Istanbul Airport (IST) is Turkey’s primary international hub, serving many full-service carriers and long-haul connections while also handling domestic flights. It’s located about 35–50 km north of the historic city center depending on traffic, and transfers typically take 40–60 minutes by taxi or private car; Havaist and IETT shuttle buses run to central districts in roughly 60–90 minutes with fares usually in a moderate range. The airport is modern with extensive passenger facilities, making it comfortable for international connections, though distances between terminals and to the city can add to transfer time. Pros: comprehensive services and wide route options; cons: travel times and variable traffic.
Ulan-Ude’s Baikal International Airport (UUD) functions as the city’s primary air gateway, serving a mix of domestic and some international flights and often positioning itself as a regional hub rather than a major global connector. Typical carriers include Russian domestic airlines and occasional international or charter services; fares can be modestly higher than budget regional airports but competitive for Siberian distances. The airport sits about 11–15 km southeast of the city center; taxis usually take 20–30 minutes (expect fares roughly in a low-to-mid range for local standards), while shared shuttles and occasional bus services can be slower but cheaper. Pros: relatively compact terminal and straightforward procedures; cons: limited late-night connections and fewer low-cost carrier options compared with larger hubs.
