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

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

Even in force majeure cases, the right to assistance at Nice still applies. The hotel must be provided if Tarom delays your flight overnight.

To get started: submit a written complaint to Tarom's claims department explicitly citing Regulation CE 261/2004 and {the 400€ amount|your specific claim}.
