Riga International Airport (RIX) is Latvia’s primary international gateway and typically functions as a regional hub for full-service carriers and a busy base for low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. The airport sits about 10 km (roughly 20–30 minutes) from Riga city centre; regular options include shuttle buses and public buses (about €1–€3), taxis or ride-hailing (approximately €10–€20), and occasional private transfers. Check-in and immigration queues are generally efficient outside peak travel windows. Pros: compact terminal, frequent low-cost connections and quick transfers to the city; cons: can get crowded at peak times and fewer long-haul amenities than larger European hubs.

London is served by several airports that cater to different passenger needs. Heathrow is the city’s main international hub, typically used by full-service carriers and a growing number of long-haul flights; it is about 25 km west of central London and reachable by the Heathrow Express (15–20 minutes, premium fares), the Piccadilly Line tube (50–60 minutes, lower cost), and taxis or rideshares (variable time and cost). Gatwick often functions as a major alternative for both legacy and low-cost airlines; it sits roughly 45 km south of the city and is commonly reached by the Gatwick Express (30 minutes), commuter rail (35–50 minutes) or coach services (longer but cheaper). Stansted and Luton are typically budget-focused airports serving many low-cost carriers; Stansted is around 65 km northeast and connected by Stansted Express (45 minutes) or coach, while Luton lies about 55 km northwest with shuttle buses and regional trains linking to central London (travel times vary). London City Airport targets business travelers with a convenient location in the Docklands, about 11 km east of the City — it’s often the quickest for central business districts via DLR (10–20 minutes) and short taxi rides. Pros across the network include wide route choice and frequent services; cons can be transfer complexity between airports, peak-time congestion, and generally higher fares from the closest airports. Public transport is usually the most economical option, while express services and taxis offer speed and convenience for higher cost.
