Located about 10 km east of the city center, transfer times are commonly 15–30 minutes by taxi or 20–40 minutes using metro plus bus; taxi fares can typically be in the modest range while a metro/bus ticket is usually inexpensive. Car rental and private transfers are widely available for faster door-to-door trips. Advantages include a compact terminal layout and frequent low-cost connections; downsides can be periodic congestion during peak hours and variable walk times between gates.

It’s located about 23 km south of the city center; travel times by taxi are usually 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, while the dedicated Aeroexpress/train services and buses can take 30–45 minutes — fares generally range from modest public-transport levels to mid-range for express options. Pulkovo is usually more comfortable and better equipped with lounges and services, though peak-hour road approaches can be congested.
