TAROM Flight Delay and Cancellation Compensation

Handling flight issues can be very annoying. However, the bright side is that the European Union has regulations to assist travelers when things get messed up. If you’re taking a plane in the EU, it’s wise to be aware of these protections. They can be useful if your flight goes off course.

Knowing what you’re entitled to can make handling travel complications a lot simpler. While it won’t speed up your journey, it can make you more relaxed when things don’t go as planned.

Passenger Rights under EU Regulation 261/2004

EU air passengers are protected if their flight experiences difficulties. EU laws make sure airlines assist their passengers when things go wrong.

When flights are delayed or cancelled, airlines must offer you:

• Food and drinks
• A hotel room if you’re stuck overnight
• Transportation to and from the hotel
• Two free phone calls, emails, or faxes

If you’re delayed for a long time or your flight is cancelled, you might also receive:

• A refund
• An alternative flight
• Compensation to make up for the inconvenience

Remember to inquire with airline staff about these things if your plans change. They are obligated to inform you about your rights when there’s a significant delay or cancellation.

TAROM Flight Delay Compensation

Delays with flights from TAROM can be very frustrating. However there’s a silver lining: if you’re stuck waiting for more than three hours because of the airline’s fault, you might be able to get some compensation.

Regulations in the UK and EU are on your side. You could get up to €600 per person. What matters is when you arrive, not when you depart. So monitor your arrival time if you want to seek flight delay compensation.

The amount you receive depends on your flight distance. A short flight won’t yield as much as a longer flight, even if they’re both delayed equally.

Want to know exactly how much you could get? Take a look at the table below to see the potential reimbursement amounts:

Less than 3 hours	Between 3-4 hours	Over 4 hours	Distance
€0	€250	€250	All flights up to 1500 km
€0	€400	€400	All flights between 1500 km and 3500 km
€0	€400	€400	All intra-EU flights over 3500 km
€0	€300	€600	All non-EU flights over 3500 km

TAROM Flight Cancellation Compensation

Europe has laws to protect you if your flight is cancelled. Here’s the important information:

If your flight is cancelled less than two weeks before your planned travel date, you may be entitled to compensation up to €600. But keep in mind – the airline doesn’t have to pay if they offer you an alternative flight that doesn’t significantly disrupt your travel.

The carrier can bypass compensation if they arrange a replacement flight that meets the following conditions:

Advance Notice	Re-routing Requirements
14 Days	None
7 – 13 Days	Alternative flight departing no more than 2 hours before and arriving less than 4 hours after the original flight
Less than 7 Days	Alternative flight departing no more than 1 hour before and arriving less than 2 hours after the original flight

If you agree to take a different flight from the airline, you’re still eligible for compensation. What matters most is when you reach your final destination.

The amount you could receive depends on a couple of points:

1. The distance of your flight
2. How late you arrive

Therefore, even if the new flight doesn’t get there on time, you may still receive some compensation.

Check out the table below to understand better:

Under 2 hours	2-3 hours	3-4 hours	Over 4 hours	Never arrived	Distance
€125	€250	€250	€250	€250	All flights 1,500 km or less
€200	€200	€400	€400	€400	Internal EU flights over 1,500 km
€200	€200	€400	€400	€400	Non-internal EU flights 1,500 km- 3,500 km
€300	€300	€300	€600	€600	Non-internal EU flights over 3,500 km

The airline might not have to compensate you if they can provide transportation to your destination, close to the original schedule. Even if you arrive shortly after the scheduled time, you might not be entitled to flight cancellation compensation.

Which TAROM Flights are Covered by EU261?

The air passenger protection regulations of the European Union are comprehensive in scope. They cover all flights departing from an airport within an EU country and every flight landing at a European Union member state airport provided the airline is based in the EU.

Itinerary	Covered by EU 261
Flights departing EU airports	✅ Covered
Flights arriving at EU airports	✅ Covered

These regulations also cover airlines from Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland. This means if you’re traveling with any airline within, to, or from Europe, you most likely have these rights. It’s helpful to understand these regulations – they’re there to help you if problems occur with your flight. They ensure you’re not abandoned when your travel plans fall through.

When You Are Not Entitled to Compensation

TAROM isn’t necessarily at fault when flights are delayed or cancelled. At times, events occur that the airline has no control over, like extreme weather or unexpected problems.

For example, if there’s an abrupt major weather event, an airport emergency, or air traffic controllers go on strike, TAROM isn’t responsible. These are called “extraordinary circumstances” that the airline has no control over.

When these situations occur, you probably won’t get any compensation. The airline isn’t viewed as doing anything wrong when these unexpected issues come up.
