Coping with flight issues can be quite upsetting. However, the good news is that the European Union has regulations to help travelers when things go wrong. If you’re flying in the EU, it’s wise to be aware of these regulations. They can come in handy if your flight goes off course.

Understanding your rights 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

When you’re flying in the European Union, rest assured that there’s help available in the case of a flight disruption. EU laws ensure airlines look after their passengers when things go wrong.

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

  • Refreshments and snacks
  • Accommodation 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 be entitled to:

  • A refund
  • A different flight option
  • Compensation to make up for the inconvenience

Remember to ask airline workers about these entitlements if your plans change. They have to tell you about your rights when there’s a significant delay or cancellation.

TAROM Flight Delay Compensation

Flight delays from TAROM can be really annoying. However there’s a silver lining: if you’re delayed for more than three hours due to the airline’s fault, you might be able to get some compensation.

Laws in the UK and EU are on your side. You could receive up to €600 per person. What is important is when you arrive, not when you depart. So pay attention to your arrival time if you want to seek flight delay compensation.

How much you get depends on the length of your journey. A short flight won’t get you as much money as a longer flight, even if they’re both delayed equally.

Curious about exactly how much you could get? Take a look at the table below to see how much money you might get:

Less than 3 hoursBetween 3-4 hoursOver 4 hoursDistance
€0€250€250All flights up to 1500 km
€0€400€400All flights between 1500 km and 3500 km
€0€400€400All intra-EU flights over 3500 km
€0€300€600All non-EU flights over 3500 km

TAROM Flight Cancellation Compensation

The European Union has laws to protect you in case of flight cancellation. Here’s what you should know:

In the event of a flight cancellation within two weeks of your scheduled departure, you could be eligible for compensation of up to €600. But there’s a catch – the airline doesn’t have to pay if they can get you on another flight that doesn’t mess up your plans too much.

The airline may not need to compensate you if they offer you a new flight that meets the following conditions:

Advance NoticeRe-routing Requirements
14 DaysNone
7 – 13 DaysAlternative flight departing no more than 2 hours before and arriving less than 4 hours after the original flight
Less than 7 DaysAlternative flight departing no more than 1 hour before and arriving less than 2 hours after the original flight

If you accept another flight from the airline, you’re still eligible for compensation. What matters most is your arrival time at your destination.

The amount you could receive depends on two factors:

  1. The distance of your flight
  2. The delay in your arrival

So, even if you arrive later than planned, you may still receive some compensation.

Check out the table below to understand better:

Under 2 hours2-3 hours3-4 hoursOver 4 hoursNever arrivedDistance
€125€250€250€250€250All flights 1,500 km or less
€200€200€400€400€400Internal EU flights over 1,500 km
€200€200€400€400€400Non-internal EU flights 1,500 km- 3,500 km
€300€300€300€600€600Non-internal EU flights over 3,500 km

The airline may not need to compensate you if they can provide transportation to your destination, close to the original schedule. Even with a slight delay, you might not be entitled to flight cancellation compensation.

How to Claim Compensation from TAROM

It’s crucial to be aware of how to claim the compensation you’re entitled to under EU Regulation 261/2004. Here’s what you need to do:

  • Complete this form. You’ll need to provide details like your flight number, date, and the problem you faced.
  • Let our experts help you. Once you submit the form, our team will take over. We are well-versed in the EU laws well and will do our best to get you your compensation. You only incur a fee if we win your case.

Remember that it is your right as a passenger to claim compensation for a delayed or cancelled flight. Regardless of whether your flight was delayed due to operational issues or technical difficulties, if it was not caused by extraordinary circumstances like severe weather or air traffic control decisions, you have a right to compensation.

Which TAROM Flights are Covered by EU261?

The air passenger protection regulations of the European Union are comprehensive in scope. They apply to all flights departing from an airport within an EU country and to all flights arriving at an airport in an EU member state when an EU-based airline operates the flight.

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

These laws also apply to airlines from Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland. This means if you’re traveling with any airline to, within, or from Europe, you most likely have these rights. It’s good to understand these regulations – they’re in place to help you if something goes wrong 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 always at fault when flights are delayed or cancelled. Occasionally, events occur that the airline is powerless against, like really bad weather or unforeseen issues.

For instance, if there’s an abrupt major weather event, an urgent situation at the airport, or a strike by air traffic controllers, TAROM cannot be held accountable. These are called “extraordinary circumstances” that the airline has no control over.

When these things happen, you probably won’t get any compensation. The airline isn’t seen as doing anything wrong when these unforeseen difficulties arise.
