Cheap Flights from Wellington to Moscow — $679

Wellington International Airport (WLG) serves as New Zealand’s southern gateway and typically functions as a compact international and domestic hub rather than a large premium airport. It usually handles a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines on short trans-Tasman and domestic routes, so fares can be competitive for regional travel. The airport is about 6–8 km from Wellington CBD; shuttle buses and public buses take roughly 20–30 minutes (fares usually modest), while taxis and rideshares take around 15–25 minutes with higher, variable fares. Pros: close to the city and quick transfers; cons: smaller terminal with limited long-haul services and sometimes windy conditions affecting operations.

Moscow is served by several airports that serve different traveler needs. Sheremetyevo (SVO) is the city’s primary international hub, typically handling many long-haul and SkyTeam flights and often perceived as a mid- to higher-end option; it sits about 29 km north of the center and is reachable by Aeroexpress train in roughly 35–40 minutes (fares usually around ₽500–₽700) or by taxi in 40–70 minutes depending on traffic. Domodedovo (DME) is another major international airport favored by a range of carriers including full-service and low-cost airlines; it lies about 42 km southeast and offers an Aeroexpress link taking about 45–50 minutes (similar fare range) plus bus and taxi options. Vnukovo (VKO) tends to serve both business and budget routes and is about 28 km southwest; an Aeroexpress run reaches the city in around 35–45 minutes, and taxis can be faster off-peak. Zhukovsky (ZIA) is a newer option farther out (about 40–50 km) mainly for low-cost and charter services, where road transfers can be lengthy in heavy traffic. Pros across the network include solid rail links and multiple carrier choices; cons can be long transfer times during peak hours and varying service levels by airport.
