Bucharest is served mainly by Henri Coandă International (OTP), the primary international hub located about 16–18 km north of the city center, and Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU), a smaller airport near the northern neighborhoods often used for low-cost or business flights. OTP typically handles full-service carriers and many international connections, while BBU can be favored by budget airlines and private traffic; fares from each can vary accordingly. From OTP, the express train or bus to the center takes roughly 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, with tickets usually low-cost; taxis and ride-shares are common and can be more expensive. BBU is closer — around 8–10 km — and reachable by bus or short taxi rides in 15–25 minutes. Pros: OTP offers more amenities and international links; BBU can be quicker for some north-side arrivals and quicker boarding. Cons: OTP may be busier and farther out for some neighborhoods; BBU has fewer facilities and limited long-haul options.
