\nsmaller airports from around the country, which are less crowded and closer to
\ntheir homes, according to a survey published online by a travel agency. Thus, airports
\nlike those in Suceava, in the north-east, Bac\u0103u, in the east,
\nCraiova, in the south, and T\u00e2rgu Mure\u015f, in the centre, are in increasingly
\nused, despite the fact that the cost of flights may be more expensive, because
\nsmaller airports do not generate enough traffic to attract low-cost airlines. The
\nflights from the airport in Cluj Napoca, in the north-west, are among the most
\nexpensive in Romania, while those from Otopeni, near the capital Bucharest, in
\nthe south, the cheapest. In terms of travel destinations, the most popular from
\nRomania are those to London, Rome, Milan and Brussels, where there are big
\nRomanian communities. <\/p>\n
