The
expiry date of your passport should not be less than three months after the date of your de-
parture from Romania. Additionally, some airlines may deny travel to passengers whose
passports are within six months of expiration.
CLIMATE CHANGE & TRAVEL
Every form of transport that relies on carbon-based fuel generates CO2, the main cause of human-induced climate
change. Modern travel is dependent on aeroplanes, which might use less fuel per kilometre per person than most
cars but travel much greater distances. The altitude at which aircraft emit gases (including CO2) and particles also
contributes to their climate change impact. Many websites offer 'carbon calculators' that allow people to estimate
the carbon emissions generated by their journey and, for those who wish to do so, to offset the impact of the green-
house gases emitted with contributions to portfolios of climate-friendly initiatives throughout the world. Lonely
Planet offsets the carbon footprint of all staff and author travel.
Air
Romania has good air connections to Europe and the Middle East. At the time of research
there were no direct flights to Romania from North America or Southeast Asia.
