Pulkovo Airport (LED) serves as Saint Petersburg’s main international gateway and typically functions as the region’s principal full‑service hub, handling most long‑haul and European routes. Major carriers and full‑service airlines are commonly present alongside several low‑cost and regional operators, so fares can range from budget‑friendly to premium depending on season and carrier. The airport lies about 23 km south of the city centre; surface public transport includes express buses and commuter trains taking roughly 30–50 minutes, taxis or ride‑hailing journeys of around 30–45 minutes, and fares that generally vary from modest public‑transit rates to mid‑range taxi costs. Pros: direct international connections and modern facilities; cons: travel time to the centre can be significant during peak traffic and peak fares on taxis.
Shanghai is served by two main airports. Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s primary international and long-haul hub, handling most intercontinental carriers and full-service airlines; it’s located about 30–40 km east of downtown and typically feels more spacious but can be pricier for taxis. Metro Line 2 connects PVG to central Shanghai in roughly 60–70 minutes; airport express buses and high-speed Maglev to Longyang Road take 8–20 minutes to the Maglev station plus onward transit, with fares usually higher than city buses. Pros: extensive long-haul options and modern facilities; cons: longer transfer times to city center and occasional peak crowds. Hongqiao (SHA) operates mainly as Shanghai’s domestic and regional airport and is often preferred for short-haul or budget-focused travel. It sits much closer to the centre—around 10–15 km west of downtown—and is integrated with Hongqiao Railway Station, making it convenient for high-speed train connections and many domestic carriers. Metro Lines 2 and 10 link Hongqiao to central districts in about 20–30 minutes; taxis are typically quicker and less costly than from Pudong. Pros: fast access to the city and rail network, convenient for domestic itineraries; cons: fewer long-haul flights and can be busy during peak domestic travel periods.
