Sochi Airport offers various transport options that efficiently connect the terminal with the city centre, coastal districts, and the mountain resorts in Krasnaya Polyana.

The high-speed Lastochka train is the most comfortable and reliable option. The railway station is physically integrated with the airport terminal, allowing pedestrian access from the arrivals area.
Destinations: It operates services to Sochi central station (approximately 45 minutes), Adler, Matsesta and Khosta, as well as direct services to the mountain resorts of Rosa Khutor and Esto-Sadok.

Urban bus stops are located directly outside the passenger terminal exit.
