival airport: Henri Coand? International Airport (OTP)
  • Flight distance: 1 323 km (~1h39)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Tarom.

How to know if the flight Tarom Milan - 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 250 € 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 Milan airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Tarom (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

The impact of a strike on your Tarom compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Milan - Bucharest trip is due to an internal strike within Tarom, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Tarom is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

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

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Linate 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 Linate Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

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

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Milan to Henri Coand? International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

By entrusting the recovery of your 250 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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

Don't take Tarom's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
