Sapporo is served by two main airports with distinct roles. New Chitose Airport (CTS) is Hokkaido’s primary international and domestic hub, handling major carriers like ANA, JAL and several full-service and low-cost international airlines; it’s usually the main choice for long-haul and seasonal flights. New Chitose sits about 45–50 km southeast of central Sapporo and can be reached by the JR rapid airport train in roughly 37–45 minutes (fares typically in the moderate range), or by express bus in around 70–90 minutes depending on traffic. The airport is generally convenient with ample shops and services, though travel time to the city is longer than at inner-city airports. For low-cost and regional connections, Okadama Airport (OKD) serves domestic flights mainly by smaller carriers and can be more budget-friendly for short hops; it lies approximately 7–10 km northeast of downtown and is reachable by bus or taxi in about 15–25 minutes. Okadama is usually quicker for center access but has limited facilities and fewer international services, so it can be less flexible for complex itineraries.

Saint Petersburg is served mainly by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s international gateway and busiest hub for both full-service carriers and low-cost airlines. Located about 23 km south of the historic center, Pulkovo typically offers a mix of domestic and international connections and can be more affordable than Moscow for some routes. Ground links include express buses and regular bus routes (roughly 30–60 minutes depending on traffic, fares usually low), taxis or ride-hailing (30–45 minutes, variable fares), and private transfers. Pros: modern terminals and a broad choice of carriers; cons: traffic can lengthen journeys to the center and seasonal peak times may bring queues.

Fly direct from Saint Petersburg to Sapporo for the fastest, most convenient way to bridge Russia and Japan—arrive sooner and start exploring Hokkaido without the hassle of layovers. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop journey saves time and adds comfort, making it ideal for both weekend escapes and longer adventures.
