Moscow is served by several airports that together cover international, domestic and low-cost travel needs. Sheremetyevo (SVO) functions as the primary international hub, typically hosting full-service carriers and offering extensive long-haul connections; it lies about 30–40 km northwest of the city center, reachable by Aeroexpress trains in roughly 35–45 minutes or by road in 40–70 minutes depending on traffic, with fares usually higher than local buses. Domodedovo (DME) is another major international gateway favored by a mix of legacy and budget airlines, around 40–50 km south of central Moscow and linked by Aeroexpress (about 45 minutes) and regular buses. Vnukovo (VKO) often handles both scheduled and charter flights and can be a more budget-friendly option for some routes; it sits about 28–35 km southwest, accessible by Aeroexpress in roughly 35–40 minutes or by taxi/bus. Zhukovsky (ZIA) is a newer facility that can serve low-cost and seasonal services, farther out and usually cheaper on fares but with fewer connections; travel times vary and public-transport options can be more limited. Pros across the network include good rail links at the main hubs and a wide choice of carriers; cons can be long surface travel times in peak traffic, occasional variability in budget-flight amenities, and differing levels of terminal comfort depending on the airport.

All airlines serving Almaty — Moscow operate daily direct flights: Aeroflot and SCAT fly every day.

The airport usually offers a mix of full-service and low-cost flights, so prices can vary widely. Pros: relatively large international connectivity and straightforward transfer options; Cons: peak-time congestion and occasional queueing at passport control.
