Riga Airport (RIX) is Latvia’s main international gateway and typically serves as the country’s busiest hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and a growing number of low-cost airlines. Located about 10 km southeast of the city center, transfers usually take 15–25 minutes by taxi and around 20–30 minutes by express bus; fares for public buses are modest, while taxis can be noticeably more expensive depending on time and traffic. The airport is generally seen as efficient and compact, making connections straightforward, though peak times can feel busy. Pros: convenient location and good onward connections; cons: limited late-night services and fewer lounge options compared with larger European hubs.
Kaunas Airport (KUN) is Lithuania’s second-largest airport, typically serving as a regional and low-cost gateway rather than a full international hub. Budget carriers and seasonal charters commonly operate here, so fares can often be competitive compared with Vilnius, especially for point-to-point leisure routes. The airport sits about 14 km (roughly 20–30 minutes) from Kaunas city centre; taxis and ride-hailing are available and usually cost in the low double-digit euros, while buses link the airport to the centre in around 30–40 minutes with modest ticket prices. Travellers generally find Kaunas convenient and easy to navigate, though it has fewer flight frequencies and transfer options than larger capitals, which can mean fewer last-minute choices.
