Flow of the day

Optional plans

• No sightseeing is required after arrival.
• Optional only: simple dinner near the Otopeni hotel or a short hotel-area walk.

Background / read during travel

This is the day where the itinerary stops trying to be interesting and starts trying to be reliable. That is exactly what the final preflight day should do.

Family rhythm note

Treat this as a finish-line day, not a bonus Bucharest sightseeing day. Everyone will feel the trip more than the schedule does.

Low-energy fallback

If the rail timing shifts, keep the night brutally simple: hotel check-in, dinner, sleep. That is still a win.

Execution guidance

• The Galați → București Nord leg is booked — IR 1572, Coach 3, seats 12/14/16/21/23/25 (the return of the round-trip ticket). Same QR-code + ID rule as Day 13.
• Decide the Nord → Otopeni hop in advance — it is not in the rail ticket. Simplest is a taxi/ride for six with bags; the Gara de Nord → Aeroport Henri Coandă train or bus 100 are cheaper alternatives.
• You reach Otopeni around 1:30 PM but Ramada check-in is 3:00 PM — plan to drop bags and wait, not to check in immediately.
• Keep this day boring on purpose; it is about airport protection, not squeezing in one more sight.
