Sheremetyevo International (SVO)
Tel: (495) 232 6565.
Website: www.sheremetyevo-airport.ru
Located 30km (19 miles) from Moscow, Sheremetyevo is the busiest of Moscow's airports (the city's other airports are Vnukovo, Domodedovo and Bykovo) and the only one with Domodedovo to receive flights from Western destinations.
Airport facilities: These include banks, bureaux de change, a post office with fax and e-mail services, newsagents, a pharmacy, left-luggage, first-aid facilities, duty-free shops, and a limited number of restaurants, bars, and cafés. Car hire is available from Avis and Europcar.
Transport to the city: Most hotels will arrange to pick up their guests in a courtesy van for a fee. Taxis are probably the next simplest and safest way to get to the city, although they are the most expensive. It is a good idea to book before arrival if possible because fares on arrival will often be at least twice as expensive.

A train line links Moscow Savyolovsky metro Station with Lobnya mainline Station, from where shuttles offer a transfer to the airport (whole journey time - 1 hour).
