Nizhniy Novgorod’s main air gateway is Strigino International Airport (GOJ), serving both domestic and a modest selection of international routes and typically functioning as the region’s primary hub rather than a low-cost-only field. The airport usually handles a mix of full-service Russian carriers and some budget operators, so fares can vary from economical to mid-range depending on season and routing. Strigino lies about 20–25 km southwest of the city center; road transfer by taxi or rideshare normally takes 30–50 minutes and can be reasonably priced, while occasional express buses or fixed-route minibuses take roughly 40–60 minutes for a lower fare. Pros: straightforward layout and regular services; cons: limited late-night connections and fewer long-haul options compared with larger Russian hubs.

Chicago is served mainly by O’Hare International (ORD) and Midway (MDW), with several smaller general aviation fields nearby. O’Hare functions as a major international and domestic hub for legacy carriers and is often where most long-haul and premium connections operate; flights here can be mid-to-higher priced relative to secondary airports. The airport sits about 17–20 miles northwest of downtown Chicago; travel options include the CTA Blue Line train (roughly 45–55 minutes, budget-friendly), taxis or rideshares (35–60 minutes depending on traffic, higher cost), and airport shuttles. Pros: extensive route network and frequent services; cons: large terminals and occasional congestion can make transfers less convenient. Midway Airport typically caters to domestic and low-cost carriers and can be a budget-friendlier alternative for travelers heading to the city’s south and southwest neighborhoods. Located about 10–12 miles southwest of the Loop, Midway is accessible via the CTA Orange Line (about 25–35 minutes) plus taxis or rideshares (20–45 minutes), with fares generally lower than long-haul transfers. Pros: smaller layout often means quicker check-in and shorter walks; cons: fewer international flights and limited long-haul options compared with O’Hare.
