Manchester Airport (MAN) is the region’s main international hub, serving a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines on routes across Europe, North America and beyond. It’s typically the pricier option compared with nearby regional fields but often offers the greatest route choice and frequency. The airport sits about 14 miles (22 km) south of Manchester city centre; journey times are roughly 20–30 minutes by direct train (Northern/TransPennine Express) or 30–50 minutes by car depending on traffic. Tram (Metrolink) links arrive via nearby stations, while taxis and coach services provide direct connections — expect fares and times to vary by service and time of day. Pros: wide flight selection, good facilities; cons: can be busy at peak times and transfer waits may be longer.

Moscow is served by several major airports that split roles between full-service international hubs and budget-lean terminals. Sheremetyevo (SVO) typically functions as the primary international gateway, handling many long-haul and full-service carriers; it is located about 29–30 km northwest of the city center and can be reached by Aeroexpress train in roughly 35–45 minutes or by taxi in 40–70 minutes depending on traffic (fares vary widely). Domodedovo (DME) is another large international airport to the south, often used by a mix of legacy and low-cost carriers and reachable via Aeroexpress in around 45–50 minutes or by road in 50–80 minutes. Vnukovo (VKO) to the southwest is commonly favored by some budget and charter operators and can be accessed by Aeroexpress plus bus or direct taxis, typically taking 35–60 minutes. Moscow’s smaller Zhukovsky (ZIA) can serve charter and seasonal flights and is farther out, so transfers tend to be longer. Pros include frequent flight options and relatively fast rail links; cons can be long security lines and variable road traffic, making transfer times and perceived costs fluctuate.
