Christchurch International Airport (CHC) is New Zealand’s South Island gateway and typically functions as a major international and domestic hub rather than a budget-only field. You’ll usually find full-service carriers and a mix of low-cost airlines operating scheduled flights to Auckland, Wellington, and overseas destinations. The airport sits about 12 km northwest of Christchurch city centre; road transfer by taxi or rideshare can take roughly 20–30 minutes depending on traffic with fares commonly in a moderate range, while the public airport bus and shuttle services typically take 30–45 minutes for a lower fare. Car rental and short-term parking are straightforward for self-drivers. Pros: compact layout and a decent range of services make connections relatively convenient. Cons: while generally easy to navigate, peak times can bring queues at security and limited late-night public transport options.

Fly nonstop from Christchurch to Saint Petersburg for the fastest, most convenient way to bridge New Zealand and Russia—get there sooner and relax more without the hassle of transfers.

Saint Petersburg is served by two main airports with different roles. Pulkovo Airport (LED) is the city's international hub, handling most long-haul and scheduled flights and typically used by full-service carriers as well as some low-cost operators; it lies about 23 km south of the city center and can be reached by taxi (35–50 minutes depending on traffic), express bus or marshrutka (roughly 40–60 minutes) and regular city buses, with fares varying from modest public-transport rates to higher taxi fares. Pros: modern terminals and a wide route network; cons: peak-hour congestion and somewhat longer transit times into central districts. Smaller service patterns and occasional seasonal routes can affect perceived prices and connections. Pulkovo is complemented by occasional use of nearby airports for specific purposes (cargo, military or charter diversions), but these are not typical options for most travelers. For budget-conscious flyers, seasonal charters and some low-cost carriers may result in comparatively lower fares into Pulkovo, while business travelers often prefer its direct connections and amenities. Ground transport offers a balance between cost and convenience: public buses and shared shuttles are cheapest but slower, while taxis and ride-hailing provide door-to-door comfort at higher cost. Travelers should weigh terminal facilities and transport times when choosing flights, as transfer convenience can vary by time of day and service type.

In different months, ticket prices from Christchurch to Saint Petersburg vary: minimum — $855 (March 2026), maximum — $1,097 (January 2026). Typically, the flight costs $949–$1,992.
