Moscow is served by several airports with distinct roles. Sheremetyevo (SVO) is the main international hub, typically handling long-haul and full-service carriers and often seen as mid-to-high priced for transfers and services; it’s about 30–35 km north of central Moscow and reachable by Aeroexpress train in roughly 35–45 minutes (tickets usually fall in a modest fare range) or by taxi in 40–60 minutes depending on traffic. Domodedovo (DME) south of the city is also an international gateway with a mix of legacy and budget carriers; Aeroexpress takes about 45–55 minutes and roadway transfers can be longer. Vnukovo (VKO) to the southwest is often used by charter and low-cost airlines and can be slightly cheaper to fly into; it’s about 30–35 km from downtown with an Aeroexpress link taking about 35–40 minutes or taxis and buses available. Zhukovsky (ZIA) is a newer, smaller airport mostly serving low-cost and charter flights; it’s farther out and transit can be slower. Pros across the network include multiple service levels and rail connections; cons can be variable journey times by road, occasional congestion, and differing amenities between airports.
Athens International Airport (ATH) is Greece’s primary international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers and several low-cost airlines, so you’ll typically find a mix of connections and price options. Located about 20 km east of central Athens (roughly 30–45 minutes by car depending on traffic), it’s served by the suburban rail and the metro (around 40 minutes to Syntagma) as well as express buses and taxis; fares can range from modest public transport charges to mid-tier taxi fares. The airport usually offers modern terminals, lounges and good onward connectivity, though peak-season crowds and occasional traffic delays can affect comfort and transfer times.
