Bucharest is served mainly by Henri Coandă International (OTP), the city’s primary international hub handling most long-haul and legacy carrier traffic, and Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU), a smaller airport that can be used for some low-cost and business flights. OTP lies about 16–18 km north of central Bucharest and is typically accessed by express train (roughly 20–30 min), bus or taxi (30–45 min depending on traffic); fares can range from budget public-transport prices up to moderate taxi or rideshare rates. BBU is closer to the city center, often quicker by car but with fewer flight options. Pros: OTP offers more facilities and connections; cons: traffic and transfer times can be variable, while BBU has limited routes and fewer services.
Riga International Airport (RIX) serves as Latvia’s main international gateway and typically functions as a regional hub rather than a low-cost-only field. It commonly hosts national carrier airBaltic alongside a mix of full-service and budget airlines operating flights across Europe, Scandinavia and some seasonal routes. The airport lies roughly 10 km (about 20–30 minutes) southeast of central Riga; taxis are usually the fastest option with fares often in the moderate range, while public buses and shuttle services provide cheaper transfers in around 30–40 minutes. Advantages include a compact, easy-to-navigate terminal and efficient connections; drawbacks can be limited late-night services and fewer long-haul options compared with larger European hubs.
