Moscow is served by several airports with distinct roles: Sheremetyevo (SVO) typically functions as the main international hub and is often used by full-service carriers, while Domodedovo (DME) also handles many long-haul and domestic flights and can be positioned as a major network gateway. Vnukovo (VKO) tends to carry a mix of full-service and low-cost operators and can be a convenient alternative for southwest arrivals. Zhukovsky (ZIA) is smaller and typically used for charter and some scheduled services. Travel times to the city center vary by airport — roughly 30–50 minutes from Sheremetyevo or Domodedovo by Aeroexpress plus metro or 40–60 minutes by road depending on traffic; fares for Aeroexpress are usually in the mid-range for rail services, while taxis and ride-shares can be quicker but more variable in price. Pros: multiple airport choices can offer flexibility on routes and fares; Aeroexpress links provide reliable rail alternatives. Cons: heavy traffic and distance from central Moscow can make road transfers slow, and services may be busier during peak periods.
Johannesburg is served primarily by OR Tambo International (JNB), the country’s main international gateway and a regional aviation hub that typically handles full-service carriers and many long-haul flights. It is located about 22 km east of the city centre, with Gautrain express services taking roughly 20–25 minutes to Sandton or Johannesburg Park Station for fares around ZAR 100–140; metered taxis or app-based rides are common and can take 30–45 minutes depending on traffic. Lanseria (HLA), northwest of the city, can be a budget-friendly alternative for some domestic and low-cost regional services, about 35–40 km away and usually accessed by shuttle or taxi. OR Tambo offers more facilities and frequent connections, while Lanseria can be quieter and simpler but with fewer carrier choices.
