Riga Airport (RIX) serves as Latvia’s primary international gateway and typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, making it a common choice for both business and leisure travel. The airport is about 10 km (roughly 15–25 minutes) from Riga city center; travelers can use regular bus services and airport shuttles (around 30–60 minutes depending on connections) or taxis and ride-hailing for a faster trip at higher cost. Car rental is also widely available. Fares and service levels can vary — budget carriers often offer lower headline prices while full-service airlines include extras — and passengers may trade convenience for savings when choosing different operators. The airport is compact and generally straightforward to navigate, though peak times can bring queues at security and check-in.
Sofia Airport (SOF) is Bulgaria’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season.

Public transport options include Metro Line M4 (inexpensive, around 1–2 EUR) and city buses/shuttles; airport taxis and ride-hailing are more convenient but cost more. Pros: compact layout, modern terminals and decent connection choices. Cons: peak-hour queues and occasional crowds can affect comfort and speed.
