Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN) serves as the main international gateway for Cologne and the surrounding Rhine-Ruhr region, balancing scheduled full-service carriers with a strong presence of low-cost and charter operators. Flights can be competitively priced compared with larger hubs, especially on short-haul European routes. The airport sits about 15 km southeast of Cologne’s city centre; taxi rides typically take 20–30 minutes, regional trains and S-Bahn services around 15–20 minutes with fares usually in the low single digits to under €10, and buses may take 30–45 minutes depending on traffic. Pros: relatively compact layout, multiple low-cost options and frequent regional connections. Cons: can feel busy during peak holiday periods and fewer long-haul options than mega-hubs.

Saratov is served mainly by two airports: Gagarin Airport (Saratov Gagarin) as the larger regional hub and the smaller Central Airport used occasionally for general aviation. Gagarin typically handles most scheduled domestic and some international flights and tends to be served by Russian carriers and low-cost operators, with fares often competitive on popular routes. It sits about 10–20 km northeast of the city center; taxi rides usually take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic and can cost in the mid-range for local rates, while shared shuttles or buses may be slower but cheaper. Pros: relatively compact terminals and straightforward procedures; cons: limited long-haul options and variable service frequency compared with major hubs.
