Upside
Great connections from four airports in Romania to destinations across Europe.
Downside
Web savvy flyers may not like Blue Air's site, which is due for an upgrade and contains cryptic info at best regarding airfare and flight policies.
About
Blue Air is a Romanian low-cost carrier based in Bucharest. The airline serves three Romanian airports in addition to Bucharest: Arad, Bacau, and Cluj Napoca.
Italy and Spain are particularly well served, though Blue Air also flies to Turkey, Portugal, Germany, France, Belgium, and the UK. Blue Air has some distance to go before it emerges as a top-tier budget airline, but it certainly reaches more destinations in Romania than any other low-cost carrier.
Baggage
* Carry-on: One item not exceeding 7 kg and one laptop.
* Checked: Up to two bags not exceeding 20 kg. Baggage over 20 kg will incur a fee of €6 per kg. You will be charged €7 for each checked baggage.
Seating
Check in is 40-minutes prior to departure. Seat preferences are never guaranteed and, in fact, Blue Air states explicitly on their site that they reserve the right to move you even after you board. Tough crew!
