Cape Town International is the city’s main gateway and typically functions as an international hub handling long-haul carriers and regional airlines alongside some low-cost operators. The airport sits about 20 km (roughly 30–45 minutes by road, depending on traffic) from the city centre; metered taxis and app-based rideshares usually take around that long, while the MyCiTi airport bus can be a cheaper option in about 45–60 minutes. Shuttle services and car rentals are widely available, with bus fares often under a few dollars/equiv. and taxis/rideshares varying by time and demand. Pros: modern terminals, good route choice and solid frequency. Cons: can be busy in peak season and traffic to the CBD may add time and cost.

Moscow is served by several major airports with distinct roles. Sheremetyevo (SVO) is the principal international hub, typically handling most long-haul and SkyTeam flights and generally positioned as the more full-service option; it sits about 30–35 km northwest of the city center and can be reached by Aeroexpress train in roughly 35–45 minutes (fare usually in the modest range) or by taxi in 40–70 minutes depending on traffic. Domodedovo (DME) is another large international airport often used by full-service and low-cost carriers alike, about 42–50 km southeast of downtown with an Aeroexpress link of around 45–60 minutes and taxi options that can be pricier at peak times. Vnukovo (VKO) typically handles a mix of domestic and some international services, around 28–30 km southwest; it offers an Aeroexpress service taking about 30–40 minutes or road transfers that vary with congestion. Zhukovsky (ZIA) is a newer, smaller option for some budget and charter flights, roughly 40–50 km southeast with fewer public-transport links and longer transfer times. Pros: good rail connections from the major hubs and wide airline choice; cons: several different airports scattered far from the center can mean longer transfers and variable fares depending on time and traffic.
