Bucharest is served primarily by Henri Coandă International (OTP), the country’s main international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers, and Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU), a smaller airport often used for low-cost and regional flights. OTP sits about 16–18 km north of the city center and is typically reachable by express train, regional train or taxis; journey times are usually 20–45 minutes depending on traffic, with train fares commonly being the cheapest option. Băneasa lies closer to central Bucharest (around 8 km) and can be quicker by car when schedules align. Pros: OTP offers wider airline choice and more facilities; Băneasa can be convenient for short-haul, budget-conscious travelers. Cons: both can be affected by peak-hour traffic and occasional delays at busy connection times.
