Bucharest is served mainly by Henri Coandă International (OTP), the primary international hub located about 16–20 km north of the city center; it typically handles full-service carriers and larger low-cost airlines, and fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. Ground links include express trains and regional rail taking roughly 20–40 minutes to Gara de Nord, city buses and private shuttles in 40–60 minutes, plus taxis and ride-hail services usually taking 30–45 minutes depending on traffic — fares vary by mode. OTP is convenient for onward international connections and offers more amenities and carrier choices, but peak-hour traffic and distance from central Bucharest can add transfer time. Bucharest’s smaller airport, Aurel Vlaicu/ Băneasa (BBU), sits about 8 km north of downtown and has traditionally been a compact, budget-oriented facility serving short-haul and low-cost routes. It can be quicker to reach central neighborhoods — typically 15–30 minutes by taxi or local bus — and is often perceived as more economical for short flights, though options and frequencies are more limited than at OTP. BBU’s strengths are proximity and faster terminal processing, while constraints include fewer lounges, limited long-haul services, and variable public-transport links outside peak times.

Iași International Airport (IAS) is the main gateway to northeastern Romania and typically functions as a regional international hub rather than a long-haul transfer center. It usually handles a mix of legacy and low-cost carriers operating flights across Europe and seasonal routes, so fares can be competitive compared with larger national hubs. The airport sits about 8–10 km east of Iași city centre; taxi rides commonly take 15–25 minutes while city buses or shuttles can be 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, with fares generally low and affordable. Pros include compact terminals and quick walk times from curb to gate, while cons can be limited late-night services and fewer lounge or shopping options compared with bigger airports.

In different months, ticket prices from Bucharest to Iasi vary: minimum — $45 (November 2025), maximum — $53 (September 2026). Typically, the flight costs $49–$101.
