Moscow is served by several major airports with distinct roles. Sheremetyevo (SVO) is the main international hub, typically handling most long-haul and SkyTeam flights and often seen as a full-service option; it lies about 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 usually varying widely. Domodedovo (DME), around 42 km southeast, is another international gateway often used by a mix of legacy and charter carriers; Aeroexpress takes about 45–55 minutes and taxis can be comparable in cost. Vnukovo (VKO) sits roughly 28 km southwest and can be a convenient choice for some domestic and budget international routes, with Aeroexpress-like rail options and 30–60 minute taxi rides. Zhukovsky (ZIA) is smaller and typically sees low-cost and charter services, about 40 km southeast with fewer public-transport direct links. Pros: multiple choices across price and carrier profiles and decent rail links to central Moscow. Cons: travel times can be unpredictable because of traffic, terminals are spread across the metropolitan area, and transfer between airports can be time-consuming.

Lhasa Gonggar Airport (LXA) serves as Tibet’s primary air gateway and typically functions as a regional hub for both domestic carriers and a handful of airlines offering limited international services. Airlines are usually a mix of Chinese state carriers and smaller regional operators, with fares often higher than comparable mainland routes due to demand and operating costs. The airport lies about 60–70 km southwest of Lhasa city centre, and most travelers reach the city by shuttle bus, taxi, or prearranged transfers—journeys can take roughly 1–1.5 hours depending on traffic and road conditions; shuttle fares and taxis usually fall into modest ranges but can vary. Pros: scenic approaches and basic passenger facilities; cons: longer transfer times and altitude-related health considerations for newcomers.

In different months, ticket prices from Moscow to Lhasa vary: minimum — $331 (November 2025), maximum — $524 (September 2026). Typically, the flight costs $415–$806.
