Bucharest is served mainly by two airports: Henri Coandă (OTP), the primary international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers, and Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU), which typically caters to low-cost and regional flights. Henri Coandă lies about 16–20 km north of the city center and is usually connected by express bus, regional trains and taxis; journey times can be roughly 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, with fares ranging from modest public-transport tickets to higher taxi or rideshare rates. Băneasa sits much closer, around 8 km north, and can be quicker for budget trips though it has fewer amenities and limited schedules. Pros of Henri Coandă include more lounges and services; cons can be longer transfer times and occasional congestion. Băneasa’s advantage is proximity and faster check-in for short-haul flights, while its small size may mean fewer dining and shopping options.

Frankfurt Airport (FRA) serves as Germany’s primary international hub and a major European transfer point, typically handling a mix of full-service carriers and long-haul flights alongside some low-cost services. It is generally perceived as mid-to-high range in fares compared with regional alternatives, reflecting its extensive route network. The airport sits about 12–15 km (roughly 20–30 minutes) from Frankfurt city center; options include the frequent regional and long-distance trains (S-Bahn/ICE) with fares usually in the low single digits to mid-teens EUR, express buses, taxis (30–45 minutes, higher cost), and ride-hailing. Pros: broad connectivity, ample amenities, and fast rail links; cons: can be busy, spread out terminals, and occasional higher transfer times during peak periods.
