🏢 Terminal Information
Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport operates a single terminal complex with two parallel corridors: one for departures and one for arrivals, feeding several finger piers. Schengen and non-Schengen flows are separated airside, with a central departures hall serving all airlines before passengers branch to the respective gates.
Walking times are moderate—security sits at the head of the departures corridor, and most gates are reachable within 8–12 minutes; the most distant non-Schengen gates can take up to 15 minutes with moving walkways covering part of the route. Step-free access via elevators mirrors these timings for wheelchair users.
Security screening is centralized with dedicated Fast Track for premium and EU/EEA passengers; typical waits hover around 10–20 minutes, though early-morning flights to Western Europe can cause longer queues. Passport control sits immediately after security for non-Schengen departures and before baggage claim for arrivals, supplemented by eGates for eligible travelers.
Immigration and customs for non-Schengen arrivals occur in the lower-level arrivals corridor with green/red channels; Schengen arrivals typically bypass immigration and proceed straight to baggage claim. Transfer passengers switching between Schengen and non-Schengen zones must pass through passport control and re-clear security if they exit the sterile area.
Amenities include the TAROM Business Lounge near Gate 3, several contract lounges near the non-Schengen gates, and dining ranging from Romanian bakeries to international fast food. Family rooms and baby-changing stations are placed near Gates 1–4 and 20–24, play corners sit in the Schengen pier, and the terminal offers accessible restrooms, ramps, and elevators throughout.
