Bucharest is mainly served 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 as well as many low-cost flights; fares from OTP can be competitive but often reflect demand and seasonality. It’s about 16–20 km from the city center, with travel options including an express train (~20–25 minutes; low to moderate fares), buses and shuttles (~40–60 minutes; budget-friendly), and taxis or rideshares (~30–45 minutes; variable fares). Pros: wide service mix and frequent connections; cons: peaks can be busy and transfers may take time. The smaller Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU) closer to downtown typically caters to regional and low-cost airlines, often offering cheaper short-haul tickets. Located roughly 8–10 km from central Bucharest, it’s reachable by short taxi or ride-share trips (~15–25 minutes) and limited public buses (~25–40 minutes; low fares). Pros: convenience and shorter transfers for nearby travelers; cons: fewer international routes and more limited facilities compared with the main airport.

Zurich Airport (ZRH) serves as Switzerland’s primary international gateway and a well-equipped hub for full-service carriers, notably Swiss International Air Lines, alongside a mix of European network and some low-cost operators. Located about 10 km (roughly 15–25 minutes by car) north of the city center, it’s commonly perceived as mid-to-high range on fares, especially for long-haul flights. Frequent rail links connect the airport to Zürich Hauptbahnhof in about 10–15 minutes with regional trains; tram and bus connections take 30–45 minutes depending on route, with fares typically matching local public-transport rates. Pros: fast, reliable connections and strong transfer facilities; cons: can be pricier and busier during peak periods, and parking/ground handling fees may add to overall trip costs.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Bucharest to Zurich is $95 (December 2025), while the maximum is $118 (November 2025). On average, a ticket costs $107–$118.
