Sheremetyevo International (SVO) is Moscow’s primary international gateway and often serves as a hub for full-service carriers, making it a common choice for long-haul and business travelers. It sits roughly 29 km northwest of central Moscow; typical transit options include Aeroexpress train (about 35–45 minutes) and taxis or rideshares (40–70 minutes depending on traffic), with fares for public rail and shuttle services generally modest but variable. Terminals can be modern and comfortable, though peak times may bring longer lines; overall it’s convenient for international connections but can feel busy during rush periods. Domodedovo International (DME) functions as another major international airport with a mix of full-service and some low-cost operators, often used for both regional and long-haul flights. Located around 42 km south of the city center, travelers usually take the Aeroexpress (about 45–55 minutes) or road transport (50–90 minutes in traffic); fares for rail and buses tend to be reasonable. The airport typically offers good ground transport links and a broad route network, but distance and variable road congestion can add time and cost to city transfers. Vnukovo International (VKO) often handles a mix of domestic and international traffic and can be preferred by some business and private flyers; it hosts a blend of legacy carriers and charter services. It lies roughly 28 km southwest of central Moscow, reachable by Aeroexpress (about 35–50 minutes) or car (35–75 minutes depending on traffic), with rail and shuttle fares usually affordable. The airport can be less crowded than the largest hubs, offering a potentially smoother experience, though fewer flight options may apply compared with the busiest terminals. Zhukovsky International (ZIA) is typically positioned as a secondary international option, often handling charter flights, low-cost services, and overflow international routes rather than being a primary hub. It’s located about 40 km southeast of central Moscow; travel times by road are commonly 50–90 minutes and public connections are more limited, which can make taxis or transfers the most practical choice, with fares higher than central rail options. ZIA can be cost-competitive for certain routes but may trade off convenience and frequency for lower fares and less congestion.

Fly direct from Moscow to Osaka for the quickest, most convenient way to bridge Russia and Japan — fewer hassles, more time to enjoy Osaka’s food and culture. While connecting flights can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop saves hours and delivers a more comfortable, stress-free journey so you arrive ready to explore.

Osaka is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Kansai International (KIX) is the larger international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as some low-cost airlines; it sits on an artificial island about 50–55 km (roughly 45–60 minutes by train) southwest of central Osaka. Access options include the JR Haruka or Nankai Limited Express trains (fares typically in the mid-range for Japan), airport limousine buses and taxis, which can be more expensive. Kansai is convenient for international connections but can feel remote. Osaka Itami (ITM), nearer the city (about 10–15 minutes by bus or 20–30 minutes by car), is primarily a domestic and regional airport used by full-service and budget domestic carriers; ground transfers are quicker and usually cheaper. Itami is handy for short domestic hops, while Kansai is the go-to for overseas travel.

The cost of a one-way flight from Moscow to Osaka ranges from $252 (May 2026) to $597 (October 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $422–$433.
