Riga International Airport (RIX) serves as Latvia’s main international gateway and typically functions as a regional hub for full-service and low-cost carriers alike, including AirBaltic and several European budget airlines. Flights can be competitively priced compared with Western Europe, though fares vary by season and carrier. The airport lies about 10 km (roughly 20–30 minutes) southeast of Riga city centre; travel options include frequent buses and shuttles (about €1–€5), taxis (approximately €10–€20) and ride-hailing services, while car rentals are widely available. Pros: compact terminal, efficient security and good connection options for onward travel. Cons: can be busy during peak tourist periods and offers fewer long-haul connections than larger European hubs.
