Cheap Flights from Bucharest to Seoul Starting at $361

Bucharest is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Henri Coandă (OTP) north of the city is the primary international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside low-cost airlines; it sits about 16–20 km from central Bucharest and is typically the gateway for business and international traffic. Transfer options include the Bucharest Train (Airport Express) and bus lines with journey times around 30–50 minutes depending on traffic; fares can be modest, often in the low single-digit EUR range for public transport, while taxis and rideshares take roughly 30–45 minutes and cost more. OTP is generally more comfortable with full services and lounges, but can be busier and slightly pricier for transfers. Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU), closer to the city and north of central Bucharest, is usually positioned as a smaller airport that historically served domestic and short regional low-cost flights. It’s roughly 8–10 km from the city center, so ground transfers are typically quicker—about 15–30 minutes by taxi or rideshare—and some local buses provide cheaper links with similar short travel times. BBU can feel more convenient for quick hops and shorter waits, though facilities are more limited and route options fewer compared with Henri Coandă, and prices on secondary carriers can be competitive but vary by season.

Incheon International Airport (ICN) serves as Seoul’s primary international gateway and a major East Asian hub, typically handling long-haul and transfer traffic for full-service carriers and many global alliances. It’s located about 48 km west of central Seoul; travel time by AREX express train is usually around 45–55 minutes, while airport buses and taxis can take 60–90 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying by service and distance. Incheon is often perceived as mid- to premium-priced compared with smaller airports, offering extensive lounges, shopping, and transit options. Pros: modern facilities, strong transfer connectivity and amenities. Cons: longer journey to downtown and occasional congestion during peak periods. Gimpo International Airport (GMP) functions as Seoul’s secondary airport, commonly serving domestic routes plus short international flights to nearby cities in Japan, China, and Taiwan; it tends to attract both budget-conscious travelers and full-service regional carriers. Gimpo lies about 15 km west of Seoul’s center, with AREX and subway connections typically taking 20–30 minutes; airport buses and taxis can be quicker depending on traffic, and fares are generally lower than to/from Incheon. The airport is usually more convenient for short-haul travel and quick transfers to western Seoul neighborhoods. Pros: closer to downtown, quicker check-in for short flights. Cons: fewer long-haul options and smaller retail/lounge offerings compared with Incheon.
