Moscow is served by several airports that together cover international, regional and budget travel needs. Sheremetyevo (SVO) typically functions as the city’s main international hub, favoured by full-service carriers and offering a wide range of long-haul and transfer connections; it sits about 30–35 km northwest of the centre and can be reached by Aeroexpress trains in roughly 35–40 minutes or by taxi in 40–70 minutes depending on traffic (fares vary widely, Aeroexpress tickets are usually modestly priced). Domodedovo (DME) often handles a mix of full-service and low-cost long-haul flights from the south and southeast, around 42–45 km southeast of downtown with Aeroexpress and express buses taking roughly 45–60 minutes; taxis can be faster but more variable. Vnukovo (VKO) is commonly used for domestic and some European routes and can be 28–30 km southwest of the centre; it’s usually reachable by Aeroexpress plus shuttle services in about 30–50 minutes or by road in a similar timeframe. Zhukovsky (ZIA) and smaller general-aviation fields can host budget, charter or business traffic and are farther out with more limited public transport. Pros across these options include frequent flight choices and rail links that avoid peak road congestion; cons can be long transfer times between airports and variable taxi costs during peak hours or bad traffic. Travelers often balance airline choice, proximity and transfer convenience when selecting which Moscow airport to use.

Varanasi’s Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport (VNS) functions as the city’s main gateway, handling a mix of domestic flights and a small number of international services. It’s typically served by full-service carriers and low-cost airlines alike, with fares often perceived as mid-range for regional travel. The airport lies about 25–30 km northwest of Varanasi’s city center; road transfers usually take 35–60 minutes depending on traffic, with taxis and app-based cabs common and fares often in the modest to moderate range, while prebooked private transfers can cost more. Pros: relatively modern terminal and fewer crowds than bigger hubs. Cons: limited international connectivity and occasional traffic variability en route.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Moscow to Varanasi is $232 (December 2025), while the maximum is $239 (February 2026). On average, a ticket costs $236–$477.
