Book flights from Bucharest to Bangkok with Qatar Airways
Flights from Bucharest to Bangkok with Qatar Airways offer exceptional services that make the journey a pleasure from start to finish. Comfortable, spacious seating and a menu of delicious cuisine provide the conditions you need for total relaxation. Award-winning cabin crew look after your every need, a menu of gourmet cuisine keeps your hunger at bay while countless entertainment options help time pass smoothly by on your way to Bangkok.
It’s the exotic mix of ancient shrines and modern glass-and-steel buildings that makes Bangkok such an exciting city to visit. Canals are everywhere, fed by the Chao Phraya River and spreading to all parts of the city. They flow past the royal precinct of Rattanakosin with its Grand Palace, and this flamboyant district is best viewed from a passing boat. Shrines such as the Wat Pho Temple with its giant Buddha statue, and the nearby Wat Phra Kaew temple, make suitably exotic backgrounds for photos.
Arriving in Bangkok
Book a flight to Bangkok with Qatar Airways and you’ll arrive at one of the world’s most exciting and popular destinations.
Not only a beloved destination by the adventurous travellers and ‘backpackers,’ but it’s also a wonderful destination for the more discerning, luxury travellers.
Whether you’re looking for ancient temples, bustling markets, lively nightlife or absolute luxury, you’ll find it in Bangkok.
Tourist attractions
Many of the city’s best known sights can be found in the historic centre within the Rattanakosin district.
The most spectacular attraction is the Grand Palace, which was once home to the King of Thailand and today offers visitors a rich mixture of history and architectural splendour.
Within the palace grounds you’ll also discover Thailand’s holiest temple, Wat Phra Kaew. Other highlights in Rattanakosin include the large reclining Buddha statue at Wat Pho and the Thai-European fusion of Wat Ratchabophit.
Other popular districts worth exploring during your trip to Bangkok include Siam Square for sheer high-end luxury shopping, and Silom for its bustling entertainment venues.
For a very different perspective on the city and a more relaxing way to see the sights, go for a cruise down the Phraya River.

Flying from Bucharest
The larger of two airports serving Romania’s capital, Henri Coandă International Airport is a busy international air transport hub that is growing in importance in Europe.
It is currently undergoing a massive, multi-million dollar improvement programme that will expand its capacity for both arrivals and departures, including flights from Bucharest with Qatar Airways.
The airport is approximately 16.5km from the city centre, and the staff will ensure that your departure is smooth, hassle-free and easy.
Transportation and parking
The airport is particularly well served by public transport, with a train station less than a kilometre from the main terminal.
Buses ferry passengers to and from the station, as well as from the city centre’s bus station – journey times from the heart of Bucharest are approximately 30-60 minutes, depending on the time of day (rush hour can be particularly busy).
Taxis are plentiful and take around 20-40 minutes, again depending on traffic conditions, and some major hotels also run airport shuttle services.
Short-term parking is located close to the terminals, with long-stay facilities a little further away and connected to the main airport by shuttle services.
Arriving in Otopeni, Bucharest
Passengers flying from Bucharest with Qatar Airways depart from the Departures Hall within the main terminal building.
As the terminal is particularly large, ensure that you allow plenty of time before your plane departs to check in and clear security checks and customs.
Facilities and amenities
The terminal is split into two with a shop-lined walkway connecting the two. In the departures section there are plenty of dining options, including snacks and takeaway drinks and light bites, through to more substantial restaurant-style meals.
Shops offer a selection of goods and accessories, including some very good quality leather items. Wi-Fi is free and public telephones are plentiful (note that they use pre-paid cards rather than cash – cards are available to buy throughout the airport).
Other facilities include a hairdresser, a public viewing gallery and a pharmacy, as well as several lounge areas for passengers.
