The Riga — Bucharest route is served by multiple airlines, including airBaltic, Norwegian Air International, and Ryanair. This is convenient for those who want the best balance of price, schedule, and travel conditions. Tickets start from $54, and depending on season and promotions, even better deals may appear.

Bucharest is served mainly by Henri Coandă (OTP), the country’s primary international gateway located about 16–20 km north of the city centre; it typically handles full-service carriers alongside many low-cost airlines and can be slightly pricier than the smaller airport. Transfer options include the express train or regional trains (around 20–30 minutes, low fares), shuttle buses and taxis (30–45 minutes depending on traffic, moderate fares), and rideshares. Pros: wider flight choice and more services; cons: can be busy and a bit farther from central Bucharest. A smaller domestic/base for budget services, Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU), sits much closer—roughly 8 km—and is often used for charters and some low-cost flights, offering quick transfers by taxi or short rideshare (10–20 minutes) but with fewer amenities and limited scheduled routes.
Riga International Airport (RIX) serves as Latvia’s main international gateway and typically functions as a regional hub for full-service and low-cost carriers alike, including national airline services and several budget operators. The airport lies about 10 km southeast of the city center, with frequent bus and shuttle connections taking roughly 20–30 minutes (tickets commonly cost modestly) and taxis or ride-hailing trips taking 15–25 minutes depending on traffic, usually at higher fares. RIX is relatively compact, so transfers can be straightforward and comfortable, though peak times may see queues at security or passport control. For travelers prioritizing convenience and a fairly wide choice of routes, it is usually the most practical option for reaching Riga.
