Moscow’s airport system is split among several major gateways serving different roles. Sheremetyevo (SVO) is the main international hub, typically handling most long-haul and premium carriers and often priced mid-to-high for international routes; it sits about 29–35 km northwest of the city center and can be reached by Aeroexpress train in roughly 35–45 minutes or by taxi in 40–70 minutes depending on traffic (fares vary from moderate train fares to higher taxi rates). Vnukovo (VKO) functions as a mix of budget and full-service operations, commonly hosting low-cost and domestic flights; it’s around 28–30 km southwest of central Moscow, reachable by Aeroexpress in about 35–40 minutes or by car in 40–60 minutes, with generally lower ground-transport fares. Domodedovo (DME) is another major international airport often used by a mix of legacy and budget carriers; located roughly 42–45 km southeast of downtown, it’s connected by Aeroexpress in about 45–50 minutes and by road in 50–80 minutes, so travellers might trade slightly higher transfer times for wider route options. Smaller airports and private terminals can serve specific domestic or business traffic. Pros across Moscow airports typically include extensive route networks and regular high-frequency services, while cons can be variable transfer times due to traffic, occasional crowding, and differing terminal amenities.
The minimum one-way ticket price from Moscow to Urumqi is $212 (December 2025), while the maximum is $415 (September 2026). On average, a ticket costs $298–$306.
