Riga International Airport (RIX) is Latvia’s main gateway and typically functions as a regional hub for international and intra-European services rather than a large intercontinental hub. It commonly hosts full-service and low-cost carriers, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-tier depending on season and carrier mix. The airport sits about 10 km (roughly 15–25 minutes) south of Riga city centre; taxis and ride-hailing usually take that long and can be moderately priced, while public buses and shuttle coaches take around 30–40 minutes with inexpensive fares. Pros: compact terminal, direct European connections and straightforward transfers. Cons: limited late-night options and fewer long-haul services compared with major Western hubs.
Tehran is served mainly by two airports with different roles. Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) is the primary international gateway and hub for most long-haul and full-service carriers; it lies about 30–50 km southwest of central Tehran, typically a 45–75 minute drive depending on traffic, with private taxis and airport shuttles as common options. Mehrabad Airport (THR) functions largely as a domestic and regional airport for budget and legacy Iranian carriers and sits much closer, roughly 8–15 km west of the city center—often a 20–40 minute taxi ride. Ground transport fares can vary; expect higher costs for fast private transfers and lower fares for shared shuttles or public buses. Pros: IKA usually offers more international connections and modern facilities, while Mehrabad is generally more convenient for domestic travelers due to shorter transfer times. Cons: both can be affected by Tehran’s heavy traffic, and ticket and transfer prices may vary with demand.
