Cheap Flights from Seattle to Moscow Starting at $491

Moscow is served by several airports that together handle international, regional and low-cost traffic. Sheremetyevo (SVO) functions as the main international hub, typically hosting legacy carriers and offering more premium services; it lies about 30–35 km northwest of the city center and is usually reachable by Aeroexpress train in roughly 35–45 minutes or by taxi in 40–70 minutes depending on traffic, with fares that can range from moderate to higher for private cars. Vnukovo (VKO) sits southwest at around 28–30 km and often handles a mix of scheduled and charter flights; Aeroexpress and bus links take about 35–60 minutes, making it a common choice for value-conscious travelers. Domodedovo (DME), roughly 42–45 km southeast, is another large gateway that commonly serves a mix of carriers and can be cost-competitive; it’s connected by Aeroexpress in about 45–50 minutes, with taxis taking longer. Zhukovsky (ZIA) and Ostafyevo serve niche, budget or business traffic and can be further out, with more limited public transport and fewer on-site amenities. Pros across the network include multiple service options and direct international links; cons can be variable wait times, heavy road traffic to the center, and differences in terminal comfort and transport convenience between airports.

Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (SEA), commonly called SeaTac, is the region’s main international and domestic hub, handling legacy carriers and many low-cost airlines alike. Located about 14 miles south of downtown Seattle, it’s typically reached by Link light rail in roughly 35–45 minutes (single-ride fares vary by distance and time of day), taxis or rideshares in 20–35 minutes with surge pricing as a factor, or shuttles and regional buses that can take longer. SeaTac often has mid-to-higher ticket prices on peak routes but can be competitive on budget carriers’ offerings. Pros: wide route network and good public-transit links; cons: can be busy during peak hours and security lines may be lengthy.
