Riga International Airport (RIX) is Latvia’s main international gateway and typically functions as a regional hub rather than a large global transfer point. It usually hosts a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-market depending on season and carrier. The airport lies about 10 km (roughly 20–30 minutes) from Riga city centre; travelers commonly choose the direct bus or shuttle services (about €1–€3 for public bus, slightly more for private shuttles), taxis (20–30 minutes, fares vary), or ride-hailing apps. Pros include compact terminals and relatively short transfer times; cons can be limited late-night services and fewer long-haul connections compared with major European hubs.

Moscow is served by several major airports that split roles between international hubs and more budget- or domestic-focused fields. Sheremetyevo (SVO) typically functions as the primary international gateway and hub for full-service carriers, sitting about 29–35 km northwest of the city center; Aeroexpress trains take roughly 35–45 minutes to central stations and fares are usually mid-range, while taxis can be faster depending on traffic. Domodedovo (DME) often handles a mix of international and long-haul flights and is roughly 42–45 km south of central Moscow; rail and express bus connections run about 45–60 minutes. Vnukovo (VKO) can be a convenient option for some international and low-cost services, located some 28–30 km southwest and reachable by Aeroexpress or road in roughly 30–50 minutes. Zhukovsky (ZIA) is commonly used for charter and low-cost carriers and sits farther out, typically adding longer transfer times and variable transport options. Pros across the network include a wide choice of airlines and frequencies; cons can be long transfer distances, traffic-dependent taxi times, and occasional variability in transport fares and schedules.
