Can I make a 2 hours connection at LED on an international flight?
2 hours clears the 90-minute international minimum connection time at Pulkovo, but you should still head directly to your gate. Pulkovo's single terminal building connects the domestic and international zones via an internal walkway, with no train or bus required. Passengers moving from domestic to international (or vice versa) must clear passport control and often a secondary security check, which is the main time cost rather than the physical walk.

What happens if I miss my connection at LED?
If you miss a connection, proceed to the Rossiya Airlines or your operating carrier's transfer desk in the terminal for rebooking; staffing is limited for other airlines so allow time for assistance.
