Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN) is the region’s primary international gateway and a practical choice for both business and leisure travelers, often serving a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines. Located about 15 km southeast of central Cologne, it can be reached in roughly 15–30 minutes by regional train or S-Bahn, with fares typically in the low single digits; taxis and ride-shares take around 20–30 minutes and cost more. The airport usually strikes a balance between efficiency and size—terminals are compact and easy to navigate, but peak times can be busy. Pros: convenient rail links and broad route coverage; cons: fewer long-haul options than Germany’s largest hubs and occasional crowding during holiday periods.

Moscow is served by several airports that cater to different needs. Sheremetyevo (SVO) is typically the city’s main international hub, favored by full-service carriers and often perceived as mid-to-upper range on fares; it lies about 29 km northwest of the center, reachable by Aeroexpress trains in roughly 35–45 minutes (tickets usually fall in a modest fixed range) or by road in 40–90 minutes depending on traffic. Domodedovo (DME) functions as another major international airport with a mix of network and charter airlines; it sits about 42 km south and offers Aeroexpress service of around 45 minutes plus taxi options. Vnukovo (VKO) can be positioned as a lower-congestion alternative used by some legacy and budget operators, roughly 28 km southwest, with Aeroexpress-like rail options and similar road transfer times. Zhukovsky (ZIA) is often a secondary airport for low-cost and charter flights, farther out at about 40–50 km and usually requiring longer rail or bus + taxi connections. Pros across airports include multiple transfer choices and clear signage; cons can include variable transfer times due to heavy Moscow traffic and occasional crowds at peak travel periods.
