Cheap Flights from Nairobi to Saint Petersburg Starting at $424

Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) is Nairobi’s main international hub, handling most long‑haul and regional carriers including full‑service airlines and many international connections. Flights here can be pricier than to secondary fields but often offer wider scheduling and more onward options. The airport lies about 15 km southeast of the CBD; transfer by taxi or ride‑hail typically takes 25–45 minutes depending on traffic, with fares roughly in the moderate range compared with central fares, while hotel shuttles and airport buses provide cheaper, slower alternatives. Pros: extensive facilities, many airline choices and straightforward international connections; cons: congestion and variable traffic times to the city can add delay. Wilson Airport (WIL) serves mainly domestic and regional light aircraft and is a key gateway for safari and short‑haul charter flights. It’s typically used by regional and domestic operators rather than major international airlines, and fares can be competitive for short hops though price depends on the carrier and season. Located approximately 6 km southwest of central Nairobi, the transfer to town is often quick—about 15–30 minutes by taxi or shuttle—making it convenient for onward transfers to lodges and city hotels. Pros: proximity to the city and fast check‑in for regional flights; cons: limited facilities and no long‑haul connections, so international transfers usually require NBO.

Saint Petersburg is primarily served by two airports with distinct profiles. Pulkovo Airport (LED) is the main international hub, handling most long‑haul and legacy carrier flights as well as many low‑cost services; it sits about 23 km south of the city center and is typically reached in 30–50 minutes by car depending on traffic. Public transport includes regular city buses and a shared airport shuttle (30–60 minutes, modest fares), while taxis and rideshares can be quicker but cost more. The smaller, more peripheral airports can host seasonal or charter services and tend to be budget‑oriented. Pros: Pulkovo offers frequent international connections and decent facilities; cons: peak‑time road congestion and variable transfer times.
