Zurich Airport (ZRH) is Switzerland’s primary international gateway and typically serves as a major hub for full-service carriers and connecting traffic across Europe. It’s located about 10 km north of Zurich city centre, with fast train connections reaching the main station in roughly 10–15 minutes and regional buses or trams taking 20–35 minutes; fares for trains and trams are usually in the low single-digit CHF range for short trips. Taxis and ride-hailing can be convenient but are considerably more expensive. The airport tends to be viewed as efficient and comfortable, with extensive services and lounges; on the downside, it can be busy during peak times and prices for on-site parking and some dining options can be relatively high.
Bucharest is served primarily by Henri Coandă International (OTP) and the smaller Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU). Henri Coandă, located about 16–18 km north of the city center, functions as the main international hub handling full-service carriers and most long-haul and regional flights; fares here can be mid-to-high depending on season and carrier. Typical transfers include trains and express buses to Gara de Nord (roughly 20–40 minutes) or taxi/ride-hail rides (30–50 minutes) with fares varying by provider. Pros: wider airline choice and more amenities; cons: can be busy and transfer times vary with traffic. Băneasa, closer at about 8 km north, is usually used by low-cost or domestic operators and can offer cheaper ticket options but fewer facilities; local buses, taxis and short transfers (15–30 minutes) make it convenient for quick city access, though scheduled international connections are limited.
