Terminals are compact and generally easy to navigate, though peak times can be crowded; it’s convenient for international connections but can feel busy compared with smaller regional fields.

Băneasa is closer (around 8–10 km) and can be a budget-leaning option for short flights, but services and facilities are more limited.

Cons: road congestion can make transfers unpredictable, and domestic/incremental low-cost fares may mean extra fees for bags and services.
