Getting There

  

Although Untravelled Paths does not currently offer inclusive flights as part of our packages, the team will be more than happy to assist you with advice on bookings and logistics. The airlines detailed below fly directly to Bucharest from London, Manchester and Dublin airports. Bucharest has two airports, Baneasa and Otopeni, which are 5km apart. If booked well enough in advance, flights can cost less than the price of a train ticket from Manchester to London. In many cases, it is cheaper to purchase single flights from different airlines, which saves on cost and can also offer greater flexibility. If necessary, we can adapt your holiday package to coincide with your arrival and departure dates, offering extra nights in Bucharest or even a few days skiing in Poiana Brasov. 

Visit Flight Centre or call Suzanna or Alison where they can assist you on +44 (0)1225 444413. Please quote "Untravelled Paths" upon booking.
