Ulan-Ude’s Baikal International Airport (UUD) serves as the city’s main gateway and typically functions as a regional and occasional international hub rather than a major global connector. Domestic carriers such as Aeroflot and S7 often operate here alongside smaller Russian airlines, with tickets generally perceived as mid-range compared with larger Moscow gateways. The airport lies roughly 12–15 km east of the city center; taxis take about 20–40 minutes depending on traffic and can cost a modest local fare, while shared shuttles and occasional bus services offer cheaper transfers in roughly 30–50 minutes. Pros: compact layout and short walking distances; Cons: limited lounge and shopping options and fewer direct long-haul links.

Beijing is served primarily by Beijing Capital International (PEK) and the newer Beijing Daxing International (PKX), with both acting as major international hubs rather than low-cost bases. Capital traditionally handled many full-service carriers including Air China and international airlines, while Daxing has become a growing long-haul and transfer center, often used by full-service and some low-cost operators. Both airports lie outside the city core: Capital is about 30–40 km northeast of downtown (roughly 40–60 minutes by express train or taxi), and Daxing sits roughly 45–50 km to the south (about 35–60 minutes by high-speed rail or car). Public transit links include Airport Express lines, intercity trains and frequent airport buses with fares varying widely; expect moderate to premium fares for express services and lower-cost options on buses. Pros: strong connectivity and modern facilities for transfers; cons: significant travel time to central Beijing and potentially higher peak-time transfer costs.
