Saint Petersburg is served mainly by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s international gateway and busiest hub handling most long-haul and European services; full-service carriers and many full-service leisure airlines typically operate here, so fares can be mid-to-high compared with regional alternatives. Pulkovo sits about 23 km south of the centre, with the fastest link being taxi or rideshare (30–50 minutes depending on traffic, roughly moderate fares), while public bus and minibus options take around 40–60 minutes for low-cost travel; an airport express rail connection is not currently available. Pros: modern terminals, broad route network and good passenger facilities; cons: peak-hour road congestion and fewer ultra-low-cost domestic connections. Saint Petersburg also sees some low-cost and domestic-oriented flights via smaller or secondary fields and redirected services, but Pulkovo remains the primary point for international and intercontinental travel. Regional and budget airlines can sometimes offer lower fares on domestic legs, though these may use different terminals or require extra time for transfers. Ground links to the city include regular municipal buses and minibuses with budget-friendly fares and journey times typically between 40 and 70 minutes, while taxis and private transfers provide door-to-door convenience at higher cost. Pros: cheaper point-to-point options for domestic trips; cons: limited amenities and fewer international connections compared with the main airport.

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International (CCU) is Kolkata’s primary international gateway and a major eastern India hub, handling full-service carriers and several low-cost airlines on regional and global routes. It sits around 17–20 km from the city center; taxis and rideshares typically take 30–60 minutes depending on traffic, while app-based fares and metered taxis generally fall in a moderate range for the market. Limited suburban rail and planned metro links can shorten journeys at lower cost when available. Pros: wide international connectivity, decent passenger facilities; cons: peak-hour congestion and occasional longer transfers to central Kolkata. Second-tier airfields are mostly for general aviation rather than regular commercial service.
