Kunming is served primarily by Kunming Changshui International Airport (KMG), the city’s main international and domestic gateway that typically handles full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines. Located about 24–30 km northeast of the city center, journey times can be around 30–50 minutes by airport express bus or taxi depending on traffic; fares for the airport bus are usually modest while taxis can be more variable. The airport is a regional hub for flights across China and Southeast Asia, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium on long-haul routes. Pros: modern facilities, frequent connections and multiple ground transport options. Cons: the distance from downtown can add transfer time and occasional congestion during peak periods.

Moscow is served by several airports with distinct roles. Sheremetyevo (SVO) typically functions as the main international hub, favored by full-service carriers and offering a wide range of long‑haul flights; it sits about 29–30 km northwest of the city center and can be reached by Aeroexpress train in roughly 35–45 minutes or by taxi in 40–70 minutes depending on traffic, with fares and transfer options varying. Domodedovo (DME) is often a major long‑haul and domestic gateway used by a mix of flag and leisure carriers; it lies around 42 km south and usually takes 45–60 minutes by Aeroexpress/train+bus or longer by road. Vnukovo (VKO) can serve both domestic and some international flights and tends to be used by business and charter operators; it’s about 28 km southwest and reachable in 30–50 minutes by road or Aeroexpress-like services. Zhukovsky (ZIA) and smaller regional fields can be budget or seasonal options. Pros include multiple airport choices and good rail links; cons are variable traffic delays, differing transfer times, and potential extra time for immigration and baggage at peak periods.
