    Luton to Bucharest can experience diverse weather conditions, especially in spring and autumn. Layering is key—bring a light jacket, an umbrella, and breathable clothing to stay comfortable upon arrival.

  • 📍 Learn a Few Local Phrases

  • 🚍 Stay Hydrated

    On a flight, altitude can lead to dehydration. Drink plenty of water before and during your flight, especially if you plan to explore Bucharest right after landing. Consider packing a reusable water bottle.

    Check if your airline offers traditional Romanian snacks or meals. Trying local flavors, even from 30,000 feet, can be a delightful prelude to your trip. Some airlines might serve Mămăligă-inspired dishes.

  • 🏛 Prepare for Currency Exchange

    Although Euros are accepted in some places in Romania, the local currency is the Romanian Leu (RON). Familiarize yourself with the exchange rate and consider notifying your bank about your trip to avoid any inconveniences.
