Manchester Airport (MAN) is the region’s primary international hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines and serving long-haul and European routes. It typically offers a wide range of connections, and fares can be competitive compared with London airports. The airport lies about 14 miles (22 km) south of Manchester city centre: road transfers by car or taxi generally take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, with typical fares from mid-range local taxis to higher private-transfer rates. The efficient rail link (the TransPennine/Manchester Airport train) reaches the city in roughly 15–20 minutes and can be a budget-friendly option. Pros: frequent services, good amenities, and multiple terminal facilities. Cons: can be busy at peak times and transfer times vary with traffic.
Riga Airport (RIX) is Latvia’s main international gateway and typically serves as the country’s primary hub for full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines, so you’ll find a mix of premium and budget options. It’s located about 10 km (roughly 15–25 minutes by car depending on traffic) southeast of the city center; taxis and ride-hailing are common and can be moderate in price, while the airport bus (routes 22 and 222) links to central stops in around 25–40 minutes for a low fare. Car rental and private transfers are widely available, and cycling can be an option in summer. Pros: compact terminal with straightforward connections and reasonable transit times to downtown; cons: fewer long-haul nonstop choices than larger European hubs and peak-season queues can form at security or check-in.
