Irkutsk International Airport (IKT) is the main air gateway for eastern Siberia and typically serves as a regional hub for full-service carriers and several domestic airlines; you’ll also find seasonal and low-cost connections. The airport lies about 50 km (roughly 45–60 minutes by car depending on traffic) from Irkutsk city centre, with fixed-route buses and shared shuttles taking around 1–1.5 hours for a lower fare, while taxis or private transfers are faster and more expensive. Facilities are basic but functional, and check-in/security queues can be busy at peak times. Pros: direct links to Lake Baikal region and decent airline choice; cons: distance to town and limited late-night services.

Novosibirsk is served mainly by Tolmachevo Airport (OVB), the city’s international hub that typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and regional/budget airlines, and can be busier and pricier than smaller domestic fields. The airport lies about 17–20 km west of the city center; travel options include Aeroexpress-like rail or suburban train (roughly 30–40 minutes), regular city buses and marshrutkas (45–60 minutes), and taxis (20–40 minutes depending on traffic), with fares usually ranging from modest local-bus fares to moderate taxi rates. Pros: fairly comprehensive international connections and modern terminals; cons: can be crowded during peak seasons and transfers may add time to itineraries.
