Bucharest is served primarily by Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP), the country’s main international hub located about 16–18 km north of the city center. OTP typically handles most long‑haul and full‑service carriers alongside several low‑cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. Ground links include express bus and local bus services (approximately 40–60 minutes, low single‑digit euro fares), taxis or rideshares (30–45 minutes depending on traffic, moderate fares), and a recently improved rail shuttle with similar travel times. The airport is convenient for international connections and has decent passenger facilities; however, peak hours can be busy and transfers may require time allowances. Bucharest also has Aurel Vlaicu International Airport (Băneasa, BBU), which historically served domestic and short‑haul flights and can be a practical choice for budget or regional services. Băneasa sits much closer to central Bucharest — roughly 8–10 km — making it faster to reach by taxi or tram (15–25 minutes, usually low fares). While Băneasa can offer quicker access and a compact terminal experience, it typically handles fewer flights and fewer international long‑haul options than Henri Coandă, so choices and schedules can be more limited.

Chelyabinsk Airport (CEK) acts as the region’s main aviation gateway, serving a mix of domestic routes and a limited number of international connections; it typically handles flights from Russian carriers and some low-cost or regional operators. The airport sits about 18–20 km northwest of the city center, with taxi rides usually taking 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and costing roughly the equivalent of a modest local fare; occasional shared shuttles and private transfers can be found, while public buses and minibuses offer cheaper transfers taking around 40–60 minutes. Travelers can expect a compact, straightforward terminal that is often more convenient and less crowded than larger hubs, though amenities and international transfer options may be more limited. Overall it can be a practical choice for regional travel and those prioritizing convenience over extensive services.
