[wiki=194c2f5a3f3404e4df91365c464c6376]Ryazan[/wiki]'s local small airport Turlatovo doesn't operate regular flights and is being used for small aircraft and training. So, the closest air terminals are Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Vnukovo of [wiki=7e35e74e610188414ad24235dd787c78]Moscow[/wiki]. From those airports Ryazan can be accessed by train, by bus, or by car/taxi.
Ryazan is an important transit rail hub. There are 2 train terminals in the city (Ryazan-1 and Ryazan-2). Most trains proceed to the east and arrive at the larger Ryazan-1 terminal, while those going to the south stop at Ryazan-2.
An ordinary ride by elektrichka from [wiki=7e35e74e610188414ad24235dd787c78]Moscow[/wiki]'s Kazansky Rail Terminal (Казанский вокзал) takes almost 4 hours and costs 320 RUR (one way).
A faster and more comfortable option is to take an express train from the same terminal. The ride takes a little less than 3 hours, the cost depends on the class of the car. There are 3 express trains daily, going in the early morning, midday and evening.
