Pulkovo Airport (LED) serves as Saint Petersburg’s primary international gateway and typically functions as a full-service hub for major carriers alongside several low-cost and regional operators. Flights can be competitively priced compared with western European routes, with budget options appearing on peak-season and advance-purchase itineraries. The airport lies about 23 km south of the historic city centre; surface links include regular bus and minibus services (roughly 30–50 minutes depending on traffic), and taxi or ride-hailing trips that can take around 30–40 minutes with fares varying by provider.

Lhasa is served by Lhasa Gonggar Airport (LXA), the region’s main gateway and a modest international/regional hub that typically handles flights to major Chinese cities and occasional international charters. Carriers tend to include China’s state and regional airlines, with fares often perceived as higher than low-cost domestic routes due to limited competition and higher operating costs at altitude. The airport sits about 62 km (roughly 1–1.5 hours) southwest of Lhasa city center; road transfers are the norm, with airport buses and taxis available—expect bus rides to take around 90–120 minutes and taxis to be faster but more expensive. Pros: scenic approach, direct access for travelers to Tibet; cons: longer transfer times, limited public-transport frequency and altitude-related considerations that can affect comfort.
