Bucharest is served primarily by Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP) and the smaller Aurel Vlaicu International (Băneasa) Airport (BBU). Henri Coandă is the city’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside many low-cost airlines; fares here are typically mid-range for major European routes but can vary widely. Located about 16–20 km north of the city center, transfer options include the airport train (≈20–30 minutes), shuttle buses and taxis (≈30–45 minutes) with fares ranging from modest public-transport prices to higher taxi rates. Pros: comprehensive services, many flight choices and onward connections; cons: can be busy and transfer times may stretch in peak hours. Băneasa (Aurel Vlaicu) is closer to central Bucharest (about 8–10 km) and has historically catered to domestic and low-cost flights, though its role has been reduced since OTP expanded. Travel to the center is usually quick by taxi or tram (≈15–30 minutes), with lower public-transport fares and short cab rides at modest cost; however, scheduled services are fewer and route options can be limited. Pros: proximity and convenience for quick hops; cons: smaller terminal with fewer facilities and limited international connections compared with Henri Coandă.

Fly direct from Bucharest to Manchester for the fastest, most convenient way to reach the UK — ideal for business trips or city breaks when every hour counts. Direct flights cut out long layovers and reduce travel stress, though you may sometimes find cheaper options with connections; if you value time and comfort, booking non-stop is usually worth it.

Manchester Airport (MAN) is the North West’s principal international hub, serving a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines on short- and long-haul routes. It typically offers a wide range of fares, with budget options often available on European routes and higher prices more common for intercontinental services. The airport lies about 14 miles (22 km) southwest of Manchester city centre; journey times by train to Manchester Piccadilly are typically 20–25 minutes with frequent services, while taxis and ride-hailing can take 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, usually costing more. Coach links and local buses provide cheaper alternatives. Pros: good connectivity, multiple terminals and amenities; cons: can be busy at peak times and transfer between terminals can add time.
