All about the Bucharest – Brussels flight
The Romanian capital Bucharest has two airports: Băneasa ‘Aurel Vlaicu’ and Otopeni ‘Henri Coandă’. Băneasa Airport, located in District 1 of Bucharest, currently attracts fewer airlines, though it plans to handle more flights in the near future. For the Bucharest – Brussels route, what matters is Otopeni Airport, from where all these flights depart. The international airport Otopeni ‘Henri Coandă’ is located in Otopeni, around 16.5 km from the centre of Bucharest.
From Bucharest to the terminal doors of Otopeni Airport you can take buses 780 or 783. Travellers from Moldova arriving by train in Bucharest can catch the express service to the airport from the main railway station București Nord.
Flights Bucharest – Brussels operate 3–5 times a day. The route is served by WizzAir, Tarom, HiSky and RyanAir. Low-cost airlines WizzAir and RyanAir fly daily between Bucharest and Brussels. With discounts, tickets can be purchased from about 15 EUR one way.
HiSky flies the Bucharest – Brussels route three times per week, with one-way fares starting from around 60 EUR. Tarom is typically more expensive, with tickets from approximately 150 EUR one way, including checked baggage, and flights up to five times per week.
Direct Bucharest – Brussels flight: fast and comfortable
The direct flight Bucharest – Brussels takes about three hours. To compare: from Chișinău there are only two flights weekly to the Belgian capital, while from Bucharest 3–5 planes depart daily to the same destination. Prices will please fans of budget travel: with minimum fares you can pay around 15 EUR for a one-way ticket.
Thanks to the high frequency of flights, travellers can choose the most convenient departure time. When selecting your flight, keep in mind that WizzAir and RyanAir usually land at Charleroi, while Tarom and HiSky land at Brussels Airport.
