Cheap Flights from Bucharest to Thessaloniki — $39

Bucharest is served mainly by Henri Coandă International (OTP) and the smaller Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU). Henri Coandă, north of the city, functions as Romania’s primary international gateway and a full-service hub for legacy carriers and growing low-cost operations; fares here can be mid-range compared with regional peers. It lies about 16–20 km (roughly 30–50 minutes by road) from central Bucharest, with trains, express buses and taxis available — expect 8–16 RON for public buses or 10–60 RON for taxi/transfers depending on provider. Pros: frequent international connections and more passenger services; cons: busy at peak times and a longer transfer into the city. Aurel Vlaicu (Băneasa) is a small airport much closer to the city center, historically used by low-cost and charter carriers and now primarily for business and general aviation. It sits about 8–10 km (around 15–30 minutes by car) north of central Bucharest, reachable by taxi or local bus; fares are typically lower for short rides though public options can be limited. Pros: short transfers and convenience for quick trips; cons: fewer scheduled flights and limited facilities compared with the main airport.

The terminal is compact and usually easy to navigate, making transfers straightforward, though peak summer crowds can slow things down.
