The cheapest itinerary we are tracking flies Wizz Air Malta nonstop and takes about 3.5 hours outbound, on a 4-night trip. At $64 for 2,081 km each way, that works out to about $15 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $41 that short-haul fares on this board typically run. Of the 9 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Bucharest, this is the cheapest right now — 26% under the next one, Brussels. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 9 routes of similar length we watch out of London, where the middle fare is $67. We have 3 months of cached prices for this route so far — not enough to call a fare cheap or expensive, so we publish the price without a percentage.

LON → OTP, answered.
How far in advance should I book LON → Bucharest?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for the levers we can measure.
Are there nonstop flights from London to Bucharest?
Yes — the current board includes nonstop fares (Wizz Air Malta). The outbound leg runs around 3.5 hours.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
