Volgograd International Airport (Gumrak) serves as the main air gateway to Volgograd and typically functions as a regional/international hub rather than a large global connector. It usually handles a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers operating domestic flights to Moscow and St. Petersburg and seasonal or charter services to nearby countries. The airport lies about 15–20 km northwest of the city center; road transfer times are typically 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, with taxis and ride-hailing commonly used (fares can vary) and occasional shuttle buses offering cheaper transfers. Pros: compact terminals and straightforward navigation make connections comfortable; cons: fewer long-haul options and limited late-night services can affect flexibility.

Bucharest is served mainly by Henri Coandă International (OTP), the country’s primary international gateway located about 16–18 km north of the city center. It functions as a full-service hub for national and many European carriers alongside several low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. Travel to the city center typically takes 30–45 minutes by car or taxi; express train connections run in roughly 20–30 minutes with moderate fares, while buses and Metro links offer cheaper, slower options. Pros: broader flight choice and frequent connections; cons: can be busy, and transfer times vary by traffic and terminal. A smaller option is Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU), historically a domestic and low-cost airport situated roughly 8 km north of downtown. It’s typically used by regional and budget carriers and can be perceived as more cost-effective for short-haul flights, though offerings are more limited than at OTP. Ground transfer is usually quick — around 15–25 minutes by taxi or rideshare — with some public bus routes also available at lower fares. Pros: convenient proximity to the city and shorter transfer times; cons: fewer long-haul services and more limited facilities compared with the main international airport.
