Cheap Flights from Copenhagen to Saint Petersburg Starting at $179

Pulkovo Airport (LED) is Saint Petersburg’s main international gateway and typically handles the bulk of long-haul and European traffic, serving full-service carriers and many international low-cost airlines. It lies about 23 km south of the city center; road transfer by taxi or ride-hail can take roughly 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, while fixed-route buses and minibuses often take 40–60 minutes with lower fares. There is also a suburban train connection from the nearby station that can be faster during peak times. Pros: modern terminals and a wide choice of airlines; cons: transfers can be slow in heavy traffic and peak-period queues may appear. Pulkovo’s smaller sister facilities are mostly general aviation and regional airfields rather than major public airports, so travelers usually focus on Pulkovo for scheduled services. For budget-conscious flyers, some low-cost carriers operate at Pulkovo or nearby airports, which can make fares comparatively lower on certain routes. Ground access is varied — taxis are convenient but pricier, while buses and the Aeroexpress-style rail options can be economical and predictable. Pros: centrality of scheduled connections and decent infrastructure; cons: fewer dedicated budget-terminal options compared with some European cities and variable journey times into central Saint Petersburg.
