Saint Petersburg is served mainly by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s international gateway and largest hub that typically handles most long-haul and European flights and hosts carriers ranging from full-service national airlines to low-cost operators. Located about 23 km south of the city center, Pulkovo can usually be reached by bus or suburban train in roughly 30–50 minutes; taxis and ride-hailing services take about 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying by operator. The airport generally offers a full set of passenger amenities and connections, making it convenient for international travel, though transfer times and queues can be longer at peak periods. For budget travelers, some low-cost flights can be comparatively cheaper but may use more basic services and stricter baggage rules.

Moscow is served by several airports with distinct roles. Sheremetyevo (SVO) is typically the city’s main international hub, favored by full-service carriers and SkyTeam members; it can be pricier on average but offers extensive long-haul connections. Vnukovo (VKO) often handles a mix of legacy and low-cost services and can be a budget-friendly alternative for some routes. Domodedovo (DME) is usually a major hub for both international and domestic flights and commonly hosts full-service and value airlines. Zhukovsky (ZIA) operates mainly niche, charter, and some low-cost services and can be an outlier for special routes. Distances and access vary: Sheremetyevo lies about 30 km northwest of central Moscow with Aeroexpress rail taking roughly 35–45 minutes; taxis or ride-shares can range from moderate to high fares depending on traffic. Domodedovo is about 42 km south, with Aeroexpress trains typically taking 45–60 minutes and road transfers subject to congestion and variable cost. Vnukovo sits roughly 28 km southwest; its Aeroexpress connection can run about 35–50 minutes, and road journeys are similar in price range. Zhukovsky is farther out, around 40–50 km southeast, usually requiring longer road transfers and occasional bus links. Pros and cons: Sheremetyevo tends to be comfortable with ample services and lounges but can be busy at peak times. Domodedovo mixes good connectivity with sometimes lengthy ground transfers in heavy traffic. Vnukovo can be more convenient for western approaches and occasionally cheaper, though facilities are slightly more compact. Zhukovsky may offer lower fares on specific routes but often has fewer amenities and longer transfers. Overall, travelers should weigh flight price, airline choice, and transfer time when selecting a Moscow airport.
