Bucharest is served mainly by Henri Coandă International (OTP) and the smaller Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU). Henri Coandă is the primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as many low-cost airlines; it sits about 16–20 km north of the city center and is typically viewed as mid-range to premium for connections. Travel by express train or bus takes roughly 20–40 minutes (fares commonly in the low single-digit euros), while taxis and ride-shares can be 25–45 minutes depending on traffic. Pros: wide choice of airlines, modern terminals and regular services; cons: can feel busy, transfer times may be longer at peak hours. Băneasa (Aurel Vlaicu) is a smaller, budget-leaning airport closer to central Bucharest—around 8–10 km north—primarily used by regional and low-cost carriers in some periods. Surface connections include short taxi or ride-share trips of about 15–25 minutes and occasional bus services; fares are usually modest. Pros: proximity to the city and quicker curb-to-gate times; cons: limited route network and fewer facilities compared with the main international airport. Travelers often choose it for short-hop, low-cost flights or convenience when heading to northern neighborhoods.

Milan Malpensa (MXP) is the city’s largest international gateway and typically serves long-haul and full-service carriers alongside some low-cost operators. Located about 50 km northwest of central Milan, transfers usually take 40–60 minutes by rail or road: the Malpensa Express train connects to Milano Centrale in roughly 50 minutes with fares commonly in the mid-range, while taxis and private transfers can be faster but more expensive. The airport offers extensive facilities and international connections, which can mean higher service levels but sometimes longer walks and security queues. It’s a good choice for intercontinental flights and wide carrier choice, though it can be less convenient for quick city access.

The cost of a one-way flight from Bucharest to Milan ranges from $17 (November 2025) to $62 (June 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $35–$40.
