Samara Kurumoch Airport (KUF) is the main international gateway for Samara and the surrounding region, typically handling a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost or regional operators. Located about 35–45 km northeast of Samara city center, transfer times can be roughly 35–60 minutes by car depending on traffic; shared shuttles, intercity buses, and taxis are common options with fares typically ranging from modest bus ticket prices to higher taxi rates. The airport usually offers basic passenger amenities and several ground-transport points, making it a practical choice for most travelers, though the distance from the center and limited late-night services can be minor drawbacks for tight connections or late arrivals.

Chicago is served primarily by two major airports with distinct roles. O’Hare International (ORD) is the city’s main international and connecting hub, typically hosting full-service carriers and extensive global routes; fares here can be competitive for long-haul travel. It lies about 17–18 miles northwest of downtown Chicago, with transit options including the CTA Blue Line (roughly 45–60 minutes), airport shuttles and taxis (30–60 minutes depending on traffic) and ride-shares—expect variable fares. Pros: broad flight choice and frequent departures; cons: can be busy with longer transfer times. Midway (MDW) functions as a smaller, more budget-lean domestic airport, favored by low-cost and leisure carriers. Midway sits about 10 miles southwest of downtown, reachable by the CTA Orange Line (about 25–35 minutes), shuttle services and taxis/ride-shares (20–45 minutes); fares tend to be lower on short domestic hops. Pros: quicker check-in and closer to the city for some neighborhoods; cons: fewer international connections and smaller lounge/amenity selection.
