Traveller Comments....
"I was nervous about sleeping here as I spoke no Romanian and had never spent the night at an airport. But, when I arrived there were probably 20 others doing the same, so that made me feel better." - robbo79

Because I had an early flight to Amsterdam (6.40am, check in 4.40am), I decided to spend the night at Bucharest Airport. I had come from Bulgaria and didn't want to buy Rumenian currency for just one day. That's why, I went straight to the airport where I arrived around 6pm, facing 12 hours to kill! Although it's a non-smoking airport, no one seems to care and people where just having their cigarettes all over the place. On the ground floor, there is an information desk, a newsagent, a change office, a fast food restaurant and a bar, the latter staying open all night! Upstairs, there is a prayer room, another bar a self service restaurant (they serve pizzas) and a hairdressers. They all accept Euros and American Dollars on condition that they have enough change. Both floors have toilets which are pretty clean. There are armchairs with little tables attached to them. Heating is switched on at 8pm so you won't get cold. Cleaning happens at night so don't be surprised if suddenly a noisy vacuum cleaner awakens you. Not one moment did I feel unsafe though. I was a bit disappointed that they wouldn't let me (or anybody else) into the boarding area so there were quite a few people sleeping around, mainly on the ground floor. You are aloud into the boarding area two and a half hours before your flight. Shops in the boarding area start opening between 5 and 6am. There are a few nice looking gift shops, a newsagent/bookstore and a bar. To anyone thinking to spend the night at this airport, I would suggest to go to the first floor and try to make yourself comfortable on the armchairs. Enjoy your travels."
