Moscow is served by several airports that together cover international, regional and low-cost travel needs. Sheremetyevo (SVO) typically functions as the main international hub and is commonly used by full-service carriers, often perceived as mid-to-upper in price; it lies about 30 km northwest of central Moscow and can be reached by Aeroexpress train in roughly 35–45 minutes or by road in 40–80 minutes depending on traffic (taxis and ride-hailing usually cost more than public options). Domodedovo (DME) is another major international gateway to the south, often favored by both legacy and some low-cost airlines; Aeroexpress links DME to the city in about 45 minutes, with comparable taxi times. Vnukovo (VKO) is a bit closer to the city center (around 28 km) and can be a practical option for certain domestic and international carriers, offering Aeroexpress and road connections of roughly 30–60 minutes. Zhukovsky (ZIA) serves more budget and charter traffic and can be notably farther out, with longer transfer times and fewer public-transport options. Pros: plenty of route choices across airports and frequent train links for predictable city access. Cons: multiple airports increase the chance of longer transfers and traffic variability; low-cost terminals can be more basic in comfort and services.

Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Sepinggan Airport (BPN) serves Balikpapan as the city’s main international and regional gateway, handling a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers—typically Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air group, and regional airlines. Fares can be moderate to high compared with smaller Indonesian domestic airports, especially on international or peak-season flights. The airport sits about 4–7 km northwest of downtown Balikpapan; taxis and app-based rides usually take 15–25 minutes (fares often range from modest fixed-meter rates to slightly higher app surcharges), while airport shuttles and private transfers are also common. Pros: modern terminal, decent connectivity and relatively short transfer times. Cons: can be busy during holidays and international options may be limited compared with major hubs.
