Lanzhou is served mainly by Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport (LHW), the region’s principal international and domestic gateway handling a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, with domestic routes most common. The airport sits about 70–80 km north of downtown Lanzhou, so travel times can be longer than for city airports; typical transfers by coach take around 60–90 minutes and can cost roughly CNY 20–40, while taxis or rideshares are faster but pricier (expect higher fares and longer journeys depending on traffic). A shuttle bus network and private transfers are the usual options; rail connections are limited. Pros: decent route choice for regional travel and relatively modern facilities; cons: significant distance to the city center and potential variability in transfer times and costs.
Moscow is served by several major airports, each with a distinct role. Sheremetyevo (SVO) is typically the city’s primary international hub, handling many long-haul and legacy-carrier flights and often seen as mid-to-upper range for fares. It sits about 29 km northwest of the city center; travelers can use the Aeroexpress train to Belorussky Railway Station in roughly 35–40 minutes (tickets usually cost moderate amounts), or choose taxis and buses that vary by traffic. Vnukovo (VKO) often hosts a mix of legacy and low-cost carriers and can be a cost-competitive option; it lies some 28 km southwest, with Aeroexpress service taking about 35–45 minutes and road transfers sensitive to peak congestion. Domodedovo (DME) commonly serves a blend of domestic and international carriers, frequently used for budget-conscious itineraries; it is around 42 km south and reachable by Aeroexpress in about 45 minutes or by road with fares depending on traffic and vehicle type. Moscow’s airports can differ in comfort and convenience—Aeroexpress links make center access straightforward, but road transfers may be slower and pricier during rush hours; smaller terminals may be quicker to navigate while larger hubs provide more amenities.
