Preparing for your departure from Henri Coandă International Airport means leaving from one of Europe’s increasingly important air transport hubs, located just 16.5km from Bucharest city centre. Getting to the airport is straightforward, as public transport links are excellent. You can easily catch a train from the station about a kilometre from the main terminal, or take a bus from the city centre, with travel times typically ranging from 30 to 60 minutes. Taxis are also readily available, taking approximately 20 to 40 minutes depending on traffic conditions. If you are driving, short-term parking is situated near the terminals, and long-stay facilities are connected via a shuttle service.
Upon arrival, please proceed to the Departures Hall in the main terminal building.

Once through, you will find yourself in the departures section, split by a shop-lined walkway. You can take advantage of free Wi-Fi, and there are numerous public telephones available. For dining, enjoy substantial restaurant meals or light bites and snacks. Shops offer a wide selection of goods, including high-quality leather items. You can relax in one of the several passenger lounge areas or visit the public viewing gallery before boarding.
