What to know about TAROM carry-on rules

• TAROM (Romania) flies mostly out of OTP; Italy, France, Germany, Spain and Greece are among its key markets.
• Among the 43 verified airlines from Europe, TAROM has the 25th largest cabin bag allowance; the strictest is Loganair (40×35×18 cm).
• In volume terms the TAROM cabin bag reaches about 44 L; 116 of the 170 airlines with published sides allow a bigger box.
• With a total size of 115 cm (45.3 in), the TAROM cabin bag is larger than 19% of the 189 verified airlines that include a measured cabin bag in their standard fare (rank 50 of 189, largest first).
• The average cabin bag of the 43 verified carriers from Europe adds up to 116.7 cm (45.9 in); TAROM's limit is 1.7 cm (0.7 in) less than that.
• TAROM is 4th of 15 SkyTeam members by total cabin bag size (Saudia is the most generous, Delta Air Lines the strictest).
• On TAROM, a standard US carry-on of 22 × 14 × 9 in (55.9 × 35.6 × 22.9 cm) is 2.9 cm (1.1 in) too big on the depth (and 1 other limit); the limit is 55×40×20 cm.
• A typical European cabin case of 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in) matches the limit exactly (0 cm margin) when measured against TAROM's 55×40×20 cm.
• Of 177 verified airlines with a published cabin weight limit, 53 allow more than TAROM's 8 kg (17.6 lb) for both bags together and 84 allow less.
• The 8 kg (17.6 lb) limit on every fare of TAROM covers the personal item and the cabin bag together, not each bag.
• Besides the 55×40×20 cm sides, TAROM caps the sum of length, width and height at 115 cm.
• Exceptions noted on the official TAROM page: On TAROM's ATR 72 turboprops, the hand baggage limit is much smaller than on its Boeing jets. (official text: “ATR 72 Aircraft Dimensions: 35 x 30 x 20 cm (length x width x height). Maximum 85cm / 33.46in.”)

Our notes on TAROM

TAROM's hand baggage rule changes sharply with the aircraft. On Boeing aircraft, the bag may measure 55 × 40 × 20 cm, up to 115 cm in total. On the ATR 72 turboprops, the limit is 35 × 30 × 20 cm, a total of 85 cm.

In both cases, the weight is 8 kg (18 lb) in total, including the cabin bag and a personal item such as a purse or briefcase. A standard cabin case that is fine on a Boeing flight from Bucharest will have to be checked on an ATR 72 flight, so check the aircraft for each leg.

TAROM carry-on questions

Does TAROM have a weight limit for carry-on bags?

Yes. On every fare, TAROM sets 8 kg (17.6 lb) for both bags together.

Will a 55 × 40 × 20 cm carry-on fit TAROM's limit?

Yes: against TAROM's 55×40×20 cm limit, a hard 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in) case matches the limit exactly (0 cm margin).
