Saint Petersburg is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Pulkovo (LED) is the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as many European and domestic flights; fares from Pulkovo can be mid- to high-range compared with Russia’s smaller airports. It lies about 23 km south of the city centre, with shuttle buses, marshrutkas and taxis taking roughly 30–50 minutes depending on traffic; the Aeroexpress-style bus services and shared transfers typically cost modest fares while taxis are faster but pricier. Pros: relatively modern terminal and direct international connections; cons: can be busy at peak times and road links are subject to congestion. Pulkovo’s role is sometimes complemented by smaller regional or charter-focused airfields that handle low-cost, seasonal or general aviation traffic. These secondary airports usually host budget carriers, charter flights and private aircraft, and can offer lower average ticket prices for point-to-point domestic and nearby international routes. Distances to central Saint Petersburg vary but are often comparable or slightly shorter than Pulkovo; surface transport tends to be limited to taxis and occasional shuttle services, with travel times and costs that depend on exact location. Pros: potential for cheaper fares and quicker processing; cons: fewer amenities, limited public transport and less frequent scheduled services.

Nalchik Airport (NAL) serves as the main regional gateway to the Kabardino-Balkaria republic and typically functions as a modest domestic airport rather than a large international hub. It usually handles a mix of regional carriers and occasional charter services, with fares often perceived as competitive for short Russian routes. The airport lies roughly 10–15 km southwest of Nalchik city centre; travel by taxi or fixed-route shuttle is common, taking about 20–30 minutes and generally costing modest sums relative to larger cities. Amenities are basic but practical, offering convenience for short hops; downsides can include limited flight frequencies and fewer airline choices compared with bigger hubs.

In different months, ticket prices from Saint Petersburg to Nalchik vary: minimum — $127 (August 2026), maximum — $178 (October 2026). Typically, the flight costs $154–$173.
