Sheremetyevo International Airport is located
29km (18 miles) north-west of Moscow

The airport is a hub for the passenger operations of the Russian international airline Aeroflot, and one of the three major airports serving Moscow along with Domodedovo International Airport and Vnukovo.

Flights to cities in Russia and charter flights arrive and depart from Sheremetyevo 1.   Sheremetyevo 2, the larger of the two terminals, is the arrival and departure point for international flights.

There is no physical connection between the two terminals; they are essentially separate airports using the same set of runways.

Getting to Sheremetyevo airport from Moscow

It can take anywhere from 20 minutes to two hours from the city center to get to the airport. The main road leading to the airport, Leningradskoe Highway, can get clogged during the rush hours.

Calling a cab from downtown Moscow to Sheremetyevo costs around $30–40. Slow buses and faster minivans (fixed price shared taxis, known as marshrutkas) connect Sheremetyevo with Moscow's extensive metro network.
