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.

Athens Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH) is Greece’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and European services alongside a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers such as Aegean, Ryanair and easyJet. Located about 20 km east of the city center, it’s usually reached in 30–45 minutes by express suburban rail or metro (fare ~€10–€20), or by taxi in 30–40 minutes depending on traffic (typical fare range ~€30–€50). Airport buses and private shuttles can be cheaper but slower. The terminal is generally modern with extensive dining and shopping, making connections comfortable; peak-season crowds and occasional traffic delays can affect convenience for onward travel.
