Before arriving at Bucharest Airport, it's important to note that Romania is not part of the Schengen area, which means you will need to pass through passport control before entering the terminal. Recently, e-gates have been introduced to help expedite the process, so look for the line marked for e-gates to avoid longer waits associated with in-person checks. While the overall experience at passport control has received a rating of 7/10, travelers should prepare for potential delays, particularly during peak times. Familiarizing yourself with these procedures can help ensure a smoother arrival.
