Urumqi is served mainly by Urumqi Diwopu International Airport (URC), the region’s primary international and domestic hub connecting Xinjiang with major Chinese cities and Central Asia. The airport typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost/charter operators, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on season and route. Diwopu sits roughly 16–20 km northwest of downtown Urumqi; taxis usually take 25–40 minutes and can cost the local equivalent of a moderate fare, while airport shuttle buses take about 40–60 minutes with inexpensive ticket prices. Pros: good route coverage and straightforward ground links. Cons: can be busy during peak travel periods and, from some parts of the region, requires a longer transfer compared with smaller domestic fields.

Saint Petersburg is served primarily by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s main international gateway and usual choice for long-haul and carrier flights, with Aeroflot and many European and regional airlines operating scheduled services.

There are also regular shuttle services to Moskovsky and other central stations. As the principal airport, Pulkovo can be more convenient for international connections but may be pricier than smaller regional options; travelers should weigh convenience versus cost and anticipate peak-time delays.
