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.
