Samara is served primarily by Kurumoch International Airport (KUF), the region’s main international hub that handles a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers on domestic and select international routes. Kurumoch sits about 40–45 km northeast of Samara city center; transfer options include regular Aeroexpress-style trains or regional rail (roughly 35–50 minutes), intercity buses and marshrutkas (1–1.5 hours), and taxis or rideshares (40–60 minutes) with fares varying by mode and time of day. The airport can be relatively more economical for direct regional connections compared with flying via larger western hubs, while offering decent passenger facilities but sometimes longer surface transfers. A smaller municipal airfield closer to town may handle private flights or charters, trading convenience for fewer scheduled services.

Nizhniy Novgorod is served primarily by Strigino Airport (GOJ), the city’s international gateway and regional hub handling scheduled flights to Moscow, other Russian cities and some seasonal international routes.

The airport lies about 25–30 km southwest of the city center; surface links include Aeroexpress-style rail and regular buses with journeys usually taking 30–50 minutes, plus taxis that can be faster but more variable in price. Pros: reasonably modern terminal facilities and direct connections to major Russian destinations; cons: fewer long-haul options and occasional crowding during peak periods.
