Bucharest is served mainly by Henri Coandă International (OTP), the city's primary international hub handling most long-haul and European flights and housing full-service carriers alongside several low-cost operators. Otopeni is about 16–18 km north of the city center; journey times are typically 25–45 minutes by car depending on traffic. The airport is connected by express bus and regional train services, with fares usually ranging from low single digits to modest single-digit euros and taxis or app rides offering a faster but more variable-cost option. There is also Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU), a smaller airport that can be used for some budget or business flights and is closer to the city (roughly 8 km). Pros: OTP offers broad route choice and modern facilities; BBU can be quicker for short trips. Cons: traffic and peak-time queues at OTP can add time to transfers, while BBU has limited schedules and fewer amenities.
Zagreb Franjo Tuđman Airport (ZAG) functions as Croatia’s main international gateway and is typically positioned as a mid-sized hub handling both legacy carriers and a growing number of low-cost airlines. Flights can be competitively priced compared with larger Western European airports, though fares vary by season and carrier. The airport lies about 10–15 km southeast of the city center; taxi rides usually take 20–30 minutes, ride-hailing similar, and airport shuttle buses connect to central stations in roughly 30–40 minutes with modest fares. Car rental and limited regional bus services are also available. Pros include compact terminals and straightforward transfers; cons are fewer late-night connections and occasional peak-season crowding.
