Nizhniy Novgorod’s main airport (Strigino, GOJ) acts as the region’s international gateway while also handling many domestic connections, so you’ll find a mix of legacy carriers and low-cost or regional airlines operating typical routes. It sits about 30–35 km southwest of the city center; road transfers by taxi or rideshare usually take 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, with fares commonly ranging from budget local rates up to moderate metro prices. A public bus and fixed-route minibuses connect to the city over roughly 50–70 minutes at lower cost, and occasional rail or airport shuttle options can be available. Pros: straightforward layout and a range of carrier choices; cons: distance from downtown and variable transfer times during peak hours.

Lyon is served primarily by Lyon–Saint-Exupéry (LYS), the city’s international hub that handles most long-haul and full-service carrier traffic, and by the smaller Lyon–Bron/other regional fields that cater mainly to general aviation and some business flights. Saint-Exupéry sits about 20–25 km east of the city center; travel time by Rhônexpress tram is typically around 25–30 minutes with fares usually in the low-to-mid single-digit euros, while taxis and ride-shares can take 30–45 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. The airport often hosts legacy carriers and several low-cost airlines on regional routes, so fares can range widely.
