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.

John Paul II Kraków–Balice Airport (KRK) is the main international gateway for Kraków and southern Poland, serving both full-service carriers and a strong budget airline presence. It is commonly seen as a mid-sized hub with regular connections across Europe and some seasonal long-haul services. The airport sits roughly 11 km west of the Old Town; transfer options include a 20–30 minute taxi ride, shuttle buses taking about 30–40 minutes, and a regional train that can reach the city center in around 20 minutes—fares are typically modest for public transport and higher for taxis. Pros: compact terminal, frequent low-cost flights, generally efficient security; cons: can be busy at peak times and some services may be limited compared with larger hubs.
