ARRIVAL CHECKLISTBefore leaving Brașov-Ghimbav International Airport
Brașov-Ghimbav International Airport (GHV) is at Ghimbav outside Brașov and offers a comparatively short road journey to Poiana Brașov. It has no mainline railway station at the passenger terminal. RATBV’s A1 airport bus connects with Brașov, including the Livada Poștei and railway station corridor; line 20 serves Poiana Brașov from Livada Poștei. Check the current stops and connection rather than taking the airport bus all the way to the railway terminal by default. Poiana accommodation can still be some distance from the bus terminus or chosen lift. A direct pickup is useful for a late arrival, a family with ski cases or a property beyond the easy walking area.
- The climb from Brașov to Poiana can be slow in snow or on busy ski weekends. Verify the hotel address and parking. Do not assume airport buses wait for delayed flights or that the ski-area lifts are open after the last bus.
- Confirm the terminal, hotel address and ski luggage before booking.
- Keep enough time between landing and a fixed onward departure.
