Bucharest is served mainly by Henri Coandă International (OTP) and the smaller Aurel Vlaicu/ Băneasa (BBU). Henri Coandă at Otopeni is the primary international hub, handling full-service carriers and many major low-cost airlines; fares here can be mid-to-high range for international flights. It sits about 16–20 km north of central Bucharest, with travel times of roughly 25–45 minutes by car depending on traffic, and by train or express bus in about 20–40 minutes; airport shuttles, taxis and ride-hail services are readily available, with fares varying by service. Pros: more frequent long-haul connections and better passenger facilities; cons: can be busy and further from the center. Aurel Vlaicu (Băneasa) is a smaller, closer airport used historically by budget carriers and some charter services; it can be a cheaper option for short-haul flights but offers fewer routes and amenities. Located roughly 8–10 km north of downtown, it typically takes 15–30 minutes to reach by car depending on traffic; local buses and taxis serve the route with modest fares. Pros: proximity and quicker transfers for domestic or short European hops; cons: limited services, fewer lounges and less frequent connections than the main airport.

Dubai is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Dubai International (DXB) is the city's primary international hub, handling most long-haul and premium carriers such as Emirates and a wide mix of global airlines; it’s perceived as mid-to-high priced for lounges and transfers. DXB sits about 10–15 km from downtown Dubai, reachable by metro in roughly 15–25 minutes or by taxi in 15–30 minutes depending on traffic, with fares typically ranging from modest metro fees to moderate taxi fares. Al Maktoum International (DWC) functions more as a growing secondary hub and budget-friendly option for some low-cost and charter carriers, located about 35–45 km from the city center; travel by shuttle or taxi can take 40–60+ minutes at higher cost. Pros: DXB is highly connected and convenient for business travelers; DWC can be cheaper and less crowded. Cons: DXB can be busy at peak times; DWC involves longer transfers to central Dubai.
