Cheap flights from Santiago de Compostela to Bucharest

Fly from Galicia to Romania from €165 return with Wizz Air Malta. Median price sits at €165, so now is the time to book. Includes one stopover, so plan for longer travel time but at a very competitive rate.

Price and when to book

The lowest price we found is €165 return. Median price is also €165, with some flights up to €185. The earlier you book, the better: these budget routes sell out fast. Aim to reserve 6–8 weeks in advance to secure the best fares.

Airline and stopovers

You'll travel with Wizz Air Malta, the Maltese subsidiary of the Hungarian budget carrier. Your flight includes 1 stopover, so it's not direct: you'll have an intermediate stop. Check your booking for the stopover location and duration to plan your luggage accordingly.

Best time to visit

Bucharest is worth visiting year-round. Autumn (September–November) offers mild weather and fewer crowds than summer. Winter is cold but the city looks festive. Spring (April–May) is ideal: pleasant temperatures and blooming parks. Skip July–August if you prefer fewer tourists and better pricing.

What to do when you arrive

You'll land at Otopeni (OTP), Bucharest's international airport. The old town blends Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian and Communist architecture. Must-see: the Palace of Parliament (the world's second-largest building), Stavropolia Church and walks through Lipscani. Try local food: ciorba de burtă and mici (meat rolls). The metro is quick and cheap from the airport to the city centre.

FAQ

What's the cheapest price from Santiago to Bucharest?

€165 return is the lowest we found. The median price matches that, so it's a solid deal right now. Book as soon as possible to lock in fares.

Is the flight direct or does it have stopovers?

It has 1 stopover, not direct. That means longer total travel time, but the price makes up for it. Check your booking for the stopover location and how long you'll spend there.

Which airline am I flying with?

Wizz Air Malta, the Maltese branch of the Hungarian Wizz Air group (a trusted low-cost carrier on European routes). Luggage is affordable if you need to check a bag.

What should I see in Bucharest in a few days?

The Palace of Parliament is essential, the old town (Lipscani) with its cafes, Stavropolia Church and the Martyrs' Monument. Three days cover the basics well. Bucharest also works as a base for day trips to Brașov or Sinaia if you extend your stay.
