Barnaul’s airport, German Titov Barnaul (BAX), functions mainly as a regional and domestic gateway to Altai Krai rather than a major international hub. It typically handles flights from Russian carriers and low-cost or regional operators, so fares can be competitive compared with larger cities. The airport sits about 15–20 km northwest of Barnaul city center; travel by taxi or rideshare usually takes 20–35 minutes depending on traffic, with fares generally modest, and a local bus service can be a cheaper option taking around 40–50 minutes. Pros include compact terminals and short walking distances; cons can be limited amenities and fewer direct international connections, which may require connections via Moscow or other hubs.

Athens Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH) is Greece’s main international gateway and typically serves as the city’s full-service hub, handling most long-haul and regional carriers alongside some low-cost airlines. The airport sits about 20–35 km east of central Athens (roughly 30–45 minutes by car depending on traffic). Public options include the suburban rail/Metro line 3 (around 40 minutes to Syntagma, fares usually low) and express buses (slightly longer), while taxis and rideshares take around half an hour with fares that can vary with time of day. Pros: modern facilities, extensive connections and reliable public links; cons: can be busy during peak season and transfers to central Athens may be longer than smaller airports.
