Bucharest is served primarily by Henri Coandă International (OTP), the city’s main international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers, and the smaller Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU), which often caters to budget and regional flights. OTP sits about 16–20 km north of the city center — expect a taxi or rideshare to take roughly 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, with fares typically varying by time and provider; an express airport bus and an hour-long suburban train can be cheaper options. Băneasa is closer, around 8 km away, with quicker transfers but fewer services. Pros: OTP offers wider connectivity and facilities; Băneasa can be quicker and simpler for low-cost carriers. Cons: both can be affected by peak-hour congestion and variable public-transport schedules, so allow extra time for connections.

Tirana’s main gateway, Nënë Tereza Airport (TIA), functions as Albania’s primary international hub for business and leisure travelers, while smaller airfields play only minor roles. It typically hosts a mix of legacy and low-cost carriers offering regional and European routes, so fares can be competitive on budget airlines but higher on long-haul or last-minute services. The airport is about 16 km north of central Tirana; taxis normally take 20–35 minutes depending on traffic, and shared shuttles or buses can take 30–50 minutes with fares generally ranging from modest fixed shuttle fees to standard taxi rates. Pros: relatively close to the city with frequent low-cost options; Cons: limited long-haul connectivity and occasional congestion at peak times.

In different months, ticket prices from Bucharest to Tirana vary: minimum — $17 (May 2026), maximum — $60 (September 2026). Typically, the flight costs $42–$55.
