Yes, on Every Route They Fly, on Laters.com
Yes. Book TAROM on Laters.com, pick a Klarna payment plan inside the checkout, and get the e-ticket straight away on any route TAROM flies, from a punctual, SkyTeam-affiliated carrier. The plan sits on top of the booking, not inside the airline's own system, so it works the same way across the entire network.
Paying later is a payment method at the Laters.com checkout, not something TAROM has to switch on, which is why it works on every route we ticket. Search the route, choose a provider on the payment screen, pick a plan, and the e-ticket arrives as soon as payment is approved. Which plans you see is set by the country you book from, not by the airline you fly, so checkout shows only the plans your fare qualifies for. There is nothing to work out in advance.
An instalment plan leaves the fare alone, and the baggage allowance, and the seat, and what the fare class earns in TAROM's own loyalty programme. You fly as TAROM's own passenger on TAROM's own fare rules, and only the paying is spread. Interest-free instalment plans run a soft eligibility check that does not affect a credit score, interest-bearing monthly financing runs a full credit check, and approval is never guaranteed on either. If a plan isn't for you, the same checkout takes full payment by card or crypto instead.
Providers are the Europe list at the Laters.com checkout; your booking shows the ones offered.
Split the fare on TAROM flights at the Laters.com checkout with the pay-later providers for Europe. Plans and approval depend on the provider and your booking; Laters.com charges no booking fees or payment surcharges.

Illustrative only. The figures above are computed from the fare you set: plain division for the interest-free plans, and each plan's own illustrative rate over its stated term for monthly financing. They are not an offer, a quote, or a prediction of what you will be given. Laters.com is not the lender and takes no part in the decision: which plans appear, the instalment amounts, any interest and fees, and whether you are eligible at all are determined by the provider alone, and depend on a credit or eligibility assessment, your country and your basket. The only way to see your real plans is to choose a provider at checkout, at which point that provider, not Laters.com, approves or declines the purchase. All plans, rates, fees and terms are estimates only and subject to approval and to change.
Booking direct with the airline is a reasonable choice if you're paying by card in full. But that checkout only shows you TAROM, and only its own way to pay. Laters.com searches every airline we sell in one place, and lets you pick from a range of pay-later plans at checkout. Either way you get the same TAROM ticket, issued under TAROM's own fare rules, with identical baggage allowance, seat selection and loyalty earning. Splitting the cost changes nothing about what you fly.

Verdicts compare the feature in each row. The crypto, wallet and provider rows compare the published catalogues; checkout shows your actual options at the time of booking. TAROM's own site (tarom.ro) returned a server error (HTTP 803) on every fetch attempt during this review (13-14 October 2026) rather than a readable page, so its payment-page claims are drawn from a cached search-engine snippet of TAROM's online-booking help page and should be re-verified once the site is reachable again.

Our editorial rating, out of 10, for what an airline is actually like to fly once you have booked it.
Every airline we ticket is scored on the same 4 measures, so you can compare them like for like before you book. See the full methodology See all airline scores →
Scored by the Laters.com editorial team from the airline’s own published specifications and named third-party measurements. No airline pays to be rated, no placement is sold, and this page contains no affiliate links.
TAROM scores 6.8 out of 10: the plain average of the measures below, rounded to one decimal. Each measure is an editorial assessment of the published facts.
4 measures, scored the same way for every airline we ticket.
Reliability & operations9/10
An on-time rate of 74.91% in September 2026 points to a solidly run short-haul operation. TAROM's current fleet size and average age have not been independently verified to a single clean source, so no fleet-age figure is cited here.
Comfort & experience7/10
Economy seat pitch on TAROM's Boeing 737-800 is 30 inches with 17 inches of width, tight for a mainline short-haul cabin. No business-class pitch figure has been independently verified.
Sources: seatmaps.com, TAROM 737-800
Value & network6/10
TAROM's network centres on its Henri Coanda International Airport (OTP) hub in Bucharest, alongside secondary bases at Iasi, Cluj-Napoca, Timisoara and Oradea; route and destination counts have not been independently verified to a single current figure, so none is cited here, but the network is compact relative to its larger European peers.

Professional airline rating5/10
Skytrax currently certifies TAROM as a 3-Star Airline for the quality of its airport and onboard product and staff service, a mid-tier rating consistent with its European short-haul peer group.

Baggage, fees, miles, refunds and eligibility
Everything about booking TAROM flights on Laters.com and splitting the fare, plus the airline’s own rules that decide what you get.
Yes. TAROM (RO) fares booked through Laters.com can be split into instalments through one of Laters' 100+ payment options rather than paid in full at checkout. This applies to routes across TAROM's network, including its OTP-SCV and OTP-IAS pairs.
No, a payment plan only changes how you pay Laters.com, not TAROM's own fare rules. Your booking stays governed by TAROM's Travelling Terms and Conditions, the same terms that apply to any fare on tarom.ro.
Laters manages the payment plan and TAROM manages the flight, so a missed instalment is a credit matter with Laters and does not automatically cancel your TAROM seat. As with any credit product, missed payments can still affect your standing with the lender, so keep instalments on schedule.
TAROM's own reporting puts 2025 on-time performance at 82.24% (19,240 of 23,396 flights, within a 15-minute window), more than six points above the European average of 76.1%. That track record is worth weighing if you're committing to instalments on a flight booked well in advance.
If TAROM cancels a flight, refund handling follows TAROM's own Travelling Terms and Conditions rather than a generic airline policy. Any amount already paid through your Laters instalment plan would be treated according to those same TAROM terms once a refund is processed.
On TAROM's Boeing 737-800, economy seat pitch is 30 inches with 17 inches of width. TAROM has not published a separate, independently verified business-class pitch figure, so we won't state one here.
Yes, TAROM offers online check-in, so a booking made through Laters and paid off in instalments is checked in the same way as any other TAROM ticket. Check-in itself is managed by TAROM, separate from your Laters payment schedule.
TAROM's carry-on allowance is sized at 55x40x20 cm. This limit applies regardless of whether the fare was paid up front or split into instalments through Laters.
It can. Buy now, pay later products are a form of credit, and how a missed or late instalment is reported depends on the specific plan and lender you choose at Laters checkout. Review the terms of your chosen plan before booking your TAROM flight.
TAROM scores 6.8 out of 10 on Laters' tracked airline quality score, reflecting strong punctuality (82.24% on-time in 2025) and Skytrax's 3-Star certification, offset by a compact route network. That figure is useful context before committing to a multi-instalment plan.
Founding year · On-time performance · Skytrax · Hub airport
TAROM is Romania's national carrier, flying under the IATA code RO. It has been a full member of the SkyTeam alliance since 25 June 2010, and Skytrax currently certifies it as a 3-Star Airline for its onboard product, airport service and staff service. Its main hub is Henri Coanda International Airport (OTP) in Bucharest.
Booking TAROM through Laters.com and paying in instalments doesn't change what you fly. The fare is the same one you'd pay by card, the baggage allowance is whatever the fare you pick includes, and any loyalty points earned follow that fare class, not the payment method. Your ticket is issued on TAROM's own conditions of carriage, so you travel as a normal TAROM passenger and simply spread the cost over time instead of paying it all upfront.
That spreading is a form of credit, and it's worth treating it that way. Some plans carry no interest, others do, a soft credit check may apply depending on the plan, and there's an upper limit on how much of a fare you can split. Miss an instalment and there are consequences with the provider handling the plan, so only commit to a schedule you're confident you can keep.
There's no confirmed detail here on which aircraft types TAROM operates or how they're split between short-haul and long-haul flying, so we're not going to list types or a fleet count that hasn't been verified. The same goes for punctuality: without a published figure from a body that measured it, and for a stated period, we won't put a percentage next to TAROM's name. Cancellation rate and average fleet age are left out for the same reason, not because they don't matter, but because neither has a confirmed figure here. Figures like these move as aircraft are delivered or retired, so when they are confirmed we'll date them and update this page rather than let a stale number sit here unchecked.
