Bucharest has two airports.

The oldest and closest to the city, Baneasa Airport (tel.: 9371), serves low cost companies (serving flights to Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, the UK, Hungary, Slovakia and Austria - of which BlueAir is the biggest one, BBU based), charters going to Turkey and Greece, as well as CarpatAir (domestic flights with a connection to many European cities through TSR).

Built in 1971, Otopeni Airport (tel.: (021)2041000), located 10 km.

further on the road to Ploiesti, still serves most of the flights.

Tarom is the Romanian national airline carrier.

Both Baneasa and Otopeni airports are served by bus #783 (that runs every 15 minutes on weekdays and every 30 minutes on weekends, it works with 2 rides cards bought from the aluminium RATB kiosks; it goes on the following route: Otopeni – Baneasa – the Arch of Triumph – Victory Square - Romana Square – University Square – Unirea Square), while Baneasa is also served by regular city buses (that work on regular tickets bought from the same kiosks), # 131 and 301 from Romana Square.

The bus station in Otopeni Airport lies as you exit the domestic arrivals terminal to the right (from the international arrivals terminal, take the elevator or the mechanical stairs down to the ground level).

In front of the international arrivals terminal there are only taxis belonging to TaxiFly which are allowed to wait there.

They charge almost 3 times more than a regular taxi (ROL 200000 / km.

Look for reputable companies such as CrisTaxi, Cobalcescu, Meridian, Getax, Leone, Rodell, Dixie, Apolodor, they usually lie down the parking lot from the arrivals terminal in Otopeni and across the street from Baneasa Airport.

A ride from Otopeni to the centre should never go over the equivalent of EUR 8-9.
