Uber pick-up point at OTP airport, Bucharest?
Any idea where is uber pickup point at OTP? I sent a DM with uber support on twitter and was advised it's on the first level (= ground flr?) outside parking which seems abit vague.

Yes, it's very straightforward. Exit the terminal, cross the road to the main car park which you'll see directly in front of you, and wait in the surface section. The taxis will enter the car park to your left if you stand with the terminal behind you, and you'll be charged a small amount for the car park fee which the driver pays at the exit barrier. Arriving at midnight a few weeks ago, I had to wait about 10 minutes for an Uber X.

Thanks! Wifi was abit iffy at the airport, but I managed to find my uber driver. Just cross the road and walk between the 2 parking payment booths. They will usually park somewhere along there.

Quick update on this lest anybody needs it in future.
The Uber pickup point is no longer on the ground floor opposite the arrivals exit - taxis and Ubers etc are not allowed in that area as it is reserved for buses and rental shuttles.
As the Uber app may tell you, you need to go up to the open, top (second) floor of the short term car park that is immediately opposite the arrivals exit point. There is a lift and stairs in one of the carpark pillars alongside the road - the top level actually being marked M for Mezzanine. Then you will have to search for your vehicle.
