Saint Petersburg is served mainly by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s primary international gateway and busiest aviation hub, typically handling long-haul, European and CIS connections alongside major carriers and full-service airlines. Located about 20–25 km south of the historic centre, it’s usually reachable by city bus or commuter shuttles in roughly 40–60 minutes, or by taxi in around 30–45 minutes depending on traffic; fares for public transport are typically modest while taxis can vary. Pulkovo is generally comfortable and modern with decent transfer facilities, though peak hours can be busy and onward transfers may take time. For low-cost and regional flights, Saint Petersburg also has smaller aerodromes that can be used seasonally or by charter services, though they play a secondary role to Pulkovo and often cater to budget carriers or specialised routes. These airports tend to be closer to outlying suburbs, can be cheaper on some routes, and usually offer straightforward bus or shuttle links into the city that take similar or slightly longer times than from Pulkovo; convenience can be limited outside scheduled services and amenities may be more basic. Travelers often balance lower fares against fewer transport options and reduced facilities when choosing these alternatives.
Fly direct from Saint Petersburg to Lyon for the quickest, most convenient way to reach France’s gastronomic capital — no layovers, less hassle, and more time to enjoy the city. While connecting flights can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop trip saves hours and offers a more comfortable travel experience, making it easy to book when time and ease matter most.
Lyon is served primarily by Lyon–Saint Exupéry (LYS), the region’s international hub that handles long-haul and many European connections, and by Lyon–Bron, a smaller business and general aviation airfield. Saint Exupéry is the main airport for full-service carriers and several low-cost airlines, and fares can be mid-range to premium depending on season and carrier. It sits about 20–25 km east of central Lyon; travel options include the Rhônexpress tram (roughly 25–35 minutes, moderate fares), taxis or ride-shares (30–45 minutes, higher cost), and regional buses (longer but cheaper). Pros: broad route network and frequent links; cons: public transfer adds time and can be pricier than city airports. Bron is closer and mainly for private or short-hop flights, offering convenience for business travelers but with limited scheduled services.
