London is served by several airports with different roles. Heathrow (LHR) is the main international hub, typically hosting full-service carriers and many long-haul flights; it sits about 24 km west of central London and can be reached by the Heathrow Express in around 15–25 minutes (higher fares), the Elizabeth Line or Piccadilly Line in 40–60 minutes (moderate fares), or taxis in 30–60 minutes depending on traffic. Gatwick (LGW) is a large international and leisure gateway to the south, often used by both full-service and low-cost airlines; it’s about 45 km from the centre with a fast rail link (30–40 minutes) and cheaper coach services (60–90 minutes). Stansted (STN) and Luton (LTN) are typically more budget-oriented, popular with low-cost carriers and charter operators; both are 40–70 km from central London and connected by express trains or coaches that usually take 30–75 minutes at lower fares. London City (LCY) is a compact, business-focused airport very close to the financial district (about 10 km) with quick DLR and short taxi rides of 15–30 minutes, but it generally handles fewer flights and has stricter aircraft size limits. Pros: wide choice of airlines and schedules across price ranges; good rail/coach links. Cons: variable journey times due to traffic, possible extra time required for transfers and peak-hour congestion.

Bucharest is mainly served by Henri Coandă International (OTP), the city's primary international hub located about 18–20 km north of the center, and Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU), a smaller airport closer to the city used intermittently for low-cost or business flights. OTP typically handles full-service carriers and many international routes; BBU can be favored by budget airlines or private aviation. Travel from OTP to central Bucharest usually takes 30–50 minutes by car or taxi (fares roughly moderate for the region), while a direct express bus or train can be cheaper but slower. BBU is around 8–10 km away and reachable by short taxi rides or local buses. Pros: broad route network at OTP and occasional convenience at nearby BBU; cons: OTP can be busy with peak-time waits and BBU’s limited services vary by operator.

In different months, ticket prices from London to Bucharest vary: minimum — $27 (October 2025), maximum — $31 (November 2025). Typically, the flight costs $29–$31.
