Tips before you fly

Many flights from Suceava leave very early, between 5:20 and 6:00. From Ukraine it is easier to arrive the day before and stay overnight in Suceava.
Wizz Air check-in and bag drop open 2 hours and close 40 minutes before departure; online check-in closes 3 hours before.
London is outside Schengen, so you need a UK visa or permission to enter.
Since March 2026 Romania’s border uses the EU Entry/Exit System, which takes fingerprints and a photo. Allow extra time.
