Moscow is served by several major airports with distinct roles. Sheremetyevo (SVO) acts as the primary international hub, typically handling long-haul carriers and premium services; it’s about 30–35 km northwest of the city center and reachable by Aeroexpress trains in roughly 35–45 minutes or by taxi in 40–60 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying widely by provider. Domodedovo (DME) commonly hosts both full-service and many international low-cost flights; located about 42–45 km southeast, it’s connected via Aeroexpress (approximately 45–50 minutes) and road transfers. Vnukovo (VKO) is often a mix of domestic and budget international services, around 28–30 km southwest, with Aeroexpress-like rail links or buses taking 30–50 minutes. Zonal transport options include buses and regular taxis; rides can be economical or premium-priced depending on service level. Pros: broad carrier choice and frequent connections; cons: distances and Moscow traffic can make transfers time-consuming, and services/ fares can vary by airport.

Rio de Janeiro is served by two main airports with different roles. Rio–Galeão International (GIG) is the principal international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as some domestic flights; it’s located about 20–25 km from downtown (roughly 30–50 minutes by car depending on traffic) and can be reached by express bus, regulated taxis and ride-hailing services—expect fares to vary with distance and time of day. Santos Dumont (SDU) is closer to the city center (around 3–8 km; typically 10–20 minutes by car) and focuses mainly on domestic and regional routes operated by short-haul and business-friendly carriers. Public transport options include VLT/tram connections and commuter trains near central areas; airport buses and taxis serve both fields. Galeão can feel more suited to international and full-service travelers but may take longer to reach the city, while Santos Dumont is convenient for quick city access but offers fewer international options. Consider transit time and carrier mix when choosing between them.

While connecting routes can sometimes be cheaper, a direct flight saves valuable time and offers a more comfortable, stress-free journey between Brazil and Russia.
