Blue Air has now opened a new sales channel by providing its API to HitchHiker GmbH enabling HitchHiker customers to book Blue Air flights at the same prices as via the Blue Air website.

Over the years the Blue Air fleet has increased to 10 Boeing 737 aircraft with modern interiors and comfortable seats. As a special service the airline allows check-in baggage of 32 kg per piece and up to 4 bags per person, free carry-on luggage of 10 kg per piece and coach transfers from Bucharest Airport to/from Constanta or Brasov. Services such as online check-in, luggage and seat reservation can be utilised through HitchHiker Direct Connect. Possible payment methods are: MasterCard, Visa, Maestro and Agency Payment.
