Moscow is served by several major airports that split roles between international hubs and low-cost or domestic-focused gateways. Sheremetyevo (SVO) typically acts as the primary international hub with a strong presence of full-service carriers and SkyTeam partners; it’s about 30–40 km northwest of the city center, reachable by Aeroexpress trains in roughly 35–45 minutes or by car/taxi in 40–70 minutes depending on traffic (fares vary with service type). Domodedovo (DME) often handles a mix of full-service and budget airlines and sits around 40–50 km southeast, with an Aeroexpress link taking about 45–60 minutes; taxis are common but can be pricier during peak times. Vnukovo (VKO) can be a budget-leaning or business-friendly option depending on the carrier mix and sits roughly 28–35 km southwest, with Aeroexpress service to the city center taking about 35–45 minutes; road times vary with congestion. Zhukovsky (ZIA) is newer and typically used for some low-cost and charter flights, lying about 40–60 km southeast and usually requiring longer road transfers. Pros across the network include relatively frequent rail connections and a wide range of airlines; cons can include variable travel times by road, differing terminal amenities, and potential extra time for immigration and security at the busiest hubs.
Saint Petersburg is served mainly by Pulkovo Airport (LED), the city’s international gateway and busiest hub for both full-service carriers and low-cost airlines. Pulkovo typically handles most long-haul and regional flights and can be pricier than smaller regional fields but often offers competitive options when booked in advance. The airport sits about 23 km south of the city center; travel by taxi or ride-hail usually takes 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, while public buses and minibus routes take roughly 40–60 minutes with fares generally low. Pros: modern terminals, a wide route network, and rail/bus connections; cons: occasional congestion at peak times and a longer transfer time to central districts compared with centrally located airports.
