Saint Petersburg is served mainly by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s international gateway and largest air hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines on routes across Europe, Asia and domestic Russia. Located about 23 km south of the city centre, Pulkovo is typically reached by taxi in 30–60 minutes depending on traffic, by public bus or shuttle in roughly 40–70 minutes, and by private transfer; fares for buses and shared shuttles are usually low, while taxis can be moderate to higher depending on time of day. The airport generally offers a range of passenger services and connections but can be busy during peak periods; it’s convenient for international travellers but a bit farther out than some urban terminals. For budget travellers, occasional low-cost routes may mean cheaper fares, while those seeking wider route choices will usually find more options here.

Chelyabinsk Airport (Balandino, CEK) serves as the main air gateway for the Ural city and typically functions as a regional and occasional international hub rather than a large global transfer center. You can expect a mix of Russian carriers and a few low-cost or charter services operating here, with fares often seen as mid-range for domestic flights and possibly higher on limited international sectors. The airport sits about 18–20 km northeast of Chelyabinsk’s center; taxis take roughly 25–40 minutes and can cost the equivalent of a modest city taxi fare, while fixed-route minibuses and occasional airport buses may be cheaper but slower. Pros: compact terminal and straightforward check-in; cons: fewer direct international connections and limited lounge/retail options compared with major hubs.
