Cheap Flights from Bucharest to Alicante — $36

Bucharest is served by two main airports with different roles. Henri Coandă (OTP) is the primary international gateway and hub for full-service carriers and some low-cost airlines; it’s located about 16–18 km north of the city centre and typically offers a wide range of long-haul and regional connections. Transfer options include express bus and local buses (35–60 minutes depending on traffic, fares usually inexpensive), taxis or app ride-hailing (30–45 minutes, fares vary), and a planned rail link. Otopeni is generally more comfortable for international travel but can be busier and pricier for last-minute transfers. Meanwhile, Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU) once handled domestic and low-cost flights and is much closer to the centre (around 8 km), offering quick taxi or tram rides (15–30 minutes) at low cost; it can be more convenient for short-haul or budget travellers but has fewer services and limited international options.

Alicante–Elche Miguel Hernández Airport (ALC) serves as the main international gateway for Spain’s Costa Blanca and typically functions as a mix of holiday-focused and regional hub rather than a large long-haul connector. Low-cost carriers and seasonal charters are commonly prominent alongside a handful of legacy airlines, so fares can often be competitive, especially outside peak summer weeks. The airport sits roughly 9–12 km from Alicante city centre; taxis take about 15–20 minutes, while the C-6 bus and tram links require around 20–40 minutes depending on the service and stop, with fares usually modest. Pros: compact layout and direct low-cost options make it convenient for quick transfers. Cons: can be busy in summer and some connections are seasonal or limited in frequency.

In different months, ticket prices from Bucharest to Alicante vary: minimum — $41 (June 2026), maximum — $132 (August 2026). Typically, the flight costs $73–$138.
