How does TAROM calculate extra baggage charges?

Charges are per piece in EUR and depend on the fare zone: Zone 1 (Romania domestic), Zone 2 (Europe and the Middle East), Zone 3 (worldwide). Extra checked baggage fares apply per travel direction or flight leg, and numeric, overweight and oversized charges are added together when more than one applies to the same piece.

Do partner-operated or codeshare flights have different baggage rules?

Yes. The excess rules apply only to flights operated by TAROM on its own aircraft; on codeshare flights the operating partner's rules may apply. If TAROM is the first operator on the route, its excess fees apply for the sectors where baggage is checked in, and other carriers may charge excess baggage as well.
