The airport sits about 10 km east of Riga city centre; transfer times are usually 15–25 minutes by car depending on traffic. Public bus routes and an overnight service connect to the centre with fares commonly in the low single-digit euro range, while taxis and rideshares can be faster but cost more.

It typically handles a mix of national carriers and some international and low-cost operators on seasonal routes; fares can be competitive compared with larger Central Asian hubs. The airport lies about 6–8 km (roughly 15–25 minutes) east of Samarkand’s city center; taxis and shared minibuses are the most common options, with taxi rides generally taking 15–25 minutes and costing modest local fares, while buses/minibuses are cheaper but slower. Pros: close to the old town and relatively quick transfers; cons: limited late-night services and fewer direct long-haul connections than major hubs.
