Major Russian carriers and several low-cost or regional airlines usually operate here, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid‑range depending on season and route. The airport sits about 35–45 km northwest of Samara city center; travel options include suburban trains (roughly 30–50 minutes), regular airport buses and taxis (around 40–60 minutes), with fares spanning inexpensive bus tickets to higher taxi or rideshare rates. Pros: fairly comprehensive services and direct connections; cons: a longer transfer to downtown and occasional peak-time congestion.
