Shymkent International Airport (SCO) is the main air gateway for southern Kazakhstan and typically serves as the region’s international and domestic hub, handling both full-service carriers and low-cost regional airlines. The airport lies roughly 16–18 km east of Shymkent city centre, with taxi rides usually taking about 20–30 minutes and local buses or shared shuttles around 30–45 minutes depending on traffic; fares can be modest for public transport and higher for private taxis. Facilities are generally functional rather than luxurious, so travelers can expect basic services and relatively quick processing at quieter times, while peak periods can be busier. Pros: direct connections to regional destinations and close city access; cons: limited premium amenities and fewer long-haul options compared with larger Kazakh hubs.

Saint Petersburg is served mainly by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s international gateway and busiest hub for full-service and low-cost carriers alike. Pulkovo typically handles most long-haul and European flights, with airlines ranging from legacy carriers to budget operators; fares can be competitive but vary by season. The airport sits about 23 km south of the city center, reachable by suburban bus or Aeroexpress-style train links and regular taxis — journeys usually take 30–50 minutes by road depending on traffic, with public transport fares generally modest and taxis costing more. Pros: convenient international connections and modern facilities; cons: peak-hour traffic can lengthen transfers and some budget options may use remote stands.
