Moscow to Istanbul Flights

Airports in Moscow

Three major airports serve passengers flying out of Moscow: Domodedovo International Airport, Sheremetyevo International Airport, and Vnukovo International Airport. Russia's busiest airport is Domodedovo International Airport, which is located twenty-six miles south-south-east of downtown Moscow on Kashira Highway. This airport is served by eighty-two airlines, making it well worth the short drive if you want to fly away for a holiday. Book your flight aboard British Airways, Transaero Airlines, or another airline when you visit ebookers to make your reservation.

Parking at the Airport

Domodedovo International Airport offers fifteen minutes of free parking if you have someone bringing you to the airport for your flight. There are also areas where you can pay by the hour for short-term parking or by the day for longer parking. Long-term parking costs between 600 and 800 rubles per day, and hourly rates for short-term parking vary depending on the lot where you choose to park your vehicle.

Getting to the Airport

Other modes of transportation for reaching the airport are available if you want to avoid paying fees for parking. The Aeroexpress train takes about forty-five minutes to reach the airport from Paveletsky railway station and charges a fare of 320 rubles. Make sure you choose the express train to save some time when you travel to the airport, as the commuter train takes over an hour to reach Domodedovo International Airport from the railway station.

Places to Eat at the Airport

If you are taking a morning flight out of Moscow and have some time before your flight begins boarding, take a moment to relax with a cup of coffee from Coffeemania or a cinnamon roll from Cinnabon. The airport also has several restaurants and fast food locations where you can grab a bite to eat. Check your departure time when you book your flight on ebookers to make sure you don't miss your flight while you are eating.
