Cheap Flights from Bucharest to Moscow — $142

Bucharest is served mainly by Henri Coandă International (OTP), the primary international hub located about 16–18 km north of the city center; it typically handles full-service carriers and many international routes, alongside several low-cost airlines. Transfer options include the express train or regional train (around 20–40 minutes), taxis and ride-hailing (25–40 minutes depending on traffic), and airport shuttles — fares generally range from a few euros for rail to mid-range taxi fares. OTP can be convenient for onward connections and has a broad airline mix, though peak-hour road traffic and busy immigration lines can sometimes add time to journeys. Aurel Vlaicu / Băneasa (BBU) historically served as Bucharest’s city airport and now typically functions as a smaller domestic and business-focused facility with occasional low-cost services; it sits roughly 8–10 km north of central Bucharest. Ground transport options are usually taxis, ride-hailing and occasional buses, taking about 20–35 minutes depending on traffic, with fares usually lower than longer trips from OTP. BBU can be quicker to reach for central arrivals and departures, offering shorter transfer times, but it has more limited route options and fewer facilities compared with the main international airport.

Moscow is served by several major airports that together handle international, regional and low-cost traffic. Sheremetyevo (SVO) functions as the main international hub and typically hosts full-service carriers and many long-haul flights; it lies about 30–35 km northwest of the city center and can be reached by Aeroexpress train in roughly 35–45 minutes or by taxi in 40–70 minutes depending on traffic, with train fares usually mid-range and taxis priced higher. Domodedovo (DME) is a large international airport to the south that often combines full-service and charter operations; it’s roughly 40–45 km from central Moscow and connected by Aeroexpress (about 45–50 minutes) and road links, with similar fare patterns. Vnukovo (VKO) tends to handle a mix of scheduled and budget flights and is about 28–30 km southwest of downtown; it’s reachable by Aeroexpress or bus plus taxi in roughly 35–60 minutes. Smaller and business-oriented Zhukovsky (ZIA) can host low-cost carriers and niche services, while all airports offer regional bus, taxi and private transfer options. Pros include multiple terminals serving different needs and frequent fast train links to the city; cons can be lengthy road travel in peak traffic and varying amenities depending on the terminal and carrier.
