Uytash Airport (MCX) serves Makhachkala as the region’s primary international gateway and can act as both a domestic hub and point for limited international connections to nearby countries. It typically handles full-service Russian carriers and a mix of low-cost or regional operators, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-tier depending on season and carrier. The airport lies roughly 20–25 km north of the city centre; travel by taxi or private transfer usually takes about 25–40 minutes and can be moderately priced, while occasional shuttle buses or local minibuses may take 40–60 minutes for lower fares. Pros: relatively compact terminal and direct regional links; cons: fewer long-haul choices and variable ground-transport frequency outside peak times.

Saint Petersburg is served mainly by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s international gateway and busiest hub, typically handling most long-haul and full-service carriers while also hosting low-cost and regional flights. Located about 23 km south of the historic centre, transfer options include taxis or rideshares (roughly 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, fares usually higher than public transport), regular city buses and minibuses (about 40–60 minutes, low fares), and an express shuttle linking to Moskovskaya metro station (travel time around 30–40 minutes). Pulkovo is generally seen as convenient for international connections and amenities, though peak traffic can make transfers slower and costs higher than some regional airports. In addition to Pulkovo, Saint Petersburg can be accessed via several smaller airfields used for charter, private and occasional regional services; these are typically positioned farther from the city and serve niche routes or seasonal traffic rather than regular international schedules. Ground transport from these smaller fields tends to rely on pre-booked transfers, taxis or car rentals, with journey times and fares varying substantially by location and service. Such airports can offer quieter terminals and quicker on-ground processing but usually lack the wide range of shops, lounges and frequent public transport links found at Pulkovo.
