Moscow is served by several major airports with different roles. Sheremetyevo (SVO) typically functions as the city’s primary international hub, handling many long-haul and premium-carrier flights — Aeroflot and other full-service airlines are commonly found here. Domodedovo (DME) often serves a mix of international and domestic routes and can be competitive on price, hosting both legacy and low-cost carriers. Vnukovo (VKO) tends to handle more domestic and regional services and can be convenient for southwest arrivals. Zhukovsky (ZIA) is generally a newer option used for some charter and low-cost operations and can be cheaper on select routes. All four airports sit at varying distances from central Moscow: Sheremetyevo is roughly 30–35 km northwest, Domodedovo about 42–50 km south, Vnukovo around 28–35 km southwest, and Zhukovsky approximately 40–45 km southeast. Transfer options usually include Aeroexpress trains (when available) taking about 30–45 minutes to central terminals with fares typically in a moderate range; airport buses and city marshrutkas can take 45–90 minutes depending on traffic and are usually cheaper; taxis and ride-hailing services offer door-to-door trips that can vary widely in cost and time with peak-hour congestion. Pros and cons differ by airport: Sheremetyevo often provides more international connections and extensive lounges but can be busier; Domodedovo may offer good route variety with competitive fares yet can require longer road transfers; Vnukovo can be quicker to reach from the southwest and less crowded, though it has fewer long-haul options; Zhukovsky can be a budget-friendly alternative for some flights but is farther from the center and has more limited ground transport. Travelers can typically choose between speed and direct connectivity versus lower fares and regional convenience.

Varanasi’s Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport (VNS) serves as the city’s main gateway, functioning as a regional and growing international hub rather than a large long‑haul airport. It typically handles a mix of full‑service and low‑cost Indian carriers, so fares can range from budget‑friendly to moderate depending on season and carrier. The airport sits about 26–30 km west of the old city; road transfers usually take 45–70 minutes by taxi or app cab and can be quicker off‑peak, with fares commonly in the economical to mid‑range for local standards. Shared shuttles and private cars are widely used, while public buses and pre‑booked transfers offer cheaper but slower options. Pros: generally compact and easier to navigate than mega airports, with convenient connections to key pilgrimage sites; cons: limited late‑night services and fewer international routes than larger Indian hubs.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Varanasi to Moscow is $278 (November 2025), while the maximum is $358 (March 2026). On average, a ticket costs $322–$670.
