Saint Petersburg is served mainly by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s principal international gateway and usual choice for full-service and many low-cost carriers; it handles most long-haul and scheduled domestic flights. Pulkovo sits about 23 km south of the city centre, with the fastest transfers by taxi or ride-hail typically taking 30–45 minutes depending on traffic and costing roughly the equivalent of a moderate urban fare; public buses and fixed-route shuttles can take 40–60+ minutes for a lower outlay. The airport is generally convenient for inbound connections and has standard passenger facilities, while peak-hour road congestion and variable public-transport frequency can be a drawback for time-sensitive travellers.
Samarkand International Airport (SKD) serves as the main gateway to Uzbekistan’s historic city and typically functions as an international hub for regional and some long-haul services rather than a low-cost terminal. You’ll usually find flights operated by national carriers and a mix of Middle Eastern and Central Asian airlines; budget options can be fewer and fares may be moderate compared with bigger hubs. The airport sits about 5–10 km southeast of the city center, with taxi rides taking roughly 15–25 minutes and local bus or shared minibus services around 30–45 minutes; expect fares to range from very low for public buses to modest for taxis. Pros: straightforward layout, convenient proximity to major sights, and regular scheduled services. Cons: limited late-night connections and fewer low-cost carrier choices than larger regional airports.
