Moscow is served by several airports with distinct roles. Sheremetyevo (SVO) is the main international hub, typically handling long-haul and premium carriers such as Aeroflot and many SkyTeam partners; it’s about 29 km northwest of the city center and reachable by Aeroexpress train in roughly 35–45 minutes or by taxi in 40–70 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying by service. Domodedovo (DME) tends to be a major base for both full-service and many leisure airlines and sits around 42 km south; Aeroexpress trains take about 40–50 minutes and taxis can be 45–80 minutes. Vnukovo (VKO) often serves low-cost, business, and some charter flights, positioned about 28 km southwest with an Aeroexpress link and similar taxi times. Zhukovsky (ZIA) is a newer, smaller option mainly for charter and seasonal services, about 40 km southeast and usually quieter but with fewer transport choices. Pros: SVO and DME offer extensive connections and frequent rail links; VKO and ZIA can be less crowded and sometimes lower-cost. Cons: travel times can be long in peak traffic, transfer costs add up, and transport frequency at smaller airports can be limited.

Tehran is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKIA) functions as the main international gateway and is typically used by full-service carriers and many long‑haul flights; it sits about 30–45 km south of central Tehran, with travel times commonly ranging from 40 minutes to 1¼ hours by car depending on traffic, or around the same by airport express bus for modest fares. Mehrabad Airport historically handled most domestic and some regional services and can be cheaper and closer—roughly 8–12 km west of the city center—making taxi trips of 20–40 minutes or metro connections often quicker and less costly. Pros: IKIA offers modern international facilities and more onward connections; Mehrabad is convenient for domestic travellers and shorter commutes. Cons: both can be affected by Tehran’s heavy traffic and peak‑time delays, and ground transfer times and costs may vary by time of day.

In different months, ticket prices from Moscow to Tehran vary: minimum — $137 (November 2025), maximum — $265 (August 2026). Typically, the flight costs $168–$178.
