Bucharest is served primarily by Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP), the city's main international hub located about 16–20 km north of the center. OTP handles most full-service and many low-cost carriers, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. Ground transport includes an express bus (40–60 minutes), local buses and trains (30–50 minutes) and taxis or app rides (25–40 minutes), with typical fares varying from low single euros for transit to moderate taxi charges. The airport is generally modern with a wide route network—convenient for transfers—but can be busy during peak periods and transfer times may require extra time.
A smaller option is Aurel Vlaicu (Băneasa) Airport (BBU), closer to central Bucharest at roughly 8–10 km north of the city center. BBU traditionally served business and short-haul flights and is often used by a few regional and leisure carriers; ticket prices can be competitive for nearby destinations. Surface options include quick taxi or ride-hail trips (15–30 minutes) and limited public buses, with modest fares; there is no direct train link. The airport's proximity makes it handy for fast city access, though facilities and route choice are more limited compared with the larger Henri Coandă hub.
John Paul II Kraków–Balice Airport (KRK) is the main international gateway for Kraków and the surrounding Lesser Poland region, serving a mix of full-service carriers and a strong contingent of low-cost airlines. Located about 11 km (roughly 20–30 minutes) west of the Old Town, transfers typically include regional bus lines and the public train; buses can take 30–50 minutes depending on traffic and cost a few euros, while the train is faster and often competitively priced. Taxis and ride-hailing services are widely available but can be pricier than public options. The airport is compact and easy to navigate, making connections convenient, though peak periods can bring crowds and longer security waits.
