Questions about OTP

Answers to the questions travelers ask most about Bucharest airport (OTP). See also the airport guide for general information.

How do I get to the centre of Bucharest by public transport?

You have two main options: the train, which connects the terminal with the central station Bucuresti Nord in 20–25 minutes (operating 24 hours every 40 minutes), and the 100 Express bus, which travels to Piata Unirii in the heart of the city in a journey of between 40 and 60 minutes.
Both applications operate legally. The meeting point with Uber and Bolt drivers is usually the upper level of the P1 car park (in front of the Arrivals sector). We recommend confirming the exact location through the in-app chat when requesting the ride.
Yes, the airport offers free and unlimited Wi-Fi access in all public and boarding areas. No complex registration is required to connect.
You can purchase Romanian SIM cards at newsstands (Relay) and convenience shops located in the connecting passage between the Departures and Arrivals sectors, as well as from automatic telecom vending machines.
No, currently Bucharest Airport does not provide luggage storage or left-luggage services for security reasons. You must remain with your belongings at all times.
If you forgot something in the terminal, you should go to the Lost and Found office located in the baggage reclaim area. If the item was left on board an aircraft, you must contact your airline’s ground handling agent directly.
Yes, there are currency exchange offices operating 24 hours a day and branches of BRD and Western Union. There are also numerous cash machines distributed throughout the terminal to withdraw local currency.
Yes, there is a pharmacy located in the corridor connecting the Departures and Arrivals areas. It is easily accessible to all passengers before passing through the security checkpoints.
