Nizhniy Novgorod’s main air gateway, Strigino Airport (GOJ), functions as a regional international hub serving domestic routes and seasonal flights to Europe and the CIS. It typically handles a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-tier depending on season and carrier. The airport sits about 28–30 km southwest of the city center; taxi rides usually take 30–50 minutes, while Aeroexpress-style rail or bus connections can take roughly 40–60 minutes with fares generally modest. Pros: compact terminal, straightforward transfers and regular services; cons: limited late-night options and fewer long-haul connections compared with larger Russian hubs.

Saransk is served by Saransk Airport (SKX), a small regional facility that typically handles domestic flights and seasonal connections rather than acting as a major international hub. Carriers operating here are usually regional or low-cost airlines and charter services, so fares can often be competitive for short-haul travel. The airport lies roughly 7–10 km east of the city center; taxis and private transfers take about 15–25 minutes depending on traffic, while local buses and marshrutkas may take 25–35 minutes for a lower fare. Pros include short walking distances and a compact terminal for quick arrivals and departures; cons can be limited flight frequency, few on-site amenities, and restricted onward international connections.
