Question 1

Does Henri Coandă have more than one terminal?

Accepted Answer

Two, but not split by airline: the Departures Terminal and the Arrivals Terminal are the same complex divided by flow, connected since October 2005 by an internal corridor. Every airline uses both — you check in and board from Departures, and you land, clear baggage and customs, and meet your taxi at Arrivals.

Question 2

What is the fastest way from the airport into central Bucharest?

Accepted Answer

A train to Gara de Nord (Bucharest North Railway Station), running every 40 minutes around the clock — the trip takes about 20 minutes. The 100 Express bus is the other fast option, stopping right outside both terminals every 15 minutes by day and every 30 at night; a 90-minute ticket costs 3 lei, payable by contactless card, STB card or SMS.

Question 3

How do I get a taxi at Henri Coandă?

Accepted Answer

Authorised taxis (2.29–3.50 lei/km) queue at ranks by the terminal exit and on the ground floor of the Arrivals Terminal — no booking needed, they pick up in arrival order. To get a fixed fare and a car assigned in advance, use the touch-screen ordering terminals in the Arrivals Terminal’s public area, 1st floor, south side: they print a ticket with the plate number, estimated arrival time and fare before you head outside.

Question 4

Where do I go if I lost something at the airport?

Accepted Answer

Lost & Found offices sit in the baggage claim area of the Arrivals Terminal — TAROM’s own desk there operates non-stop. For anything left in the airport itself rather than on a flight, there’s a separate general Lost & Found line, staffed Monday to Friday, 09:00–15:00.

Question 5

Can I bring my pet through Henri Coandă?

Accepted Answer

Yes — tell your airline when you book, since the documents and fees depend on the carrier and destination. The Border Veterinary Sanitary Police Inspectorate keeps an office at the airport for the paperwork side of things.
