Cheap flights from Liverpool to Bucharest

The peak pricing period runs through the summer months and around December holidays, so booking earlier helps. January stands out as the cheapest month to fly this route according to available data. Spring and autumn offer moderate prices between those extremes. Weekday departures typically cost less than weekend flights when airlines adjust capacity.

Wizz Air Malta operates low-cost service on this route with basic fares that exclude checked baggage unless added separately. Wizz Air provides similar budget options alongside the Malta subsidiary. Easyjet and Jet2 also fly here as no-frills carriers where seats and hand luggage are included but extra services cost more.

Qatar Airways offers full-service connections through Doha with meals and baggage included in the base fare.

Otopeni International airport sits about twelve miles from Bucharest centre, reachable by taxi or shuttle within forty minutes depending on traffic. You should arrange ground transport before landing since rates vary widely between providers. Public buses run scheduled routes into the city throughout the day.
