Bucharest is served mainly by Henri Coandă International (OTP) and the smaller Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU). Henri Coandă is the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as many low-cost operators; fares from OTP can be mid-range to premium depending on season. It sits about 16–18 km north of central Bucharest, with travel times of roughly 30–50 minutes by train (Aeroexpress-like shuttle or CFR Regional), taxi (30–45 minutes) or private transfer; expect taxi fares to be moderate, while the airport train and buses are usually the cheapest options. Pros: broader route network and more passenger facilities; cons: can be busy and slightly farther from the city center. Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU) is a secondary airport closer to the center, historically serving domestic flights and short-haul low-cost routes; it can be a budget-friendly choice for point-to-point travelers. Located about 8–10 km north of downtown, transfer times are typically 15–30 minutes by taxi or ride-hail, with lower fares than from OTP; local buses also connect the area but can be slower. Pros: convenience and shorter transfers for short-haul trips; cons: fewer services, fewer long-haul options, and more limited facilities than the main airport.
Lyon–Saint-Exupéry (LYS) is the city’s main international gateway and typically serves full-service carriers and several low-cost airlines, making it a mix of long-haul and European connections. The airport sits about 25 km east of Lyon’s center; the Rhônexpress tram links to Part-Dieu station in roughly 30–35 minutes with fares usually in the low-to-mid range for regional airport shuttles. Taxis and ride-hailing can cut travel time to around 30–40 minutes depending on traffic, often at higher cost. Pros: decent onward connections, modern facilities and business services. Cons: it’s a bit distant from central Lyon and can be pricier or slower to reach than inner-city alternatives.
