How to be compensated by Tarom on the Munich (MUC) - Bucharest (OTP) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Tarom did not respect its scheduled times for your Munich - 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 1 171 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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: Munich International Airport (MUC)
  • Arrival airport: Henri Coand? International Airport (OTP)
  • Flight distance: 1 171 km (~1h28)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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 Munich - Bucharest is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Henri Coand? International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Tarom owes you 250 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Tarom MUC-OTP flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Munich.

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Munich, 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 Munich - Bucharest trip is due to an internal strike within Tarom, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

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

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Munich International Airport, Tarom must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Munich International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Tarom.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Tarom?

The amicable route with Tarom to recover 250 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Tarom flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

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

Airlines like Tarom sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

A collective action on the Tarom flight from Munich can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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 Munich - Bucharest line.

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.
