Riga International Airport (RIX) is Latvia’s main international gateway and typically serves as the country’s primary hub for full-service carriers and a growing roster of low-cost airlines. It sits about 10 km (roughly 20–30 minutes) south of the city center, making it relatively quick to reach. Ground options usually include frequent buses and shuttles (about 30–50 minutes depending on stops, low single-digit euro fares), taxis or ride-hailing (20–30 minutes, fares vary), and some private transfer services. Travelers can expect a compact, modern terminal with useful amenities, often convenient for connections but sometimes busier during peak seasons; budget flyers may find competitive fares while peak travel can be pricier.
Thessaloniki Airport (SKG) serves as northern Greece’s main international gateway and typically functions as a mid-sized hub for both full-service and low-cost carriers, including Aegean, Olympic Air partners, and several European budget airlines. It is located about 15 km east of the city centre, with travel times to downtown usually around 20–40 minutes depending on traffic. Ground connections include express buses and taxis—bus fares are commonly modest while taxi rides can be noticeably higher, especially at night—and renting a car is straightforward. Advantages include a compact, easy-to-navigate terminal and frequent seasonal routes; drawbacks can include occasional congestion during peak summer months and fewer long-haul options than larger European hubs.
