Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN) functions as a regional-to-international gateway for the Rhine-Ruhr area, often balancing low-cost and legacy carriers — Ryanair, Eurowings and occasional long-haul or charter services are common. It’s generally perceived as cost-competitive compared with larger German hubs, especially for budget and point-to-point routes. The airport sits about 15 km southeast of Cologne city center; the S-Bahn and regional trains take around 15–20 minutes to Hauptbahnhof with fares typically in the low single-digit euros, while taxis and ride-shares can take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. Pros: compact layout, short transfer times and frequent low-cost options. Cons: limited long-haul connectivity and peak-time congestion at security or check-in.
Riga Airport (RIX) is Latvia’s main international gateway and typically serves as the country’s primary hub for full-service and low-cost carriers alike, including airBaltic and several budget lines.

Ground connections include frequent bus and minibus shuttles taking roughly 20–30 minutes (low single-digit fares), taxis or ride-hailing services at around 15–25 minutes depending on traffic, and car rental desks on-site. Pros: compact terminal, efficient transfers and good connectivity across the Baltics; cons: can be busy during peak summer months and has limited late-night service options.
