Tehran is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Imam Khomeini International (IKA) is the primary international gateway and typically handles long-haul and many scheduled carrier flights; it can be seen as the city’s hub for international and full-service airlines. Mehrabad Airport (THR) mainly handles domestic and regional routes and is commonly used by budget and domestic operators. IKA lies about 50–60 km southwest of central Tehran, with airport shuttle buses and taxis taking roughly 45–75 minutes depending on traffic; fares can vary from modest public-bus rates to higher taxi charges. Mehrabad sits much closer—around 10–15 km west—reachable by metro line and short taxi rides of 20–40 minutes at lower cost. Pros: IKA offers modern international facilities and greater carrier choice; Mehrabad is more convenient for city access and short domestic hops. Cons: IKA’s distance can add transfer time and traffic exposure, while Mehrabad may feel more crowded and limited for international connections.

Saint Petersburg is served primarily by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s international gateway that typically handles most long‑haul and major carrier flights, while a few smaller airfields can serve private and seasonal traffic. Pulkovo generally hosts full‑service carriers alongside several low‑cost operators, so fares can vary from budget‑friendly to premium depending on season and carrier. The airport lies about 23 km south of the city centre; transfer options include taxi (roughly 30–50 minutes depending on traffic), suburban bus and marshrutka routes (around 45–70 minutes), and occasional airport shuttles, with fares usually modest for public transport and higher for private cars. Pros: modern terminal amenities and regular international connections; cons: peak‑time road congestion and somewhat longer transfers than inner‑city airports.
