Astrakhan Narimanovo Airport (ASF) functions mainly as a regional gateway in southern Russia, handling domestic flights and a limited number of seasonal international services rather than serving as a major hub. Carriers tend to be Russian flag and regional airlines, with lower-cost and charter operations common on peak routes; fares can feel competitive for short hops. The airport lies about 15 km northwest of Astrakhan city center; taxi rides normally take 20–35 minutes depending on traffic and can cost roughly modest local fares, while a bus or shuttle offers cheaper transfers in about 30–45 minutes. Pros: compact terminal and short walks to arrivals make transfers straightforward. Cons: fewer flight choices and amenities than larger international airports can mean less flexibility and fewer on-site services.
Irkutsk International Airport (IKT) serves as the main gateway to Irkutsk and nearby Lake Baikal, functioning as a regional international hub rather than a large intercontinental connector. It typically handles a mix of domestic Russian carriers and occasional international flights, with low-cost options less common. The airport sits roughly 50 km (about 40–60 minutes by car) southeast of Irkutsk city centre; shared taxis, private transfers and occasional bus services are the usual options, with bus fares generally modest while taxis and transfers can be noticeably higher. Pros: relatively compact terminals and straightforward check-in for regional routes. Cons: limited frequency on long-haul services and fewer budget airline choices.
