Irkutsk International Airport (IKT) serves as the main gateway to Eastern Siberia and is typically positioned as a regional international hub rather than a low-cost outpost. You’ll usually find a mix of full-service Russian carriers and some seasonal international or domestic budget operators, so fares can vary from budget-friendly to midrange depending on season and routing. The airport lies about 60–70 km northwest of Irkutsk city center; transfer options include direct marshrutka minibuses or regional buses (roughly 1.5–2 hours), taxis (about 1–1.5 hours depending on traffic) and occasional private shuttles — expect fare ranges from modest bus prices to higher taxi rates. Pros: direct access for Lake Baikal travelers and straightforward domestic connections; cons: longer transfer times to the city and basic terminal amenities compared with larger international hubs.

Beijing is served primarily by Beijing Capital International (PEK) and Beijing Daxing International (PKX), with Capital traditionally acting as the long-established international hub and Daxing positioned as a modern mega-hub handling a growing mix of full-service and low-cost carriers. Domestic budget flights often use both airports depending on routes, while many international connections are concentrated at Capital (though Daxing has expanded intercontinental services). Capital lies about 25–30 km northeast of the city center and Daxing about 45–50 km to the south; subway and express train options connect both in roughly 30–60 minutes depending on origin, with fares typically ranging from modest metro prices up to mid-range express train fees. Taxis and ride-hailing are convenient but can be slower during peak traffic and cost more; airport shuttles provide budget-friendly transfers. Capital can feel more familiar and compact, whereas Daxing is newer and more spacious—both offer comprehensive services but require planning for transit time given Beijing’s size.
