Tarom Romanian Airlines Pet Policy
Tarom Romanain Airlines is pet friendly and serves destinations in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. However, no pets are allowed on flights into the UK.
IN CABIN TRAVEL: FLY WITH A SMALL DOG OR CAT
If your dog or cat meets the requirements listed in Tarom Romanian Airlines pet policy to travel in-cabin,
you will need an approved airline pet carrier. If carriers are rigid, the maximum
size is 42x30x21 cm. (16.5x11.8x8.3 in.)
Pet and carrier may not weigh more than 5 kg (11 pounds). One pet per passenger.
You must notify Tarom Romanian Air Airlines by phone that you are traveling with a pet when you make your reservations. This cannot be done online.
CHECKED BAGGAGE OR CARGO TRAVEL: FLY WITH A LARGER DOG OR
CAT OR OTHER ANIMAL
If your pet is too large to fit
under the seat, it is an animal other than a dog or cat, or if it
is a very long flight, Tarom Romanian Air may transport your pet in the cargo section of the aircraft according to its regulations.
This section of the cargo department has the same temperature and pressure as the passenger cabin. No animals are allowed in the cargo hold of Airbus A318 planes.
TIP: Be sure to tell the Captain of the aircraft that your pet is
flying in the cargo hold so that they can be sure to keep the temperature at the proper level. Find more tips
on airline pet travel in cargo.

If your pet is traveling in the cargo section, whether through the cargo department or
as checked baggage, it must be in a
pet crate that is IATA compliant.
Learn more about IATA compliant
pet crates. We also suggest that you consider
crate hardware for your pet's crate
as more airlines are requiring it. Once you receive your crate, you will need to acclimate your dog or cat to it before traveling. Our guide for preparing
your pet and its crate for travel is helpful, especially for first time pet
travelers. Download Preparing Your Pet and Its Crate for Travel.
HEALTH CERTIFICATE
Many airlines require a health certificate
indicating that the pet is healthy enough for travel, is free of diseases communicable
to humans and has been properly vaccinated, especially when traveling in the
cargo section of the aircraft. A Health Certificate completed by your
veterinarian within 10 days of travel is required by Tarom Airlines when your pet is
traveling as manifest cargo.
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
If you are traveling to another country, Tarom Romanian Air will want to see
that you have the proper documents to enter that country with your
pet. Most countries have their own version of a Veterinary
Certificate. In addition, some countries require an Import Permit. Find
pet passport forms and instructions
in the Pet Travel Store.
HOT AND COLD WEATHER RESTRICTIONS
When runway temperatures are above 84F (29C) degrees at the departure
airport, Tarom Romanian Air may refuse to board your pet as cargo
or checked baggage. When the weather is very
cold with a runway temperature below 45F (7C) degrees at the time of
departure, Tarom Romanian Air may require what is called an
Acclimation Certificate. Learn more about the pet travel airline temperature restrictions.
