Bucharest is served mainly by Henri Coandă International (OTP) and the smaller Aurel Vlaicu/ Băneasa (BBU). Henri Coandă is the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside several low-cost airlines; fares here can be mid-range to premium depending on carrier and season. It sits about 18–20 km north of central Bucharest, with transfers typically taking 30–50 minutes by car or taxi (roughly €10–€30) and 40–60 minutes by bus or express train for lower fares. Pros: more flight choices and modern facilities; cons: can be busy and traffic-dependent. Băneasa, closer at around 8 km, is mainly used for regional and some low-cost services; it can be quicker to reach (15–30 minutes by taxi for modest fares) but offers fewer connections and more basic amenities.
