Starting 17th April, Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is rolling out a direct flight to Bucharest courtesy of AnimaWings. Whether you’re off for a weekend getaway or a business trip, this new route offers a speedy, no-fuss connection between the French Riviera and Romania’s lively capital.

AnimaWings, an airline established just five years ago, will operate the route using an Airbus A220 aircraft, with the inaugural flight departing at noon on 17th April. The seasonal service is scheduled to run until 23rd October, providing a direct connection between the Côte d’Azur and the Romanian capital throughout the summer period and into autumn.

During April, flights will operate exclusively on Thursdays, while from May to October, the service will expand to include both Thursdays and Sundays. This twice-weekly frequency aims to provide flexibility for travellers planning weekend getaways to Romania – and vice versa.

Ticket prices for the direct route range from €85 to €165 depending on the travel date, with bookings available through the AnimaWings website.
