Cheap Flights from San Jose to Moscow Starting at $498

San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) is the region’s primary commercial gateway, serving a mix of legacy carriers and low-cost airlines on domestic and select international routes. It’s typically viewed as more convenient than nearby San Francisco for Silicon Valley travelers, with the downtown core about 3–5 miles away; taxi or rideshare trips usually take 10–20 minutes depending on traffic, while VTA light rail and buses can take 20–40 minutes with fares generally in the low single digits. SJC is known for compact terminals and relatively short walking distances, which can make connections straightforward, though peak-hour road congestion and fewer long-haul options than larger hubs may be drawbacks for some itineraries.

Moscow is served by several airports with different roles. Sheremetyevo (SVO) is typically the main international hub, favored by full-service carriers and SkyTeam partners; it’s about 29–35 km from the city center, with Aeroexpress trains taking roughly 35–45 minutes and costing in the mid-range for rail fares, plus taxis or express buses that can be faster but pricier depending on traffic. Domodedovo (DME) often handles a mix of full-service and budget international flights; it sits roughly 42–50 km out, reachable by a 45–60 minute Aeroexpress or longer road transfers, with rail and rideshare fares varying by operator. Vnukovo (VKO) can be a convenient option for low-cost and charter services as well as some legacy carriers, located about 28–36 km southwest — Aeroexpress and buses take around 35–50 minutes, while taxis are subject to traffic. Zhukovsky (ZIA) is usually the smallest and more budget-oriented, 40–60 km southeast, with fewer public-transport options and longer transfer times. Pros across Moscow airports include a range of carrier choices and frequent rail links; cons can be distance from central districts and variable road traffic, so travelers normally weigh price versus transfer convenience.
