Riga International Airport (RIX) is Latvia’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, making it the primary choice for most international and regional flights. Located about 10 km (roughly 15–25 minutes by car) southeast of the city center, transfers usually include taxis, shared rides, and a frequent public bus/rail link; expect public transit fares to be modest while taxi rides can be noticeably higher. The airport is compact and generally easy to navigate, so connections and short layovers can be convenient, though peak times may feel crowded and on-site dining can be pricier than in the city. For budget travelers, RIX can offer competitive fares thanks to its regular low-cost services, while business travelers will find enough amenities for short waits.

Pros: relatively quick access to the city and a compact terminal that can be easy to navigate.
