Milan is served by three main airports with different roles. Malpensa (MXP) is the international hub handling most long-haul and intercontinental carriers as well as some full-service European airlines; it’s generally perceived as mid- to premium-priced for fares and sits about 50 km northwest of the city center. Trains (Malpensa Express) take roughly 40–50 minutes to Milano Centrale with fares commonly in the moderate range, while taxis or private transfers can be 45–60 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. Strengths: comprehensive long-haul connections and modern facilities. Drawbacks: longer transfer times and occasional higher transfer costs. Linate (LIN) functions mainly as Milan’s city airport for domestic and short-haul European flights, favored by business travelers and full-service carriers for quick access. Located around 7 km east of central Milan, it usually offers the shortest journey to the center—taxi or tram rides often take 20–30 minutes, with public buses and urban transit being economical and fast. The compact layout can make transfers and check-ins quicker, though runway restrictions can limit long-haul options and schedules. Overall, Linate is convenient for time-sensitive trips but can be pricier on peak business routes. Orio al Serio / Bergamo (BGY) operates largely as a budget and low-cost carrier base, commonly used by travelers seeking lower-fare options to Milan. It lies about 45 km northeast of Milan; airport shuttles and regional buses typically take 50–70 minutes to reach the city and are usually very affordable, while taxis or private transfers are faster but costlier. The airport can be busy with discount carriers and may have more basic amenities compared with larger hubs. Its main advantage is lower ticket prices; trade-offs include longer transfers and occasional schedule concentration during peak travel periods.

Bucharest is served primarily by Henri Coandă International (OTP), the main international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside a growing number of low-cost airlines, and Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU), a smaller airport that can be used for some budget and business flights. OTP sits about 16–20 km north of the city centre; transfer options include express buses and trains (roughly 30–50 minutes, fares typically low), taxis and rideshares (30–45 minutes, variable fares). BBU is closer, around 8 km from central Bucharest, reachable by taxi or local bus in 20–35 minutes. Pros: OTP offers wide route choice and better facilities; BBU can be quicker for short trips. Cons: both can be affected by traffic and peak-time queues, and budget carriers may use secondary terminals or limited services.
