Bucharest is served mainly by Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP), the country’s busiest international gateway, and Aurel Vlaicu/Ion Ţiriac Airport (BBU), a smaller airport that typically handles low-cost and business flights. Henri Coandă is the primary hub for full-service carriers and most long-haul connections, while BBU often hosts budget airlines and regional services, which can make fares from each airport feel comparatively higher or lower depending on carrier and season. OTP lies about 16–18 km north of the city center; travel options include express trains and regional trains (20–30 minutes, modest fares), buses or trolleybuses (30–50 minutes, low fares), and taxis or rideshares (25–45 minutes, variable fares). BBU sits much closer to central Bucharest (around 8 km) with quick taxi or rideshare trips (15–25 minutes) and limited public transport links. Pros: OTP offers extensive international connectivity and more passenger services; BBU can be quicker for central access and low-cost carriers. Cons: OTP can be busy and further out at peak times, while BBU may have fewer flights and amenities.
Budapest Ferenc Liszt International (BUD) is Hungary’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of legacy carriers, full‑service leisure airlines and a sizeable number of low‑cost operators. The airport lies about 16–20 km southeast of the city centre; travel times are usually 30–45 minutes by taxi or 40–50 minutes by public transport depending on traffic. Options include direct bus and suburb rail links with fares generally low to moderate, while airport taxis and ride‑share trips can cost noticeably more. Pros: a modern terminal with diverse dining and shopping and good route coverage. Cons: can be busy at peak times and budget flyers may face extra add‑ons for bags and services.
