Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) is Azerbaijan’s main international gateway and typically handles the bulk of long-haul and regional services, including flag-carrier Azerbaijan Airlines alongside many full-service and some low-cost operators. Located about 20–25 km southeast of downtown Baku, transfer to the city center is usually 20–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with fares typically higher than local buses; a newer metro link and airport buses can offer cheaper options in 30–45 minutes. As the primary hub it can be more comfortable and have more amenities than smaller airfields, but peak-time congestion and taxi price variability can be downsides to budget travelers.

Saint Petersburg is served mainly by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s international hub that handles most long-haul and European flights and typically hosts legacy carriers alongside a growing number of low-cost operators. Located about 23 km south of the center, Pulkovo can be reached by taxi in roughly 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, or by bus and suburban train services in 40–60 minutes; fares for public transport are generally modest, while taxis or ride-hailing can be noticeably pricier. The airport is usually seen as convenient for international travelers with full-service facilities, though peak-hour road congestion and occasional winter delays can reduce comfort and predictability. In addition to Pulkovo, Saint Petersburg also has several smaller airfields used for business, charter and regional flights, such as Rzhevka and Pushkin at shorter distances from the city. These smaller airports are typically budget- or niche-oriented and can be useful for private or specialised services; ground links are more limited, so expect taxi transfers to be the main option and journey times to vary. While they can offer quicker check-in and less crowding, they commonly lack the range of shops, lounges and frequent scheduled connections found at the main hub.

In different months, ticket prices from Baku to Saint Petersburg vary: minimum — $157 (February 2027), maximum — $350 (July 2027). Typically, the flight costs $204–$219.
