Arrival Planning
Travel days can look different for everyone, so I encourage you to plan your arrival in a way that supports ease, comfort, and intentional movement into the retreat space.
The Mending Miles shuttles run at 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM, which gives you flexibility as you choose the flight that best aligns with your needs.
​
If an earlier flight is more affordable or simply easier to secure, you’re welcome to arrive ahead of your shuttle time. ChiÈ™inău International Airport (RMO) has cafés, small restaurants, lounges, and seating areas where you can relax, eat, read, or recharge while you wait. For many travelers, arriving early actually reduces stress and makes the transition into the retreat feel smoother.

Below are a few common scenarios to help you decide what works best for you, along with approximate flight price ranges gathered from recent searches.
