Saint Petersburg is served primarily by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s main international hub that typically handles most long-haul and European flights and is used by full-service carriers alongside several low-cost lines. Located about 23 km south of downtown, Pulkovo can usually be reached by Aeroexpress or city buses; the Aeroexpress rail service takes roughly 30–45 minutes and city buses/taxis range from 40 minutes to an hour depending on traffic, with fares typically varying by service type. The airport is generally convenient for international connections and offers a wider choice of carriers, though travel time to the center can be longer than some smaller urban airports and peak traffic may affect road transfers. For budget or regional services, Saint Petersburg also sees some operations at secondary airfields and charter strips, which can be used by low-cost or seasonal carriers and occasionally by private flights. These facilities tend to be closer to outskirts and can offer lower fees and simpler layouts, but they usually provide fewer amenities and less frequent public transport links compared with Pulkovo. Travelers using these airports should expect more limited dining and lounge options and may need to plan for taxi or shuttle transfers, which can be quicker but sometimes pricier than scheduled public transport.

Barcelona–El Prat (BCN) serves as the city’s main international gateway and typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium. The airport lies about 12 km southwest of Plaça de Catalunya; by Aerobus it’s usually 25–35 minutes (one-way tickets often fall in a modest fare band), while Rodalies/Cercanías trains take around 25 minutes and taxis roughly 20–35 minutes depending on traffic. Pros: good connectivity, frequent flights, and multiple terminals with decent passenger facilities. Cons: can be busy during peak season and low-cost terminals may be less spacious or require extra transfer time.
