Cheap Flights from Lisbon to Bucharest — $75

Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) is Portugal’s primary international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers, European network airlines, and a growing number of low-cost operators. Located about 7 km (4–5 miles) northeast of the city center, it’s usually reachable by metro (around 20–30 minutes, fares roughly €1.50–€2.00), Aerobus shuttles (25–40 minutes, modest fare), taxis or ride-hailing (about 15–25 minutes depending on traffic). The airport can be convenient for international connections and central access, though busy peak periods and limited early-morning direct services can affect comfort. For budget travelers, nearby low-cost schedules and decent public transport make LIS a practical choice; those seeking quieter options sometimes consider alternate regional airports for specific low-fare routes.

Bucharest is served primarily by Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP) and Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU). Henri Coandă, north of the city, functions as the main international hub handling most full-service carriers and many long-haul and regional flights; it’s typically viewed as the primary gateway and can be pricier on transfers and on-site services. Aurel Vlaicu, closer to the center, often caters to low-cost and charter airlines with shorter routes and budget fares. OTP sits about 16–20 km from central Bucharest with road transfers usually taking 30–50 minutes depending on traffic; taxis and ride-hailing are common (fares vary), while an express train and buses offer cheaper options in roughly 30–60 minutes. Băneasa is around 8 km away and reachable in 15–30 minutes by taxi or local buses, making it convenient for quick city access but with more limited amenities and fewer international connections. Pros: OTP offers wider connectivity and more services; Băneasa can save travel time and fares for short trips. Cons: OTP may involve longer transfer times and occasional congestion; Băneasa has limited facilities and fewer flight choices.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Lisbon to Bucharest is $67 (June 2026), while the maximum is $107 (August 2026). On average, a ticket costs $83–$165.
