Moscow is served by several airports with distinct roles: Sheremetyevo (SVO) and Domodedovo (DME) typically act as the main international hubs, Vnukovo (VKO) often handles a mix of international and domestic flights and can be favored by low-cost and charter carriers, while Zhukovsky (ZIA) is usually used for seasonal, low-cost or overflow services. Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo generally host full-service carriers and alliances, so fares can be mid-to-premium on some routes; Vnukovo and Zhukovsky can sometimes offer cheaper options. Distances to the city center vary — Sheremetyevo about 30–35 km, Domodedovo 40–45 km, Vnukovo 28–35 km and Zhukovsky roughly 36–45 km. Ground links include Aeroexpress trains from Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Vnukovo taking around 30–50 minutes to central stations with fares typically in the moderate range; buses, marshrutkas and taxis provide alternatives that can be faster off-peak but slower during heavy traffic, often taking 40–90+ minutes and costing a wide range depending on service level. Pros: Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo usually offer extensive facilities and international connections; Vnukovo can be more convenient for some western approaches; Zhukovsky may be quieter and cheaper at times. Cons: All airports can be affected by Moscow road congestion and passport-control queues, so allow extra time, especially for transfers.

In different months, ticket prices from Moscow to Zurich vary: minimum — $160 (April 2026), maximum — $408 (December 2026). Typically, the flight costs $266–$273.

Zurich Airport (ZRH) is Switzerland’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and European flights and serving a mix of full-service carriers and regional operators; low-cost airlines are present but often routed through secondary carriers. Located about 10–13 km north of the city center, it’s typically perceived as mid- to higher-priced compared with budget alternatives, reflecting Swiss standards. Ground access is straightforward: frequent regional and intercity trains reach Zurich HB in about 10–15 minutes (tickets generally cost modest fares), while trams, buses and taxis take roughly 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. Pros include modern facilities and efficient connections; cons can be higher on-site costs and occasional crowds during peak hours.
