Edinburgh Airport (EDI) serves as Scotland’s main international gateway while also handling substantial domestic and low-cost carrier traffic; it’s typically used by full-service airlines on long-haul and European routes alongside budget carriers for short-haul flights. The airport sits about 8 miles (13 km) west of the city centre, with the tram taking around 30–40 minutes and local buses typically 30–50 minutes depending on traffic; fares can commonly range from modest single-ride bus/tram tickets to the slightly higher airport tram fare. Taxis or ride-shares usually take 20–30 minutes and can be more convenient for door-to-door trips. Pros include good public-transport links and a compact terminal layout that can be easy to navigate; cons can be occasional crowds at peak times and limited late-night public transport options. Overall it’s a practical choice for direct trips to Edinburgh with a mix of budget and premium options.

Saint Petersburg is served mainly by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s international hub for most long-haul and European connections. Pulkovo typically handles full-service carriers and a growing number of international low-cost services, and fares can be mid-range compared with other major Russian gateways. The airport lies about 23 km south of the city centre; road transfer by taxi or rideshare commonly takes 30–50 minutes depending on traffic and can cost roughly the equivalent of a modest local taxi fare, while city buses and express minibuses link Pulkovo to metro stations in around 40–60 minutes for a small fare. Pros: relatively modern terminal facilities and direct international routes. Cons: can be busy during peak periods and ground travel time varies with traffic. Saint Petersburg also has smaller regional and general aviation airfields that can be used for charter and private flights, though these are not typical for scheduled commercial travel. These airfields usually cater to business aviation and occasional domestic services, and they are positioned closer to outskirts of the metropolitan area. Transfers tend to be by private car or taxi with short travel times but higher per-trip costs; scheduled public transport options are limited. Pros: quicker check-in and less crowding for private flyers. Cons: limited scheduled routes and fewer passenger services compared with the main Pulkovo airport.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Edinburgh to Saint Petersburg is $183 (January 2026), while the maximum is $635 (November 2026). On average, a ticket costs $308–$327.
