Otopeni is Bucharest's International airport. I been there a few times anbd every times its just getting better. The airport is modern and very effective. It has a completely new departures hall and also the arrivels hall had big renovations at the last years. There is a big parking space that costs about 20000 lei for half hour and 40000 for an hour. It is situted 18 km from Bucharests center on Bucharest-Ploiesti highway. there is an agip gas station just near it and also the Sky Gate hotel.
There are a lot of destenations that arrive and go out from Otopeni:
-Almost all european capitals + other cities especially in Germany and Italy.
-The Middle east.
-Flights to America and Asia are more rare but you can use also connecting flifhts for it.
When you arrive to Otopeni it will take you around 20-30 to get out to the Main hall where you find a small bar, information desk, ATM, public Phone (telecard can be boght in the information desk), exchange, city shuttle and a lot of rent a car companies including Hertz, Avis, Europcar and more.
To get to the city you can use Taxi (set the price at the beginning and that let the driver ripp you of, pay no more then 15 dollars). You also can use the bus or the city shuttle that are much more cheaper.
When you will leave Bucharest it will be, how can i say... a bit dull... the check in is going pretty fast but the Duty Free is small and overpriced with no interesting stuff to buy.
I hope that you will have the luck (like me) to fly over Bucharest by night... you will have am amazing view of all the city lighted up. Leave a Comment

This old Bucharest airport is located closer to the city than Otopeni airport. It’s rather small and hasn’t got finger docks. You will be transported by bus to and from your plane. There are several low budget airlines flying here like Wizzair, Germanwings etc. The check in for Wizzair is where the Germanwings signs are.
In the whole airport I couldn’t buy a cup of tea, only coffee. There are 3 places but none had it ie the one bar in the middle of the room did have tea bags but no hot water apparently. I think he was just too lazy as he was chatting with a girl friend. You will have to give all your drinking bottle away before the x-ray but the good news is that you can buy new soft drinks in the duty free shop. And the soft drinks are one of the only things that you can pay in RON, all the alcohol and cigarettes etc. can only be paid in Euro. Although it’s cheaper to pay in Euro for the soft drinks than paying in RON.
When we left, the gents toilets were blocked, so all the men used the ladies which can be a bit tricky as you cannot lock some of the doors. There are more toilets once you are through the x-ray.
PS: You are not allowed to photograph the airport, but we only saw the sign near the big road when leaving the airport area. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Otopeni is situated at 16 km north from the centre of Bucharest. The best access way from airport to town is the bus. There is regular transport from Otopeni towards the centre of the city. Buses circulate every 30 up to 60 minutes, around the clock. They stop in every major square, and in front of the TAROM building in the centre. It is here that one can find more information or take another cab to the final destination. Avoid airport cab drivers in the airport, as they are irritated, drive carelessly and usually charge much more than the real cost of a trip to town. You can also rent a car. Avis, Europcar, Hertz and other small firms have offices within the airport, in the centre and at some of the big hotels in town. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

The international airport is Bucharest is not very large and is easy to navigate. We had someone pick us up at the airport so we were spared the agony of trying to locate a bus or taxi. I understand that Flytaxi has a monopoly on taxi fares from the airport and that they charge at least double the normal rate. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Most likely, this is where you'll first set foot on Romanian ground.
Otopeni Henri Coanda Airport hosts both international and internal flights, while low-cost flights land and depart from Baneasa Airport.
Hop in a Fly Tax or in the 783 bus (see next tip) and you're on your way to meet Bucharest.
FAQ:
1. Can I exchange money at the airport?
Yes, you can but the fairs are lower than in the city so I would advise you to exchange only about 25 euros, to pay for the taxi.
2. How to arrive downtown (Piata Victoriei - Victory Square, Piata Romana - Roman Square, Piata Universitatii - University Square)?
The easiest and most simple way is to take the 783 bus from the ground floor of the airport.

 To/from Henri Coanda
Airport by codrutz
The main gate for international travels is in Otopeni .. a small town near Bucharest (arround 10km) .. where the Henri Coanda Bucharest International Airport is.
When arriving by plane at Henri Coanda Airport, you have the following choices to reach dowtown Bucharest:
BUS
Express 783 line connects the airport to downtown Bucharest in aprox. 40 minutes
Schedule:
Monday - Friday 5:30 - 23:40 (at every 15 min)
Saturday, Sunday, Legal Holidays 5:30 - 23:30 (at every 30 min)
TAXI
Available right in front of the ARRIVALS.
Lately there is only one taxi company serving the airport - FLY TAXI - with yellowish Peugeot Partner vehicles.
A ride to the center of Bucharest should cost between RON 25 and 30 (EUR 6-8). If your destination is more to the south it might go over 30 lei (8 euros).
Most of the foreigners find this unbelievable cheap .. and they will this also in other departments .. because romanian people has still a pretty low level of income. Leave a Comment
