Flight compensation Tarom:
Prague — Bucharest

File your refund for Tarom Prague → Bucharest

Your payout case for the Tarom flight from Prague to Bucharest is likely valid. Travel chaos is stressful for any traveller.

Leaving Ruzyn? International Airport, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 1 081 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. The first tier (≤1500 km) applies.

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.

Since the Sturgeon ruling of 2009, delays over 3 hours are treated the same as cancellations regarding payout entitlement. This greatly broadened the scope of the regulation.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Bucharest. If Tarom made you wait more than three hours at Henri Coand? International Airport, your right is established.

Even if Tarom offers a replacement flight, the 250€ indemnity remains owed if the final delay at Bucharest is over the 180-minute threshold.

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 Prague 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 vigilant: Tarom might cite a disruption without clarifying whether it was its own staff or airport personnel. This distinction changes everything for your {case|right to 250€}.

However, if ground handlers at Ruzyn? International Airport or screening personnel take action, this constitutes an extraordinary circumstance. In this scenario, the 250€ are not owed.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Tarom must ensure the wellbeing of passengers stuck at Prague. This 2-hour threshold applies to flights ≤1500 km.

The regulation is very clear: assistance is not an optional courtesy from Tarom. It is a legal obligation that can be sanctioned.
