Irkutsk International Airport (IKT) serves as the main gateway to Eastern Siberia and usually functions as a regional international hub rather than a large global transfer point. It typically handles flights from Aeroflot, S7, and several domestic carriers plus seasonal charters to nearby resorts and Lake Baikal, with fares that can be mid-range for Russia but may rise during peak travel times. The airport sits about 52 km (roughly 1–1.5 hours by car) from central Irkutsk; options include shuttle buses and shared taxis (around 1–2 hours depending on traffic) and private transfers or taxis that are faster but costlier. Facilities are straightforward with basic shops and lounges; travelers can expect functional comfort and generally easy navigation, though connections may be limited and winter weather can occasionally affect schedules.
Harbin Taiping International Airport (HRB) serves as the main international gateway for Heilongjiang province and typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and several low-cost/seasonal routes, especially during winter festival peaks. Located about 37–40 km south of central Harbin, transfer times are usually 40–60 minutes by taxi and around 50–70 minutes via airport shuttle or bus; fares can range from modest fixed bus fees to higher taxi fares depending on traffic. The airport offers basic international and domestic facilities with occasional crowds during holiday periods; it can be a convenient choice for direct flights but may require extra time for transfers and winter-weather delays. Public buses, airport shuttles, taxis and private transfers are the main options.
