Ufa - Samara by train is e.g. 7h 3min/ 8h 30 min (various direct trains). Trains are on time and travel is very comfortable.
Samara railway station building: Samara-Passazhirskaya (Russian: Самара-Пассажирская) is the tallest in Europe, interesting modern architecture .. search for pictures on the net.. all the services (including accomodation) are provided there and it's in the city proper not in the suburbs.
O793 flight is faster and still ok.
