Cheap Flights from Bucharest to Bratislava — $26

Bucharest is mainly served by Henri Coandă International (OTP), the city’s primary international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers, alongside a smaller role for low-cost and charter airlines; Otopeni is about 16–18 km north of the city centre and typically offers the widest choice of connections. Transfer options include express train or regional rail (roughly 20–40 minutes), shuttle buses and taxis (25–45 minutes depending on traffic) with fares varying from budget bus tickets to moderate taxi fares and ride-hailing rates. A secondary airport, Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU), can be used for some low-cost or business flights and is closer to central Bucharest. Pros: OTP is well connected and offers more services; cons: traffic and occasional waits for immigration and buses can reduce convenience.

Štefánik Airport (BTS), serves as Slovakia’s primary international gateway but is relatively small compared with major European hubs—often attracting low-cost carriers and regional airlines alongside a handful of scheduled international services. The airport lies about 10–12 km east of the city center; taxis and ride-hailing typically take 15–25 minutes depending on traffic, while public buses connect to the center in roughly 30–40 minutes with modest fares. Car rental and limited shuttle options are also available. Pros include quick check-in and short walking distances; cons can be fewer nonstop long-haul links and limited on-site amenities compared with larger hubs.
