FrWhat is TAROM policy with regard to hand baggage?
Any baggage taken in the passenger cabin represents hand baggage and is deposited in the baggage compartment above your seat. On TAROM flights, passengers may take on board one piece of hand baggage plus one personal item.
What is TAROM policy with regard to checked baggage?
On flights operated by TAROM, all passengers have a free checked baggage allowance, depending on the class of travel. In case the ticket itinerary contains TAROM flights in connection with flights operated by other airlines, the allowance and charges of the first operating carrier en route shall be applied for the checked sectors (passengers might be separately charged by other carriers participating en route).
Hand Baggage
Passengers are entitled to carry in the cabin one piece of hand baggage with a maximum size of 55 x 35 x 25 cm (length x width x depth). If you fly with an ATR aircraft, TAROM recommends taking a hand baggage with a maximum size of 35 x 30 x 20 cm.
Passengers can also take in the cabin, as hand luggage, one personal item: purse or briefcase, camera/video bag, laptop, or an object smaller or similar to the one piece of hand baggage. The total weight of your hand baggage (1 piece plus 1 personal item) must not exceed 10 kg.
Checked Baggage
Regardless of the class of travel, one standard piece of checked baggage has a weight of maximum 23 kg and dimensions of maximum 158 cm (height + width + length). The number of pieces included in the free baggage allowance depends on the class of travel, and extra allowance may be offered to certain categories of passengers:
- Economy Class – 1 standard piece.
- Business Class – 2 or 3 standard pieces, depending on route.
- SkyTeam Elite & Elite Plus – 1 extra standard piece.
- Sailors who paid dedicated rates – 1 extra standard piece only in Economy Class.
As an exception, the maximum weight allowed per piece is 30 kg, without any additional fee, for flights between Bucharest and Amman, Beirut or Dubai.
Extra Baggage
Pieces of baggage exceeding 32 kg and/or 158 cm require authorization from TAROM. The number of accepted pieces is limited depending on the aircraft type operating the flight, and prior arrangement with TAROM is required in case of excess:
- ATR 42 and ATR 72 – maximum 3 pieces per passenger.
- B737 and Airbus – maximum 10 pieces per passenger.
