Sanya Phoenix International Airport (SYX) is the main gateway for Hainan’s southern beach destinations, acting as a regional international and domestic hub rather than a low-cost outpost. It typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and regional airlines, plus seasonal charter flights from neighboring countries, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on timing. The airport sits about 15–20 km from downtown Sanya; taxis and rideshares generally take 20–40 minutes, while airport shuttles and local buses can take 30–60 minutes with lower fares. Pros: reasonably modern facilities and direct links to major Chinese cities and resorts. Cons: peak-season crowds and occasional longer waits for ground transport.
Saint Petersburg is served primarily by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s main international gateway and a regional hub for full-service and several low-cost carriers. Pulkovo typically handles most long-haul and European connections and can be slightly pricier than secondary options, though deals appear regularly. The airport sits about 23 km south of the historic center; taxis or rideshares take roughly 30–60 minutes depending on traffic and can cost in the equivalent of a moderate local fare, while public buses and fixed-route shuttles take about 40–70 minutes for a lower fare. Pros: direct international links and modern terminals; cons: peak-time traffic to the city and limited late-night public transport.
