Tirana’s main gateway, Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza (TIA), functions as the country’s principal international hub and often handles both full-service and low-cost carriers, so fares can vary from budget-friendly to mid-range. The airport sits about 17 km northwest of Tirana city center; taxis typically take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and can be moderately priced, while shared shuttle buses and private transfers are common alternatives often taking 25–40 minutes. Public buses provide a cheaper, slower option with longer journeys. Pros: compact layout, fairly easy arrivals and departures for short connections. Cons: limited late-night public transport and fewer lounge or premium services compared with larger European hubs.
Bucharest is served mainly by Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP), the city’s principal international hub located about 16–18 km north of the center in Otopeni. OTP typically handles most full-service and low-cost carriers alike, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on airline and season. Ground transport options include the express bus or regional train to Gara de Nord (around 30–40 minutes), taxis or app rides (25–40 minutes depending on traffic) and airport shuttles; expect fares from modest flat-rate buses up to typical taxi meter costs. Pros: comprehensive amenities, many airline choices and frequent connections. Cons: peak-hour traffic to the city can add time, and some transfers may feel crowded.
Bucharest’s smaller Aurel Vlaicu International Airport (Băneasa, BBU) sits closer to the center—around 8 km north—and is typically oriented toward business and some low-cost flights. While its role as a major passenger hub has diminished since OTP’s expansion, Băneasa can be convenient for short transfers and quicker access to northern districts. Ground options are limited to buses, taxis or ride-hailing (roughly 20–30 minutes to central Bucharest depending on traffic); fares tend to be similar to inner-city taxi runs. Pros: shorter transfer times in light traffic and a compact terminal. Cons: fewer airlines and destinations, with more limited facilities compared to the larger airport.
