Riga International Airport (RIX) is Latvia’s main international gateway and typically functions as a regional hub for full-service carriers and a base for several low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-tier depending on season. The airport sits about 10 km east of Riga city center; taxi rides usually take 15–25 minutes and can cost roughly €10–€20, while public buses and minibuses take about 20–35 minutes for a few euros. Car hire and rideshares are widely available. Pros: compact terminal, relatively fast transfers and a decent range of onward connections. Cons: peak periods can bring queues and fewer late-night options compared with larger hubs.

Saint Petersburg is served mainly by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s principal international gateway and busiest hub for full-service and low-cost carriers alike. Located about 23 km south of the historic center, it typically offers a wide mix of domestic and European connections and can be more economical than Moscow for many regional routes. Transfer options include suburban commuter trains and buses (roughly 30–45 minutes, fares usually inexpensive), taxis or ride-hailing (30–50 minutes depending on traffic, fares vary), and shuttle services to major hotels. Pros: modern terminals and frequent services; cons: peak-period congestion and potential longer transfers if coming from outskirts. Overall it’s a convenient entry point for most visitors.
