There are 3 passenger airports in Moscow. Sheremetyevo, Domodedevo and Vnukovo.
Sheremetyevo has 6 terminals: Terminal A is for business and private flights, B is for domestic low-cost flights, C is for international charter airlines, D is mainly for flights by the company Aeroflot, E unifies terminal D and F and has a few Aeroflot flights, F is the main international terminal. The main option to get into the city centre from Sheremetyevo is to use Aeroexpress; an express train service that operates every half hour between Sheremetyevo terminals DEF to Belorussky railway station. There is also a free shuttle bus service to terminals B and C.

Domodedevo is the farthest airport from the city centre. It's a fairly new airport and therefore has good quality services.
There are a couple of options to get into the city centre from the airport. There is a train service which takes 40minutes to get into Paveletsky Station. Tickets can be purchased at the ticket desk in the terminal.
Another option is to get a shuttle bus to the nearest metro station, Domodedovskaya. The journey lasts approximately 30 min. Tickets are bought on the bus.

Vnukovo serves mainly domestic flights but some international flights, mainly from Eastern Europe. This airport is also served by an Aeroexpress line to Kievsky station. The train departs on the hour and a single adult ticket costs 320roubles.
Of course from every airport you are able to catch a taxi to the centre, but be careful because they may be extremely expensive and tend to charge foreign visitors much higher rates than locals. To be extra careful, we recommend you booking a transfer with Express to Russia in advance. This is the safest way to avoid being overcharged.
