Beijing Capital International (PEK) serves as the city’s primary international gateway and a major hub for full-service carriers like Air China, China Eastern and international airlines; it typically handles most long-haul and premium services. Located about 25–30 km northeast of downtown, travel to the city center is commonly via the Airport Express metro (roughly 20–30 minutes), express buses or taxis — expect 40–60 minutes by road depending on traffic and fares that can vary widely. Pros: extensive service options, frequent international connections and good ground transport links. Cons: can be busy and involve longer walking or transfer times between terminals. Beijing Daxing International (PKX) is a newer, large-scale international hub designed to relieve capacity from the older airport and attract both full-service and some low-cost carriers; it often handles a mix of domestic and international flights. Positioned about 40–50 km south of central Beijing, transit options include high-speed rail links, shuttle buses and taxis; rail or express services typically take 30–50 minutes to central areas while road journeys depend heavily on traffic. Pros: modern facilities and efficient design; cons: greater distance from downtown and potentially longer transfer times or slightly higher ground fares for longer commutes.

Saint Petersburg is served mainly by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s international gateway and principal hub for full-service carriers and several major Russian airlines; it can be the more convenient choice for long-haul and transfer passengers. Pulkovo lies about 23 km south of the historic center, with metro-plus-bus or direct airport buses typically taking 30–50 minutes and fares often in a low, budget-friendly range; taxis and ride-hailing usually shorten the trip to roughly 25–40 minutes at higher cost. For budget-minded travelers, smaller regional and charter flights may use nearby fields at times, but these are less common for international routes. Pros: relatively modern terminals and frequent scheduled services; cons: peak-hour traffic and occasional queueing at immigration can add time to onward journeys.

In different months, ticket prices from Beijing to Saint Petersburg vary: minimum — $245 (December 2025), maximum — $422 (August 2026). Typically, the flight costs $311–$317.
