Moscow is served by several airports that together cover premium international traffic and budget or regional connections. Sheremetyevo (SVO) typically acts as the main international hub for full-service carriers and many long-haul flights; it sits about 29 km northwest of the city and is usually accessible by Aeroexpress train in roughly 35–45 minutes, by taxi in 40–70 minutes depending on traffic, and by buses with longer journey times — fares can range from modest public-transport rates to mid-range taxi fares. Domodedovo (DME) often handles a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers on international and domestic routes; it lies about 42 km south-southeast and is reachable by Aeroexpress in about 45 minutes or by car in 50–90 minutes. Vnukovo (VKO) tends to be the closest to the city center (around 28 km southwest) and can be convenient for some domestic and budget flights, with Aeroexpress plus local transfers or taxis taking roughly 30–60 minutes. Zhukovsky (ZIA) is newer and typically serves a growing share of charter and low-cost services, located about 36 km southeast and usually requiring longer road transfers. Pros: good rail links to central Moscow and a wide choice of carriers; cons: variable road traffic, multiple airports can confuse connections, and travel times/costs can change with peak hours.
