Xi’an is served primarily by Xi’an Xianyang International Airport (XIY), the region’s major international hub handling full-service carriers and some low-cost airlines; it typically offers the widest choice of domestic and long-haul flights. Located about 40–45 km northwest of the city center, transfer options include dedicated airport express buses (roughly 45–70 minutes depending on traffic, fares usually modest), taxis (around 40–60 minutes with metered rates), and a metro line linking to central districts in about 35–50 minutes for a low fixed fare. Pros: good route network and modern facilities; cons: distance from downtown can add time and extra transport cost, and peak periods may be busy.
Saint Petersburg is served mainly by two airports: Pulkovo (LED), the city’s primary international hub, and smaller regional airfields used for charters and general aviation. Pulkovo typically handles most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as low-cost lines, so fares can range from budget-competitive to premium depending on carrier and season. The airport sits about 23 km south of the city center; getting into town usually takes 30–50 minutes by bus or Aeroexpress-style rail shuttle when running, taxis or ride-hailing trips often take 30–60 minutes depending on traffic and can be moderately priced. Pros: comprehensive international connections and modern passenger facilities. Cons: peak-hour congestion and potentially longer transfers from central hotels.
