Cheap Flights from Moscow to San Francisco — $590

Moscow is served by several airports with distinct roles: Sheremetyevo (SVO) is the main international hub favoured by full-service carriers and SkyTeam members, while Domodedovo (DME) is another large international gateway often used by legacy and some mid-market airlines. Vnukovo (VKO) can be more convenient for business traffic and some low-cost routes, and Zhukovsky (ZIA) handles a mix of charter and budget services. Transfer times to central Moscow vary: SVO is about 30–50 minutes by Aeroexpress train or 40–90 minutes by road, DME roughly 35–45 minutes by Aeroexpress or 45–90 minutes by car, VKO around 30–60 minutes by road, and ZIA typically 45–75 minutes by road. Rail links (Aeroexpress) and intercity buses are common for SVO and DME; taxis and ride-hailing operate at all airports with fares varying widely based on traffic and service level. Typical pros: strong international connectivity at SVO and DME and reliable rail connections; typical cons: peak-hour congestion, variable travel times by car, and occasional extra fees for transfers or baggage. Prices for flights can be perceived as premium at main hubs and sometimes lower at VKO/ZIA when budget carriers or charters operate.

San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is the region’s primary international gateway and a major hub for full-service carriers, with numerous long-haul and domestic flights alongside some low-cost options. It sits about 13 miles south of downtown San Francisco; travel times can range from 20–40 minutes by BART or 20–60 minutes by car depending on traffic. BART offers a direct rapid link with fares typically in the low double digits, while airport shuttles, ride-hailing and taxis are common choices with variable fares and journey times. Travelers often value SFO for its broad route network and transit links, though busy security lines and occasional traffic can affect comfort and convenience.
