Moscow is served by several airports with distinct roles. Sheremetyevo (SVO) functions as the city’s main international hub, typically handling long-haul and premium carriers and often perceived as pricier for transfers; it sits about 30 km northwest of central Moscow, reachable by Aeroexpress train in roughly 35–45 minutes or by taxi in 45–70 minutes depending on traffic, with fares for rail and road varying by operator. Domodedovo (DME) is another international gateway popular with both legacy and low-cost carriers, about 45 km southeast of the center and linked by Aeroexpress in around 45 minutes or by bus/taxi in 60+ minutes; it can be a bit cheaper for some routes. Vnukovo (VKO) tends to cater to domestic and budget flights as well as some international services, located some 28 km southwest and accessible via Aeroexpress plus shuttle or taxi in about 35–50 minutes. Smaller/private Zhukovsky (ZIA) handles charter and overflow traffic and can be a budget-friendly option but is farther out and less frequent in ground connections. Pros across Moscow’s airports include multiple rail and road links and a wide airline mix; cons can be long transfer times in peak traffic and occasional variability in perceived cost and comfort depending on terminal and carrier.

Tolmachevo Airport (CEK) in Chelyabinsk typically serves as the region’s main air gateway, handling a mix of domestic flights and some seasonal or regional international services. The airport tends to host Russian carriers and low-cost operators on domestic routes, with ticket prices often perceived as mid-range for the Ural region. It lies roughly 20–25 km north of Chelyabinsk city center; travel by taxi can take about 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, while fixed-route minibuses and local buses may take 40–60 minutes. Taxi fares are usually moderate, and bus tickets are low-cost. Pros: compact terminals and straightforward transfers; cons: limited international connectivity and fewer amenities than larger hubs.

In different months, ticket prices from Moscow to Chelyabinsk vary: minimum — $64 (November 2025), maximum — $244 (July 2026). Typically, the flight costs $140–$174.
