Bucharest Henri Coanda (still commonly referred to as Bucharest Otopeni Airport) is the largest and busiest airport in Rumania. The airport is currently undergoing large-scale redevelopment that will improve facilities and increase capacity. There is a good choice of shops, bars and restaurants.
Affordable airfares from low-cost airlines mean the lively Rumanian capital is starting to draw attention from better-known Eastern European cities like Prague and Berlin. Bucharest Henri Coanda Airport is a short 11 mile bus trip from the city centre.
Direct flights from London Luton are available with low-cost airlines Wizz Air and Blue Air. The airport is a major hub for both airlines. British Airways and Tarom operate much more expensive scheduled flights from London Heathrow. Finding a flight from outside London is more complicated. Almost all flights from outside London will be indirect and considerably more expensive. Airlines offering indirect flights include germanwings, Pegasus, KLM, British Airways, Lufthansa and TAP.
