Bucharest is served mainly by Henri Coandă International (OTP) and the smaller Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU). Henri Coandă, located about 16–20 km north of the city center, acts as Romania’s primary international gateway and typically handles full-service carriers alongside many low-cost airlines; fares through OTP can span budget to premium ranges depending on season. Transfer options include express buses or city buses (35–60 minutes, low single-digit euros/leu equivalents), taxi or ride-hail services (30–45 minutes, moderate cost), and occasionally airport shuttles. Pros: wide route network and modern facilities; cons: can be busy at peak times and transfers may take longer than expected. Băneasa, nearer to central Bucharest (roughly 8–10 km), is usually a smaller, budget-leaning option for short-haul flights; it’s convenient for quick access by taxi or metro/rail connections with shorter travel times but offers fewer amenities and limited carrier choice.
