Ground connections are straightforward: frequent trains to Zurich HB take about 10–15 minutes with fares generally in the low-to-mid range, while trams and buses require 30–40 minutes and cost similarly; taxis ride in 20–30 minutes and can be noticeably more expensive.

Samara is served primarily by Kurumoch International Airport (KUF), a mid-sized regional hub handling most international and domestic flights and typically used by Russian flag carriers and several low-cost or charter operators. The airport sits about 35–40 km northeast of the city center; transfer options include Aeroexpress/airport train and regular buses or marshrutkas taking roughly 40–60 minutes, taxis which can be 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, and private transfers — expect a range of fares with public transport being the most economical. Kurumoch can be convenient for onward connections and often offers competitive fares, but the distance from downtown and seasonal crowds can mean longer transfers and occasional waits.
