Bucharest is served mainly by Henri Coandă International (OTP), the country’s larger, full-service gateway and a regional hub for several carriers, and Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU), a smaller airport that can be used for budget or short-haul flights. OTP typically handles most long-haul and international services and is used by traditional and low-cost airlines alike, while BBU tends to host a more limited roster of regional or budget operators. Henri Coandă sits about 16–20 km north of the city center; travel options include express bus and regional trains (roughly 30–50 minutes) and taxis or ride-hailing (25–40 minutes), with fares that can range from modest public-transport prices to mid-range taxi charges. Băneasa is much closer—around 8 km north—allowing a short taxi or tram ride of about 15–25 minutes, often at lower transport cost but with fewer facilities. Pros: OTP offers broader connections and greater passenger amenities; BBU can be quicker to reach for north-city travelers and may be less hectic. Cons: OTP can be busy at peak times and transfer links may take longer; BBU has limited international routes and fewer services.

Helsinki Airport (HEL) is Finland’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, making it the primary choice for both long-haul and regional connections. Located about 17 km north of Helsinki city centre, travel times by train are usually around 27 minutes on the direct commuter service, with fares generally in the modest range; taxis and buses can take 30–40 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. The airport is well equipped with lounges, shops and seasonal dining options, so comfort and amenities are strong points, while occasional peak-hour crowds and transfer waits can be a downside for tight connections.
