 Flying with KLM by filipdebont
So it was an early wake-up (3 P.M.), and then a trip by car towards the Dutch National Airport (300 km - 3 hours by car).
It was a rather short flight, only 2.15 h.
Do not forget, that there is a difference of time, in St Petersburg it is 2 hours later then in Holland.
I paid 400 euros for this flight (taxes included). Leave a Comment

Flying there from Switzerland nonstop can only be done once a week with Pulkovo International airlines. The problem is that they only fly in summer.
Otherwise, there are lots of airlines flying to St. Petersburg including Lufthansa, Austrian, SAS, Finnish, BA , Air Baltic etc.
To get to the airport with lugguage, it's best to order a taxi. I always used Taxi Blues, phone 271 88 88, which were quite reliable. Get someone to call for you in Russian. You need to tell them your exact address and where you want to go and they tell you the price. Also you need to give them your phone number as they call you back around 15 minutes before and tell you the number part of the car license plate (so you know which is your taxi). Then go and find your taxi on the street. At the end of the journey you pay the driver what you were quoted on the phone. If this is too complicated for you, you may want to book a transfer with a tour company. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Direct flights from London Gatwick with BA arrive to St Petersburg's Pulkovo Airport. When I flew out there I was offered Aeroflot as an alternative. Both prices were almost the same and BA had the better internal connection.
Pulkovo airport was much smaller than I had expected and there were limited facilities for purchase of duty free goods. It is arbout 6km out of the city centre and is accessible by bus. Taxis can be expensive (especially if you are a foreigner). Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Train is a much more preferable way to travel between Peterburg and Moscow than airplane. First, airports are a far from both cities, while train stations are located in their centers and are easily accessed by subway. Secondly, the TU-134 jets can be uncomfortably cramped for anyone above average height.
The flight takes over an hour, but the time needed to travel to and from the airports (and the fact that you have to arrive early to the airport) will negate the time advantage. Take the train! Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

St Pet is a big city, and walking around is quite a task, so use the subway for longer distances. It's dead cheap and trains run from 6am till 1am, every two minutes. Taxi's aren't expensive either, and they're a good choice of transport after dark. If you can't get an official taxi and are with a group, hail any car in the street, ask if the driver will take you to your destination and if so, fix a price. Usually 100/150 rubles will easily get you from the city centre to one of the suburbs. It sounds dodgy and I would not recommend this to women travellers, but it's definitely worth a try if anything else fails! Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

The best way of getting around the city is by metro (it is the quickest and cheapest way). Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

By airplane from other major cities, or by bus or car if you come from Finland as Sct. Petersburg is rather close to the Finnish boarder.
By feet as there is so much to see;) And by the famous metro if your feet get too tired! Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

We traveled by air from Dublin via Copenhagen to St. Petersburg with SAS airlines. Great in-flight treatment.
On arrival we were picked up by taxi, again arranged by the agency, for $40 dollars for the cab - not per person.
We Walked around the city as we were lucky enough to be staying near city centre.
But there is a good bus and underground system. Theme: Airplane
