Most international flights arrive at/depart from Bucharest International Airport.
There are trains from the airport to the Bucuresti-Nord main train station, but the trip is a combination of a minibus ride to the nearest small train station followed by a train ride.
It is better to take a direct bus. There is an express bus no.780, which takes you directly from the airport to the train station. The card has to be bought before you get on the bus, from the card/ticket booth in the bus station. The price for one way is around 1 euro.
The trip from the airport to the train station can be also made by taxi. You can take a normal taxi (right from the front of the airport), but be careful some drivers might try to negotiate the price with you. The price by taxi nowadays is around 30 lei (6-7 euros).
The trip by train from Bucharest to Miercurea-Ciuc can take around 4 and a half hours and costs around 69 lei (16 euros).
