Kurumoch International Airport (KUF) serves as Samara’s main international and domestic gateway and typically handles both full-service carriers and several low-cost or regional airlines. Located about 40–50 km northeast of the city center, travel time by road can be roughly 40–60 minutes depending on traffic; public buses, shuttles and Aeroexpress-style bus services connect the airport with central Samara for modest fares, while taxis and ride-hailing are quicker but costlier. As the larger and more convenient option, Kurumoch can be more comfortable for international connections and offers traditional airport facilities; however, the distance from downtown and occasional peak-hour traffic can add time and expense compared with smaller local airfields.

Fly direct from Samara to Chelyabinsk for the fastest, most convenient way to reach your destination — fewer hassles, no long layovers, and more time for what matters. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop flight saves hours and delivers a more comfortable, stress-free journey, making it a smart choice for business or leisure travel.

Chelyabinsk Airport (IATA: CEK) serves as the main regional gateway for Chelyabinsk Oblast and typically handles a mix of domestic services and a few international charters. It is usually served by Russian carriers such as Aeroflot, S7 and Ural Airlines alongside smaller regional operators, and fares can often be perceived as mid-range for domestic trips. The airport lies about 18 km northeast of Chelyabinsk city centre; travel by taxi usually takes 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and can cost the equivalent of a modest local fare, while fixed-route minibuses and occasional shuttle buses offer cheaper options in roughly the same time. Pros: functional terminals and straightforward transfers; cons: limited long-haul connections and amenities compared with larger national hubs.
