Saint Petersburg is served primarily by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s main international gateway and a mid-to-large hub for carriers like Aeroflot, Rossiya and a range of European and low-cost airlines. Located about 20–23 km south of the historic centre, Pulkovo is usually reachable by Aeroexpress-like train alternatives, frequent bus routes and taxis; journey times typically range from 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, with public-transport fares usually low and taxi fares noticeably higher. The airport offers a decent blend of international connectivity and practical facilities, though peak periods can mean queues and longer transfers; it’s generally the most convenient entry for long-haul or intercontinental travel. For some regional and low-cost services, travelers may also encounter flights using nearby smaller airfields or charters; these can be more budget-oriented but often have limited schedules and fewer ground-transport links to central Saint Petersburg. Such airports can be closer to outlying suburbs and may have quicker processing at off-peak times, yet they typically lack the same range of lounges, shops and frequent public-transit options as the main Pulkovo hub.

Riga Airport (RIX) is Latvia’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, making it a common choice for both business and leisure travelers. Located about 10 km (roughly 15–25 minutes by car) from the city center, it can be reached by bus, taxi or rideshare; public buses usually take around 30–40 minutes with modest fares, while taxis and private transfers are quicker but cost more. The airport offers compact, modern facilities with straightforward connections, though peak times can feel crowded. Its strengths are convenience and good international links; travelers seeking the absolute lowest fares may sometimes find cheaper options via nearby regional hubs.
