Etsi halvat lennot: TAROM

Plussat: as if we were at the beginning of aviation

Good airline, no entertainment

Plussat: Flight left and arrived on time

Miinukset: Food is mediocre and there is no in flight entertainment so thank God for Kindle!

Tarom is not great

Plussat: Not much

Miinukset: The flight left 1.5 hours late from Amsterdam. It was also frustrating that there were two gate changes! There was no inflight entertainment so good thing I had my kindle! Also the food sucked. I'm not sure what was in the sandwich but it was not great.

Over booked

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Everything flight was booked have to wait 5 hours for another flight

New-ish plane, MASSIVE delay, VERY old procedures

Plussat: The plane was fairly new and, for such a short route, quite big (but I guess that was just due to the increased number of passengers, as almost all of the 180 seats were booked)

Miinukset: Almost 3.5h delay, no reason given, a mere croissant offered during waiting time, no transparency about additional delays (it was just 2.5h, initially). Also, despite the aircraft being newer than most Tarom planes, it was cramped, with very little leg room, very cheap trays and no storage space on the back of the seats in front. No warm beverages (no coffee, no tea!!). Will seek compensation for the delay.

inspecting the food

Plussat: That I didn't get poisoned.

Miinukset: That I couldn't bring myself to test the sandwich for fear of poisoning. You should have seen how many people handed their sandwich back to the stewardess. What happens to those sandwiches? Do they attempt to hand the same ones back on later flights? I think they do. Anyway, take a close look at those sandwiches they give you before you bite into one.

Your food made me ill

Plussat: That I didn't die in Chisinau

Miinukset: Spending the entire time I was in Chisinau at the airport vomiting by some out building on the edge of the property. TAROM gave me food that made me sick. On the flight back, a bunch of people were handing those sandwiches back to the stewardesses after looking at them. Now I know why. I went to 25 countries on this trip, and this was low-light number either A1 or A2, depending on how the other thing shakes our financially. I had 3 flights on TAROM, and only one of them sickened me to the extent that I had to throw up.

Really bad service

Plussat: For the first time, in many years, cabin crew apologized for delay

Miinukset: Flight delayed, cofee= prepare yourself a nescoffee (even at business class

Plussat: Very nice price

Miinukset: Delay in flight, delay in lagguage delivery

Miinukset: The flight was 1 hour late to depart

Miinukset: The airline lost my checked bag

Plussat: short time flight

Miinukset: no entertainment/poor food

Miinukset: Because I booked tickets with baggage included, and when I was at the airport I had to pay again 50 euro per suitcase. Who will pay for this mistake?

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Didn’t leave on time. Food was disgusting. Loud, not comfortable. Last time with Tarom

Miinukset: 1h and 30 minutes late

Good

Plussat: Boarding was good, flight and landing

Miinukset: Had to go through security check in Istanbul

Plussat: crew

Miinukset: no entertainment

Lost stroller

Miinukset: They last my brand new stroller even though it was gate checked with a bag and tags. I was told they have no information and can’t help me.

No veggie options

Plussat: The employees were nice.

Miinukset: Checkin process moved very slow and we had to run though security check The people at the checkin counter did not know all the bluecard rules and had to go in the back to verify my husband's legal travel docs and that added even more delay for us We got into the plane with delay and then we sat on the runway for a long time All this we could have survived if we could have had food, but they had no vegetarian sandwich options so the only available thing was a tiny strawberry cake

Disappointing.

Plussat: The one good thing was that they delivered me and my luggage safe and sound to the destination.

Miinukset: Delayed boarding, very uncomfortable and extremely little legroom, no blanket/pillow, dirty/smelly bathroom, ran out of almost all supplies in the bathroom. Entertainment - nonexistent. I would not choose this airline if it weren't for the price.

Mayhem at check-in

Miinukset: Several Tarom flights leaving at the same time in the morning- total lack of basic organization: lines for all types of travelers (bag drop and check-in) mixed in. Result: long wait times, quarrels among passengers, all frustrated.

Miinukset: Flight was 1h20 minutes late.

Bags not put on plane. Delayed

Plussat: Received a banana with my meal

Miinukset: I was one of about 50 passengers who arrived in Bucharest to discover their bags had not been put on the flight. Due to spending over an hour in the airport sorting this out, and the flight being highly delayed, I missed my connecting flight.

Plussat: Quick and easy to board.

Miinukset: They asked us to board early but didn’t turn the a/c on. No entertainment and the on board wifi was limited to their intranet. Kind of pointless.

Plussat: Comfy seats

Miinukset: Both flights were on time!!! Comfy economy seats
