Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN) serves as the main international gateway for the Cologne area and often functions as a mixed hub that caters to both full-service international carriers and a wide selection of low-cost airlines; fares can be competitive, especially on budget carriers. The airport lies about 15 km southeast of Cologne’s city centre, with S-Bahn and regional trains taking roughly 15–20 minutes to Cologne Central Station; bus and taxi links are also common, with public-transport fares typically in the low single-digit euros and taxis taking around 25–35 minutes depending on traffic. Pros: compact layout, frequent budget connections and quick rail access to the city. Cons: can be busy at peak times and may have fewer long-haul amenities compared with larger international hubs.
Bucharest’s main gateway, Henri Coandă International (OTP), functions as Romania’s primary international hub and handles most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside low-cost airlines. It sits about 16–20 km north of the city center, with travel times typically 30–50 minutes by car depending on traffic; express bus services and trains link the airport to central Gara de Nord in about 20–40 minutes with fares generally low-to-moderate. A second facility, Aurel Vlaicu (Băneasa - BBU), is closer to the center (roughly 8 km) and can be used for some regional and charter operations or seasonal budget services, offering very short taxi rides or quick tram/bus connections. Pros: OTP offers extensive route choices and full amenities; BBU is convenient for quick access. Cons: OTP can be busy and subject to variable road congestion; BBU has limited carrier and service options.
