King Shaka International Airport (DUR) north of Durban is the city’s main international gateway and a regional hub for both full-service and low-cost carriers, typically handling flights by airlines such as South African Airways, Airlink and low-cost operators. It sits about 35 km from the city center, with travel times usually around 30–45 minutes by road depending on traffic. Ground options include metered taxis, ride-hailing services and private shuttles; shuttle fares can be moderate while ride-hailing varies with demand. The terminal is generally modern and comfortable with decent amenities, though transfer times can be longer during peak periods; it’s convenient for international connections but a bit farther out than inner-city alternatives.

Saint Petersburg is served mainly by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s international gateway and dominant hub for full-service carriers and many foreign connections; it typically handles most long-haul and scheduled flights and can be pricier than regional alternatives. Pulkovo sits about 23 km south of the historic center — transfer times are usually 30–50 minutes by car depending on traffic. Public options include the commuter bus and fixed-route shuttles (fares often low), while taxis and rideshares take longer but are more direct. Pros: relatively modern terminals and wide route choice; cons: peak-hour congestion and a longer transfer from central districts. For budget or domestic-focused travel, Saint Petersburg also uses smaller regional airports and airfields for low-cost or charter operations, which can be cheaper but offer fewer amenities and limited schedules compared with the main hub. These facilities are typically closer to suburban areas, so ground transfers can be quicker than to Pulkovo yet may rely on infrequent buses or paid shuttles; taxi rides are commonly used for convenience. Pros: lower fares and shorter local transfers on some routes; cons: limited flight frequency, reduced onboard and terminal services, and fewer international connections.

The cost of a one-way flight from Durban to Saint Petersburg ranges from $709 (October 2026) to $731 (March 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $722–$729.
