Unable to find information about the schedule of direct flights from
Saint Petersburg is served mainly by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s international gateway and busiest airport, and a smaller set of regional and seasonal airfields. Pulkovo typically handles most long-haul and European connections and hosts a mix of full-service carriers and Russian low-cost airlines, so fares can vary from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. The airport sits about 23 km south of the historic center; taxis usually take 30–45 minutes (fares commonly range from modest fixed rates to higher metered prices), while shuttle buses and suburban trains can link you to the city in roughly 30–50 minutes for lower fares. Pros: relatively modern terminal facilities and a wide range of services; cons: can be busy during peak periods and transfer times may be longer than for very central airports.
Qingdao is served mainly by Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport (TAO), positioned as the city’s primary international and domestic gateway since replacing the older Liuting field. It typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on route and season. The airport sits about 35–45 km northeast of downtown Qingdao; journeys by the high-speed rail link or expressways usually take 35–60 minutes, while airport shuttle buses and taxis commonly run 45–70 minutes depending on traffic — expect shuttle fares to be modest and taxi rides to be mid-range. Pros: modern facilities, good international connections and reliable ground transport. Cons: distance from central neighborhoods can add transfer time and occasional congestion during peak periods.
