Flight compensation Tarom:
Sofia — Bucharest

Legal right to compensation: Tarom flight between Sofia and Bucharest

The SOF - OTP route operated by Tarom experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Sofia and Bucharest (300 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Tarom.

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.

Did you know? Even if Tarom is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Sofia Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

To determine if your trip between Sofia and Bucharest entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 300 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

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

If your Tarom flight from Sofia Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Sofia - Bucharest flight.

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