Nizhny Novgorod (Strigino) Airport functions as the region’s main international gateway while also handling a mix of domestic and low-cost services, so you can expect carriers ranging from Russian flag and regional airlines to budget operators. Fares to and from Strigino can be competitive compared with Moscow connections, though prices vary by season. The airport lies about 25 km southwest of the city center; travel options include Aeroexpress-style rail shuttles and regional buses taking roughly 30–50 minutes, taxis and ride‑hail services typically 30–45 minutes depending on traffic.

Bucharest is served mainly by Henri Coandă International (OTP), the primary international hub located about 16–18 km north of the city center, and Aurel Vlaicu/Băneasa (BBU), a smaller airport near the northern neighborhoods often used for low-cost or business flights. OTP typically handles full-service carriers and many international connections, while BBU can be favored by budget airlines and private traffic; fares from each can vary accordingly. From OTP, the express train or bus to the center takes roughly 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, with tickets usually low-cost; taxis and ride-shares are common and can be more expensive. BBU is closer — around 8–10 km — and reachable by bus or short taxi rides in 15–25 minutes. Pros: OTP offers more amenities and international links; BBU can be quicker for some north-side arrivals and quicker boarding. Cons: OTP may be busier and farther out for some neighborhoods; BBU has fewer facilities and limited long-haul options.
