Saint Petersburg is served primarily by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s main international gateway and de facto hub for full-service carriers and many scheduled European routes; it can also feel budget-friendly thanks to several low-cost operators. Located about 23 km south of the historic center, Pulkovo is typically reached by city bus or marshrutka in roughly 40–60 minutes, by regular taxi or rideshare in 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, with fares usually ranging from modest public-transport ticket prices to mid-range taxi fares. The airport offers a compact, modern terminal with straightforward connections, though peak hours and security procedures can add time — it’s convenient for international arrivals but can be less central than some urban terminals.
Tehran is served by two main airports with different roles. Imam Khomeini International (IKA) is the primary international gateway for long-haul and many regional carriers, often handling full-service airlines and some budget internationals; it sits roughly 45–60 km southwest of central Tehran and can take about 45–75 minutes by taxi or 60–90 minutes by scheduled shuttle, with fares varying by operator. Mehrabad (THR) is closer — about 8–12 km west of the city center — and typically functions for domestic and some regional flights, mainly served by local airlines; travel times are 15–40 minutes by taxi or metro connections, usually at lower fares. Pros: IKA offers modern international facilities for long-haul comfort, while Mehrabad is far more convenient for quick domestic transfers; cons: IKA’s distance can add cost and time, while Mehrabad may feel crowded and has fewer international amenities.
