Moscow is served by several airports with distinct roles: Sheremetyevo (SVO) is typically the main international hub favored by legacy carriers and for long-haul flights; Domodedovo (DME) often handles a mix of full-service and international routes and can be a mid-range option; Vnukovo (VKO) is frequently used by both legacy and some low-cost operators and can be convenient for western approaches; Zhukovsky (ZIA) is usually a smaller, budget-leaning option for select airlines and seasonal services. Transfer times to central Moscow vary — expect roughly 30–60 minutes from Sheremetyevo or Vnukovo, about 45–90 minutes from Domodedovo, and 60–90 minutes from Zhukovsky depending on traffic. Public transport choices include Aeroexpress trains from Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Vnukovo to key rail terminals (30–50 minutes; fares typically moderate), metro plus bus options (longer but cheaper), and taxis or ride-hailing services that can be faster but usually cost more and depend on congestion. Pros: broad international connectivity and multiple terminal choices; cons: variable journey times, occasional congestion, and differing service levels between terminals and low-cost operators.
