Saint Petersburg is served mainly by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city's international hub that handles most long-haul and European flights and is typically used by full-service carriers and major Russian airlines. Located about 23 km south of the historic centre, Pulkovo can be reached by taxi in roughly 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, or by public bus and marshrutka in about 45–60 minutes with low fares; there is also a suburban train link from the airport area to the city with similar journey times and moderate cost. The airport usually offers modern passenger facilities and frequent connections, but travelers may experience busy periods and occasional delays during peak seasons. For budget-conscious flyers, some low-cost carriers may use secondary or regional services via nearby airports, which can be cheaper but mean longer transfers and fewer amenities.
Beijing is served primarily by Beijing Capital International (PEK) and the newer Beijing Daxing International (PKX), with a few smaller airports for general aviation. Capital has long been the main international hub for full-service carriers like Air China and many global airlines, while Daxing is positioned as a modern high-capacity gateway that increasingly handles both long-haul and domestic flights, including budget and network carriers. Both are well outside the city center: Capital is about 32 km northeast, Daxing roughly 46 km to the south. Options to central Beijing include express trains (20–35 minutes from Capital’s airport express; 30–45 minutes from Daxing’s line) and taxis or ride‑shares (30–90 minutes depending on traffic; fares typically vary by route and time). Pros: extensive route networks and frequent services; modern facilities at Daxing and many transfer conveniences at Capital. Cons: both can involve long transfers and peak-hour congestion, plus added travel time and cost to reach central districts.
