Bucharest is served primarily by Henri Coandă International (OTP), the country’s main international hub handling most full-service and low-cost carriers, and by Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU), a smaller airport that can be used for budget or private flights. OTP sits about 16–20 km north of the city center and is typically reached by bus, express train or taxi; journey times range from roughly 25–50 minutes depending on traffic, with public fares usually modest and taxis/ride-hailing costing more. Băneasa is closer to central Bucharest (around 8–10 km) and can be quicker by car but offers fewer scheduled routes. Pros: OTP provides wider route choice and services; Băneasa can be more convenient for short transfers. Cons: both airports can be affected by peak-hour congestion; Băneasa’s limited facilities mean fewer amenities and connections.
Chicago is served by several airports with different roles. O’Hare International (ORD) is the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and legacy-carrier flights — typically United and American have large operations here — and is generally seen as mid-to-upper range on fares compared with regional alternatives. It lies about 17–20 miles northwest of downtown; travelers usually take the CTA Blue Line (35–50 minutes, affordable fare), airport shuttle or taxi/rideshare (30–60 minutes, fares vary). Midway (MDW) is a smaller, more budget-leaning facility primarily used by low-cost carriers such as Southwest, sitting roughly 8–10 miles southwest of the Loop with CTA Orange Line service (25–40 minutes) and short taxi rides. Pros: ORD offers broad international connectivity and extensive amenities; cons: it can be busy and involve long transfers. MDW can be quicker for domestic, low-cost trips but has fewer international options and smaller terminal facilities.
