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 base. It commonly handles a mix of full-service Russian carriers and some seasonal or regional operators, with fares often perceived as mid-range to premium for long-haul connections. The airport lies about 50 km (roughly 30 miles) northwest of Irkutsk city center; transfers commonly take 40–60 minutes by taxi or private car, and around 60–90 minutes by public bus, with taxi fares generally higher than bus tickets. Pros include a relatively compact terminal and direct links to nearby Lake Baikal; cons can be limited frequency on some international routes and seasonal variations in services.
Cape Town International is the city’s main international gateway and typically serves as a full-service hub for both legacy airlines and several regional carriers, while smaller domestic flights may operate out of secondary terminals. It’s located about 20–25 km from the city centre, with road transfers usually taking 20–40 minutes depending on traffic; metered taxis and ride-hailing services are common, and shuttle buses or airport coaches can be cheaper options for roughly moderate fares. Car hire desks are onsite for flexible onward travel. The airport can feel busy during peak season but generally offers a wide range of facilities; for travellers prioritising speed and local access, traffic variability is the main downside, whereas international connectivity is a clear advantage.
