Can I make a 2 hours connection at OTP on an international flight?
2 hours clears the 60-minute international minimum connection time at Otopeni, but you should still head directly to your gate. Most connections happen within Terminal 2 via a single set of concourses split into Schengen and non-Schengen departure zones, connected by a short walk of 5-10 minutes. Terminal 1, used mainly for some low-cost and charter operations, requires a shuttle bus link of about 10-15 minutes to reach Terminal 2, and passengers switching between Schengen and non-Schengen zones may face a passport/security re-check depending on routing.
