Kurumoch International Airport (KUF) serves Samara as the city’s main international and long-haul gateway, typically handling a mix of full-service carriers and regional airlines with occasional low-cost options. Located roughly 35 km northeast of the city center, transfers can be made by bus or shared shuttle in about 50–70 minutes, or by taxi in around 35–50 minutes depending on traffic; public buses and airport shuttles usually cost modest fares while taxis are pricier. The airport is generally seen as functional for international connections and regional flights, offering basic passenger facilities; it can be convenient for onward travel but may involve longer transfer times and fewer carrier choices than larger hubs.

Ulan-Ude’s airport (UUD) functions as a regional gateway rather than a major international hub, handling mainly domestic flights and a handful of seasonal or charter services. Carriers operating here are typically Russian regional airlines and a few national carriers, so fares can be relatively affordable compared with larger hubs but may rise on busy dates. The airport sits about 12–16 km southeast of the city center; taxis take roughly 25–35 minutes depending on traffic, while local buses and shuttle vans can take 35–50 minutes for a lower fare. Pros: compact terminals and straightforward procedures make connections simple. Cons: limited amenities, fewer direct international routes, and less frequent public transport late at night.
