Cheap Flights from Saint Petersburg to Nairobi Starting at $348

Saint Petersburg is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Pulkovo (LED) is the city’s primary international hub, typically handling most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as many low-cost flights; it sits about 23 km south of the historic center and can be reached by shuttle bus, city bus or taxi in roughly 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, with fares usually ranging from budget bus rates to mid-range taxi fares. For domestic and some regional services, smaller airports or terminals may be used for budget connections. Pros: modern terminals and frequent links to the city. Cons: peak-hour traffic can add travel time and some services may feel crowded.

Nairobi’s air travel is served mainly by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) and Wilson Airport (WIL). Jomo Kenyatta is Kenya’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and regional carriers including full-service and several low-cost airlines; it’s generally perceived as mid-range to premium depending on airline and class. The airport lies about 15–20 km southeast of the city center, with taxi or ride-hail rides typically taking 30–60 minutes depending on traffic and costing around KES 1,000–3,000; airport shuttles and private transfers are also common. Pros: broad connectivity and full passenger services; cons: traffic congestion and variable wait times. Wilson Airport serves mainly domestic and regional charter flights, plus many light aircraft and safari operators, so it’s typically chosen for short-haul, private or bush-bound travel. Located roughly 5–7 km from central Nairobi, transfers are usually quicker—10–25 minutes by taxi or shuttle—with fares often below KES 1,000. Its compact size can mean faster check-ins and easier transfers but fewer amenities and fewer scheduled international flights. Overall, Jomo Kenyatta is the go-to for international itineraries while Wilson is convenient for domestic, regional and charter connections.
