How do I decide? Some tips and tricks from our experience

Travel duration

Time is also an important factor. An earlier departure may allow you to see a beautiful sunset or relax before an important event.

Here the quicker option is definitely the Flight from TAROM: you will get to Bucharest in just 1h 15m.

Comfort makes all the difference

You should always take into account what your personal travelling preferences are. Is one hand luggage enough, or are you trasporting more? Would you like to have a snack during the journey? Can you relax in a busy compartment, or do you need space for yourself? Even among the same mode of transportation, different companies will offer you varying levels of comfort and amenities.

Save money with deals, and always compare
