Why go
The legacy guide contains obsolete airline and terminal assignments. The useful replacement is a decision process: verify the exact airport code, check the current official ground connection and leave a realistic margin for security, traffic and interchange walking. Airport codes are the dependable starting point.
The full story
Moscow is served by several airports, and a city name alone is not enough to identify the arrival point. Match the airport code and terminal on the current booking, then consult the airport and transport operator for the latest transfer options. Rail services, buses and taxis may all be available, but their hours, fares and stopping patterns change. A train can avoid road congestion; a licensed taxi may be easier with luggage or for a destination away from the rail terminal. Confirm any pickup through an official or reputable channel and ignore unsolicited ride offers. If you connect onward by Metro, account for escalators, corridors and the distance between railway arrival and the correct line. Late arrivals need a verified fallback rather than an assumed all-night service. Keep accommodation details accessible offline and know which side or entrance of a large building is required. The best transfer depends on the current airport, arrival time and final district—not a single universal route.
