Bucharest is served primarily by Henri Coandă International (OTP) and a smaller domestic/budget-focused Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU). Henri Coandă is the main international gateway and typically handles full-service carriers and many low-cost flights too; it’s perceived as the standard option for most inbound and outbound journeys. The airport sits about 16–20 km north of the city center, with express bus/shuttle services and regular public buses taking roughly 30–50 minutes depending on traffic; taxi or rideshare fares can vary and usually fall in a moderate range. Aurel Vlaicu is closer—around 8 km—and can be quicker for central arrivals, often used by low-cost or business charters; surface connections are more limited but taxi rides are short. Pros: OTP offers more airlines, amenities and international connections; BBU can be faster and simpler for quick trips. Cons: OTP travel times can swell in peak traffic and both airports may require allowances for transfer times and variable transport costs.

Pulkovo Airport (LED) is Saint Petersburg’s main international gateway and typically functions as the city’s primary hub for full-service carriers and growing low-cost operations. It usually handles most long-haul and international flights as well as domestic services, so fares can vary from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. The terminal sits roughly 23 km south of the historic center; travelers can reach downtown in about 30–50 minutes by taxi or rideshare (often the quickest option) and in roughly 40–60 minutes by bus or marshrutka, with tram and express bus connections offering lower-cost alternatives. Pros: modern facilities and a wide route network; cons: peak-time congestion and varying transfer times to the city depending on traffic.
