Moscow is served by multiple airports that split roles between international and budget/domestic traffic. Sheremetyevo (SVO) is typically the main international hub, handling many long-haul and full-service carriers and often seen as mid- to upper-range in amenities; it lies about 30–35 km northwest of the city center, reachable by Aeroexpress train in roughly 35–45 minutes or by taxi in 40–70 minutes depending on traffic (fares vary widely from fixed Aeroexpress plus metro costs to taxi meters). Domodedovo (DME) usually hosts a mix of major and low-cost airlines, located about 40–45 km south of central Moscow with Aeroexpress and buses taking around 45–60 minutes; taxis can be faster but are subject to congestion. Vnukovo (VKO) often serves domestic and budget routes, about 28–35 km southwest of the center and connected by Aeroexpress and buses in roughly 35–60 minutes; it can be a more economical option but may have fewer long-haul services. Lastly, Zhukovsky (ZIA) can be used mainly for low-cost or seasonal flights, around 40–45 km southeast, accessible by road or regional buses in 50–90 minutes; transport options may be less frequent. Pros across the network include multiple airport choices and decent rail links; cons can be long transit times, variable traffic, and differing levels of facilities depending on the airport and carrier.

Nanjing Lukou International Airport (NKG) serves as the city’s primary international gateway and a regional hub handling most long-haul and many domestic flights. It typically hosts full-service carriers alongside several low-cost and Chinese regional airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and route. The airport sits about 35–40 km southeast of Nanjing city center; common transfers include airport express buses (roughly 40–70 minutes, fares usually modest), taxis or rideshares (about 35–60 minutes, higher cost), and increasingly convenient intercity rail/tunnel connections. Pros: modern facilities, international connectivity and several transport options; cons: significant travel time to downtown and occasional congestion at peak periods.

The cost of a one-way flight from Moscow to Nanjing ranges from $252 (September 2026) to $539 (July 2027). On average, the ticket price is about $322–$351.
