    Planes: 737-700 & ATR 72-600
    Seats: 6F & 4A
    Flights: RO211 & RO262
    Join me an an adventure from Istanbul (IST) to Belgrade (BEG) with Tarom, the national airline of Romania! Tarom doesn't seem to get much attention on TH-cam, despite the fact that it's the flag carrier for a European country, so I went a little out of my way to check them out. This video will cover a flight I took aboard their aging 737-700 from Istanbul to Bucharest (OTP) and then a second flight on their ATR 72-600 to Belgrade. All of these flights were in Economy and shout out to the crews on both flights, who did a nice job.
    Make sure to check out my second channel, NYC Flyer Plus, for the unedited takeoff / landing footage from these flights.

    Flew TAROM from London to Bucharest. The ticket on British was 3 times more!! So I flew TAROM. They even served a tiny hot meal. British you pay. That was 6 years ago. You said you pay now. Crews were very reserved. The only negative was that the toilet seat was so old it was yellow. They used to fly to New York. Otherwise everything was fine.

    Dejo este comentario no porque soy Rumano,lo dejo porque me gusto tú video
    Tarom para mi que vivo en Madrid España es una de las mejores aerolíneas que he viajado
    El trato de la tripulacion es muy buena y son bastante atentos con los pasajeros
    Calidad precio creo que supera la mayoría de las aerolíneas europeas

    The only reason why Tarom is considered the "flag carrier" is because they are the only ones left on the market now that Blue Air is bankrupt. Otherwise nothing else except maybe for historical reasons, would qualify them for this title. With a tiny aging fleet, no long haul flights, they are not that different from a budget airliner .I only flew Tarom twice and it was not at all a pleasant experience. In one of the flights I guess the pilot approached the landing with a higher speed than he should and he had to use the hard break(literally the seat heads moved when he did it). The second flight was eventless but the service was average. Also ,while onboard, you do feel the age of their fleet.

    • @alexandrumih
      @alexandrumih ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You cannot land with a high speed, because the plane won't land. I guess the reason for the hard braking was the will to exit the runway on a certain taxiway, thus reducing the taxi time.

    What you expectation for 45 min flight ? If the aircraft is clean then this is most important ! I don’t look any reviews on line as people only put when is negative experience hardly when is positive !
    For me Tarom is just standard euro Arline

      You can take the same flight with Turkish Airlines for almost the same price and the overall experience would be significantly better.

      @@nycflyertravel Sure definitely ! I had very negative experience with Turkish Arline ! They cancel my flight from Morocco to Warsaw without notification ! No explosion ! It was so difficult to contact them as phone centre is in Maldive so have to buy extra ticket ! I receive apology letter but never get refund of money ! This not mean I would never fly with them ! I will ! But just tell you negative experience can happen in any Arline 😁
