Uytash Airport (MCX) serves Makhachkala as the region’s main international gateway while functioning largely as a domestic hub for Dagestan and neighboring republics. It typically handles flights from Russian carriers such as Aeroflot and S7 as well as regional and low-cost operators for short-haul routes, with fares often seen as competitive compared with larger national hubs. The airport sits roughly 20–25 km southeast of Makhachkala city centre; journey times are commonly 30–50 minutes by taxi or private car depending on traffic, with local minibuses and shuttle services offering cheaper if less comfortable options. Pros: direct regional connectivity and generally shorter queues than major hubs. Cons: limited lounge and transfer facilities and fewer long-haul choices, so connections can be less convenient for international itineraries.

Guangzhou is served primarily by Guangzhou Baiyun International (CAN), the city’s major international hub handling most long-haul and regional flights, with a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines; Foshan Shadi (FUO) nearby can be used for some domestic connections and charter services. Baiyun sits about 28–35 km north of downtown and is typically reached in 30–60 minutes by metro (Line 3/airport express), taxi or airport shuttle; fares range from modest metro tickets to higher taxi fares depending on traffic. Pros: extensive route network and modern passenger facilities; cons: distance from the center and variable peak-hour congestion can add time and cost to transfers.
