Riga International Airport (RIX) is Latvia’s main gateway and typically functions as a regional international hub, handling a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers—often including airBaltic and several European budget airlines. It lies about 10 km south of the city center, so transfers are usually short: taxis take roughly 15–25 minutes depending on traffic, shuttle buses 20–30 minutes with modest fares, and occasional train or private transfers may be available. Prices for flights to Riga can feel moderate compared with larger Western hubs, though seasonality matters. Pros: compact terminal and straightforward arrivals make connections convenient. Cons: fewer long-haul amenities and occasional queueing during peak periods.

Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) is Israel’s main international gateway and typically serves as the primary hub for full-service carriers like El Al alongside a mix of international airlines; it can be pricier than smaller regional options but often provides more flight choices. Located roughly 20–25 km southeast of central Tel Aviv‑Yafo, travel into the city is commonly by fast train (approximately 15–25 minutes to Tel Aviv HaHagana/Hashalom stations), shared taxis or private cars (20–40 minutes depending on traffic), and regular shuttle or bus services (30–60 minutes). Train fares are moderate, buses and sheruts are usually economical, while taxis and rideshares cost more. Pros: efficient customs and a wide range of amenities and transfers; cons: security procedures can add time and peak-hour road congestion may delay surface transport.
