Moscow is served by several major airports with distinct roles. Sheremetyevo (SVO) is typically the international premium hub used by full-service carriers and many long-haul flights; it sits about 29–31 km northwest of the city center. Travelers usually reach SVO by Aeroexpress train in roughly 35–45 minutes (paid tickets vary) or by taxi/ride-hail in 40–70 minutes depending on traffic, with public buses offering cheaper, slower options. Domodedovo (DME) functions as a large international and domestic gateway often favored by both network and low-cost airlines; it’s around 35 km south of downtown and reachable by Aeroexpress in about 45–55 minutes or by road in similar times. Vnukovo (VKO) serves a mix of charter, domestic and some international flights and can be a budget-friendly choice for some routes; it is approximately 28–30 km southwest and linked by Aeroexpress (about 35–45 minutes) and buses. Zhukovsky (ZIA) is a newer, smaller airport used mainly for low-cost and charter services and can be farther from central Moscow (roughly 40–50 km), with ground transfers taking longer. Pros across the airports include multiple transport modes and frequent flight options; cons can be inconsistent traffic times, variable transfer costs, and differences in terminal comfort and amenities depending on the airport.

Helsinki Airport (HEL) is Finland’s primary international gateway and typically serves as the country’s main hub for both full-service and low-cost carriers, with Finnair operating a strong network of Nordic, European and intercontinental routes. The airport sits about 20–25 km north of Helsinki city centre; typical transfer options include the commuter train (approx. 30–35 minutes), regional buses or taxis (25–40 minutes depending on traffic), with fares for public transport usually in a modest range and taxi rides costing more. Travelers can expect a compact, modern terminal with good shopping and lounges—convenient for connections but sometimes busier and pricier than smaller regional fields. Public transport accessibility and reliable onward connections are major advantages; occasional peak-time crowds or higher on-site food and parking costs are possible downsides.

In different months, ticket prices from Moscow to Helsinki vary: minimum — $152 (February 2026), maximum — $387 (August 2026). Typically, the flight costs $252–$260.
