Cheap Flights from Nizhniy Novgorod to Irkutsk — $150

Nizhniy Novgorod is served primarily by Strigino International Airport (GOJ), which functions as the region’s main international and domestic hub rather than a low-cost base. It typically handles flights from Aeroflot, S7, Ural Airlines and some seasonal carriers, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-priced depending on route and season. The airport lies about 25–30 km southwest of the city center; road transfer by taxi or ride-hail usually takes around 30–50 minutes (fares commonly fall in a modest local range), while public buses and shuttle services can take 40–60 minutes at lower cost. Pros: direct connections and basic passenger services; cons: transfer time to downtown can be significant and peak-hour traffic may add delays.
