How to get to Bucharest by plane
Connections
Bucharest has reasonable connections with most European capitals and with the largest cities in Romania, but it can be difficult to find a direct flight to Bucharest from outside of Europe. Starting June 2007, Delta Air Lines will open a direct service between Bucharest and New York city ( JFK airport). Discount air companies have been operating flights to Bucharest since 2004, but it was only in late 2006 - early 2007 that the number of such flights seriously began to grow, so at this point there are low-costs flights to various destinations in Italy, Spain, Germany, France, the UK, Hungary, Slovakia and Turkey.
Airports
Most flights, both international and domestic, land at the Henri Coanda International Airport , located in Otopeni 18 km north of the city downtown. The airport, built in 1968, underwent a massive modernization effort since the late 90's and is set to be further enlarged. It is the main hub for the Romanian flag carrier Tarom and is used by the major international airlines.
The smaller Aurel Vlaicu International Airport was used for commercial flights as early as the 1920's; its present building was finished in 1952. It is located in B?neasa, much closer to the city center than Otopeni and is used primarily by low-cost airlines: BlueAir , WizzAir , SkyEurope , Germanwings , MyAir , Alpieagles .
Unfortunately there are plans to move most discount flights to a new airport to be build over a former military airfield in Alexeni, nearly 70 km east of Bucharest.
City transfer
- The Henri Coanda Airport is relatively lacking in means of reliable transportation to downtown Bucharest. To get there travelers can choose between car rentals, taxi (Fly Taxi), limo service and public transport (bus line 783).
- Being situated in Bucharest proper, the Aurel Vlaicu airport is easily accessible, either by taxi or public transportation. Bus lines 131 and 301 connect it with Piata Romana in downtown Bucharest and bus line 205 with the Gara de Nord train station.
