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. Pulkovo sits about 23 km south of the city centre; taxis or app rides typically take 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, while airport buses and minibuses can take 40–60 minutes with lower fares. 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.
