Bucharest Henri Coandă Airport (OTP), also known as Otopeni, is north of Bucharest and is distinct from Băneasa Airport. Its airport railway connection runs toward București Nord, where mainline trains continue through the Prahova Valley to Sinaia, Azuga, Predeal and Brașov. The rail journey initially heads into Bucharest to make that connection; it is not a direct airport train into the mountains. Poiana Brașov has no mainline station, so a Brașov arrival adds a local bus or reserved road ride. Direct transfers follow the northern road corridor and may be quicker with a group, although DN1 weekend traffic can be substantial. Compare the complete accommodation journey with the flight time and the last useful train. When choosing an arrival time, you can compare flights to Bucharest Henri Coandă Airport and check whether it leaves enough time for the last coach or train into the mountains.
Follow the airport railway signs and confirm the dated CFR Călători or other selected operator service to București Nord. Allow time at Nord to find the mountain train platform. An airport ticket and an InterRegio seat reservation are different products; check the train’s ski-luggage rules.
DN1 through the Prahova Valley can queue at weekends and holiday changeovers. A railway station in Sinaia, Azuga or Predeal is below or away from the lifts. Confirm the local hotel connection and allow a buffer on the return to OTP.
