Pulkovo Airport (LED) is Saint Petersburg’s main international gateway and typically functions as the city’s primary hub for full-service carriers and many international connections, while some low-cost airlines also operate seasonal routes. Located about 23 km south of the city centre, Pulkovo can be reached by city bus or minibus in roughly 40–60 minutes depending on traffic, with fares generally low; taxis and ride-hailing services usually take around 30–45 minutes at higher cost. The airport offers a compact terminal layout with basic lounges and services, so it can be convenient for transfers but may feel busy during peak hours; travelers often balance reasonable connectivity against occasional queues and limited late‑night options.

Johannesburg is primarily served by OR Tambo International (JNB), the country’s main international gateway and a major regional hub for full-service carriers like South African Airways, British Airways and many international airlines; it can be pricier than smaller airports but offers extensive connections. OR Tambo sits about 22 km east of central Johannesburg, with Gautrain rail links to Sandton and Park Station (roughly 15–25 minutes, fares typically in a moderate range) and metered taxis or rideshares taking 30–45 minutes depending on traffic. Lanseria (HLA), northwest of the city, is a smaller, budget-leaning alternative favored by low-cost carriers and private flights, around 40–50 km from downtown with shuttle services and taxis. Pros: strong connectivity and frequent services at OR Tambo; cons: peak-time congestion and transfers can be time-consuming. Lanseria can be cheaper and quicker for some suburban travelers but offers fewer routes and amenities.
