Agree with you RE. the unpleasant airport experience that is Baneasa. My final flight from there was with Blue Air to LTN in Feb 2012, so just prior to the closure. It really was hideous in every sense back then: no room to move around in the terminal, queues for check in and security snaking outside, and just 4 tiny departure gates expected to handle full 738s and A320s. It really could not cope back then, and I dread to think what will happen now, considering it cannot be expanded, and more people are travelling now versus 2011/12.
