Rafael Núñez International Airport (CTG) serves Cartagena as the main international gateway and also handles a mix of regional and domestic flights, with carriers ranging from full-service international airlines to local budget operators. It sits close to the historic center—typically a 10–20 minute drive depending on traffic—so transfers are short; taxis and shared airport shuttles are common (fares generally vary by operator and can be modest), while some hotels offer private transfers. The airport is convenient for quick access to the Old City, though facilities can be busy during peak season and international flight options are more limited than at larger continental hubs. Overall it’s a practical, well-located entry point for most visitors.
Sheremetyevo (SVO) serves as Moscow’s primary international hub and typically handles most long‑haul and SkyTeam flights, making it a common choice for premium and connecting travellers. Located about 30–35 km northwest of the city centre, transfer times by Aeroexpress train are roughly 35–45 minutes with fares usually in the mid‑range for airport rail; taxis or ride‑hailing can take 40–70 minutes depending on traffic and may cost more. Facilities are generally modern with several lounges and full international services, though busy peak periods can mean longer security and immigration waits. Good for convenience on international itineraries, but expect occasional congestion during rush hours.
Domodedovo (DME) is often a major gateway for international and domestic carriers, including many full‑service and low‑cost operators, and is positioned as an important point for southern and eastern routes. It lies about 42–47 km southeast of central Moscow; the Aeroexpress train commonly takes around 45–55 minutes with fares typically comparable to other airport rail services, while taxis can vary from 40 minutes to over an hour depending on traffic. The terminal usually offers solid passenger amenities and efficient connections, though travel times to the centre can lengthen in peak traffic. Suited to a wide range of travellers, it can be perceived as mid‑priced for transfers.
Vnukovo (VKO) functions as a mix of domestic and international operations with a reputation for handling charter, regional and some low‑cost carriers alongside business traffic, giving it a somewhat less crowded feel at times. It sits roughly 28–35 km southwest of central Moscow; Aeroexpress plus bus combinations or direct buses typically take 35–50 minutes, and fares are generally modest, while taxis may be faster but affected by road conditions. The airport often feels compact and convenient for domestic connections, though facilities can be more limited than larger hubs. Good for quicker check‑ins and shorter on‑site walks, but offers fewer long‑haul options.
Zhukovsky (ZIA) is a newer, smaller airport that chiefly handles charter and select low‑cost or seasonal international flights, positioning it more as a budget or overflow facility rather than a full‑service hub. It is located about 40–50 km southeast of central Moscow; transfer options are more limited than other airports and can include buses, shuttles or longer taxi rides taking around 1–1.5 hours depending on traffic, with fares varying accordingly. The terminal is generally less busy and can be easier to navigate, but ground transport and frequency of flights may be more constrained. Good for occasional value itineraries, though planning connections is advisable.
The cost of a one-way flight from Cartagena to Moscow ranges from $670 (March 2026) to $795 (December 2025). On average, the ticket price is about $750–$1,580.
