Travelers usually reach central Moscow by Aeroexpress train in roughly 35–45 minutes (paid fare range), or by taxi and buses in 45–90 minutes depending on traffic. Vnukovo (VKO) often handles a mix of domestic and some international flights, including low-cost and charter services; it sits about 28 km southwest, reachable via Aeroexpress plus local transport in about 35–60 minutes.

Pros across the network include multiple rail links and frequent connections; cons can be variable traffic, occasional waits at immigration for international arrivals, and differing levels of facilities between terminals.
