Cheap flights from Alghero to Bucharest

Summer and the winter holiday period are the expensive stretches on this route, with school holidays pushing prices up; weekends often cost more than midweek departures. Book early for those dates. Away from them, fares ease, and March comes out cheapest. If your dates are flexible, midweek travel and the shoulder months around spring and autumn usually work out better, while checking the calendar month by month helps you spot the dips.

Checked bags, seat choice and priority boarding are usually extras on the low-cost tickets, while full-service fares more often bundle a cabin bag and a checked bag. Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost names in the list, Air Serbia and ITA Airways are full-service, and Aeroitalia varies by fare. Direct flights operate on the route, and some options connect through another city. Compare what each ticket includes before you book, because the cheapest headline fare can grow once extras are added.

You land at Otopeni International, north of Bucharest city centre. The airport train and express buses run into town, and taxis and ride-hailing are available from the terminals; use the official taxi queue or a booked car. Check which terminal your flight uses, and allow extra time for passport control if you are not travelling on an EU passport. From the centre, buses and the metro cover most neighbourhoods.
