Christchurch International Airport is the South Island’s primary gateway, functioning as a full-service international hub with a mix of long-haul carriers and regional/budget airlines operating alongside one another. It sits about 12 km northwest of the city centre, with travel times typically around 20–30 minutes by taxi or rideshare and 30–45 minutes by public shuttle or bus; fares for buses and airport shuttles can generally be expected to be modest, while taxi trips are higher. The airport offers a straightforward passenger experience with a compact terminal layout and good ground-transport links, though peak periods can feel busy and connections to more remote destinations may require a change. Overall it balances convenience for international travellers with practical options for budget-conscious flyers.

Moscow is served by several airports that together handle international, domestic and low-cost traffic. Sheremetyevo (SVO) functions as the primary international hub, typically hosting full-service carriers and alliances; it sits about 29–35 km northwest of the city center and can be reached by Aeroexpress train in roughly 35–45 minutes or by taxi in 45–70 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying widely. Domodedovo (DME) is another major international gateway favored by a mix of legacy and some budget airlines, roughly 42–50 km southeast; Aeroexpress trains take about 45–55 minutes, while road transfers are often longer. Vnukovo (VKO) tends to be a bit closer to the city (about 28–35 km southwest) and is commonly used by both low-cost operators and charter flights; Aeroexpress plus bus or taxi options typically take 35–60 minutes. Zhukovsky (ZIA) is generally positioned as a newer, lower-traffic airport for select routes and charter services, located about 40–50 km southeast with longer ground connections. Travelers can expect a range of comfort and convenience: Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo usually offer more extensive lounges and shops, while Vnukovo and Zhukovsky can be simpler and sometimes cheaper. Road times are highly dependent on Moscow traffic, and public-transport train services provide more predictable journey durations and moderate fares.

In different months, ticket prices from Christchurch to Moscow vary: minimum — $638 (January 2026), maximum — $789 (March 2026). Typically, the flight costs $739–$768.
