Irkutsk International Airport (IKT) serves as the main air gateway to Irkutsk and the Lake Baikal region, typically functioning as a regional international hub rather than a large global transfer center. It commonly handles flights from Aeroflot, S7, Pobeda and several domestic carriers, with occasional seasonal international connections. The airport sits roughly 18–20 km northwest of the city center; road transfers by taxi or rideshare can take about 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, while public buses and minibuses often require 40–60 minutes for a lower fare. Pros include a compact layout and straightforward arrivals, whereas cons can be limited international amenities and variable peak‑time queues. Overall it’s a practical choice for travelers to Irkutsk and nearby destinations.

Kansai International Airport (KIX) serves as Osaka’s main international gateway and a regional hub for long-haul and many full-service carriers, while also hosting some low-cost airlines. Located on an artificial island about 50 km (roughly 50–60 minutes) from central Osaka, it’s commonly perceived as mid-range to premium in price for flights. Ground access includes the JR/Haruka express and Nankai lines (50–70 minutes, fares typically in the mid-range), airport limousine buses to central districts (60–90 minutes, fares vary), and taxis (faster but considerably costlier). Pros: full-service facilities, many international connections and baggage-friendly options. Cons: longer transfer times to the city and occasional extra cost for taxis and transfers. Itami/Osaka International Airport (ITM) is Osaka’s primary domestic airport, typically favored by business and budget-conscious domestic travelers and served mainly by Japanese carriers and short-haul low-cost flights. Sitting about 10 km north of downtown Osaka, travel times to the city center are short — generally 15–30 minutes by airport limousine bus or about 30 minutes by taxi — with fares usually modest compared with international transfers. Pros: quick city access, frequent domestic schedules and lower ground-transfer costs. Cons: limited international routes and smaller international facilities, so travelers connecting abroad often use Kansai International instead.
