Route on the map
When to fly
The weeks immediately before and after July are the natural shoulder period on this route, and July itself is the cheapest month in the available fare data. Because July sits in the Greek summer and the Romanian holiday season, the cheapest fares may disappear first on popular dates. October and November are the late-year options in the fare data, while May, June, August and September also have priced flights. Weekday departures are worth checking against weekend ones, and school holidays can change prices without changing the route.
Airlines and what to expect
Direct flights operate on this route, and several listed carriers also sell connecting itineraries that add a change of plane and extra travel time. Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost names in the list, usually with bags and seats priced separately, while Austrian, Olympic Air, Sky Express, Edelweiss Air and Scandinavian Airlines are network or leisure carriers whose fares often include more. Eurowings and Eurowings Discover sit between those models, so the fare rules matter as much as the headline price. Compare what each ticket includes, especially on a route where both a nonstop and a one-stop option may be shown.
Arriving — Bucharest
You land at Otopeni International, which sits outside Bucharest to the north rather than in the city centre. The usual ways into town are taxi, ride-hailing, airport bus or rail, with the choice depending on your luggage and arrival time. Allow extra time after landing for passport control and baggage collection, and confirm your terminal before you travel. Otopeni International is the main international gateway for Bucharest, so onward transport is straightforward but not instant.
