Bucharest is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Henri Coandă (OTP), north of the city, is the main international hub handling most long-haul and legacy-carrier flights as well as many full-service and low-cost operators; fares there can be mid-range to premium depending on carrier and season. It sits about 16–20 km from central Bucharest, reachable by express bus or train in roughly 30–45 minutes (fares typically modest), taxis or app rides around 30–45 minutes with variable fares. Pros: wider route network and more facilities; cons: can be busy and a moderate transfer into the city. Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU) is closer — roughly 8–10 km north of the center — and usually serves short-haul, business and some low-cost flights; travel time by taxi or tram is about 15–30 minutes at a lower cost, while public buses offer cheaper transfers. Pros: quick access for central arrivals and smaller terminals; cons: fewer services and limited long-haul connectivity.

London is served by several airports with different roles. Heathrow is the primary international hub, typically handling long-haul and premium carriers and often perceived as mid-to-high priced for transfers and services; it lies about 20–25 km west of central London with the Heathrow Express (15–20 minutes, premium fare), Elizabeth Line (30–40 minutes, moderate fare) and London Underground (45–60 minutes, cheaper) as main options. Gatwick, south of the city, is a large international airport popular with full-service and leisure airlines; trains to Victoria or London Bridge take around 30–40 minutes with varied fares. Stansted and Luton are commonly budget-focused, used by low-cost carriers and often seen as cheaper on airfares but farther out (40–70 km); express and shuttle trains plus coaches take 40–70 minutes and may offer lower fares with longer transfer times. London City Airport, close to Canary Wharf (about 10 km east of central zones), is favored for business travellers with short check-ins and quick transport via DLR to central areas in 20–30 minutes. Pros across airports include a broad choice of carriers and connections; cons can include congestion, variable transfer costs, and longer journeys from the more peripheral budget airports.

In different months, ticket prices from Bucharest to London vary: minimum — $29 (December 2025), maximum — $74 (November 2025). Typically, the flight costs $52–$126.
