Flights to Moscow – Two airports to choose from
Moscow is the capital of the new-ish Russian Federation, a city 18 miles across with a population of ten million. Many flights to Moscow land at Domodedovo International Airport, 21 miles south of Moscow. They’re busy expanding Terminal 2, due to be finished in 2012, and they’re planning a third terminal too. Once they’ve finished, flights to Moscow’s Domodedovo airport will see you joining the phenomenal 35 million other people due to pass through there every year. The airport’s two terminals, International and Domestic, are in one building so you can walk between them without freezing your bits off in winter. How to get there? Follow the airport roads to the main Moscow road, Kashirskoe Highway, and follow the signs.
Moscow Flights – Sheremetyevo or Domodedovo?
Other flights to Moscow drop you off at the city’s second airport, Moscow Sheremetyevo International, 18 miles to the north west of the city. They’re busy building a third terminal and have already opened up a new terminal building. The fast train connection to Moscow should be finished by the end of 2008 so flights to Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport are due to become a popular option. Vladivostok is a long way off but you can get there if you fancy seeing some of the most desolate landscapes on earth. Not exactly a tourist hot spot. Business travellers find themselves in Moscow regularly these days despite ongoing international tensions. We think it all looks a bit grim, although those lovely twiddly, twirly colourful buildings are amazing.
Flights to Moscow – Cold, hot and everything in between
Flights to Moscow leave you three hours ahead of London GMT time so there’s no chance of jet lag. Thing is, it can be extremely cold there. And extremely hot too. Because it has an intercontinental climate, Russia’s a place of extremes. Only three and a half hours away by air but it might as well be on a different planet. If you’re imagining serried rows of Russians all looking the same, think again. Although Slavs make up three quarters of the population the remaining 25% consists of a mix of people from more than 100 different ethnic groups. Not unlike London.
