While, there is an airport near Brasov, I had to fly into Bucharest. Transportation between Bucharest Airport (OTP) and Brasov is chaotic. We opted not to reserve seats for the "bus" which turned out to be the right thing to do for us. Our flight was delayed and we were required to check our roll on bags. There were signs inside arrival hall for Autobus to Brasov. There were no directions outside the building. The online blogs mentioned the buses depart from an area between the Departure and the Arrival buildings. It would be more correctly to say that the buses depart from behind the parking garage in front of the arrival building. That might have been a recent change. In Romania things are fluid. It's a quick 3 minute walk from Arrival; finding it took 15 minutes.

Once we found our way to a group of dozen or so people and found the guy in charge of the Brasov buses (he was one of 2 or 3 with a clipboard and colored vest), we were told to wait "over there", The bus turned out to be a 21 seat minibus with insufficient space for bags. There were 18 people going to Brasov. We paid cash for the ride. All of us fit into the bus with the overflow bags rolling inside the bus for a 3 hour ride. The Aro Palace Hotel is the stop for the Old Town.
