Where is Vnukovo located?
Before telling you how to get to Vnukovo Airport, it’s worth figuring out where it is located.
Vnukovo Airport is located outside the Moscow Ring Road, 28 km southwest of the center of Moscow and consists of three air terminal complexes.
Vnukovo-1 is responsible for transporting ordinary passengers. There are three terminals here, each of which takes on a specific task:

- Terminal B is responsible for charter flights and Asian low-cost airlines. It accounts for 19% of passengers.
- Terminal D is currently out of service and is only used for arrivals and post-arrival screening of some flights.

Vnukovo airport: how to get there?
Moscow is very close to the main Vnukovo terminals, which means there are many ways to get to them:
- by Aeroexpress;
- by car;
- by bus and minibus.
All of these options have their pros and cons. Some are attracted by the price, others by the opportunity to quickly find themselves in the right place.
How to get to Vnukovo Airport by metro
The airport is located outside the Moscow Ring Road, away from the metro, but there are minibuses and buses from some stations (Yugo-Zapadnaya and Oktyabrskaya), and an Aeroexpress from Kievsky Station (Kievskaya metro station).
Aeroexpress Vnukovo is a high-speed train that travels non-stop to the final destination Vnukovo-1 in 35 minutes.
The entrance to the Kievsky station building, from where trains depart, is located opposite the Evropeisky shopping center. You can also purchase tickets there if you have not done so in advance online.
The cost of travel on the express train is 340 rubles one way, 680 rubles both ways. There are also a number of special rates for groups and beneficiaries. There are even passes for a whole month for those who very often use Aeroexpress services.
Trains arrive at an underground station near the airport, from where there is a passage to Terminal A. To get to Terminals B and D, you will need to go outside, following the signs on the signs, turn left and go under the overpass.
How to get to Vnukovo airport by bus
There are several regular buses running to the airport building from the Yugo-Zapadnaya metro station to the Airport stop:
- No. 611 goes with all stops, the travel time will take 35-40 minutes.
- No. 611с - express, travel time - 30 minutes.
- No. 611f - minibus, following the bus route in 20-25 minutes.
- No. 272 - stops everywhere, including at the “Hotel” stop, from where you need to walk about 200 meters to the airport.
Regular city fares apply on these flights: “Single pass”, “90 minutes”.
Finding a parking lot near the Yugo-Zapadnaya metro station is quite simple: at the exit from the station in the direction of the train, turn right, then, after exiting the passage, go left and look for a sign with the numbers of the required buses.
Often transport is already parked there, waiting for its passengers.
How to get to Vnukovo by minibus
In addition to buses, there are also minibuses to Vnukovo Airport. They depart both from the Yugo-Zapadnaya metro station and from the Oktyabrskaya ring station.
From the Yugo-Zapadnaya metro station there is minibus No. 45. Travel time on it takes only 20-25 minutes, but the fare is 100 rubles. These comfortable minibuses depart from the same stop as city ones, and payment is made from the driver.
Minibuses No. 705m run from Oktyabrskaya metro station. To find them, you need to turn right at the exit from the station lobby. The stop is located between the kiosks. The fare for this route is 130 rubles, and the journey to the airport will take about 45 minutes, depending on the traffic situation.
This is not the most convenient and cheapest form of transport, given that you will have to pay an additional 10 rubles for each piece of luggage.
How to get to Vnukovo Airport by car
You can get to the airport along three highways: Kievsky, Minsky and Borovsky. The shortest route runs along Kievsky, but it all depends on the congestion of the routes. Sometimes the longest path is the shortest.
For those who travel by their own transport, there are two covered paid parking lots for 700 cars in the airport area. They are located 30 meters from the entrance to Terminal A.
When entering the airport, the driver must receive a parking ticket. From the moment you receive this ticket, your parking time begins to count down. If the car stays in this zone for more than 15 minutes, after parking it is necessary to pay for the parking time at the rates indicated in the cash registers.
When leaving the territory, the parking ticket is inserted into a special machine counter, and if the car does not have unpaid parking time, the barrier will rise and you can continue driving.
These are the main options for getting to Vnukovo Airport. They all have some advantage over others, and each person can choose a method to their liking and wallet.
However, finally I would like to give some advice:
1. During rush hour on weekdays, you should refrain from traveling by public transport in Moscow. But even at other times, it’s worth checking traffic jams more often, otherwise there’s a chance you’ll be late for your plane.
2. If you leave Moscow by public transport or car, be sure to allow two to three extra hours for the road.
3. Aeroexpress does not operate at night, like public transport. Getting to the airport at night is only possible by car or taxi.
4. There is no direct route from Vnukovo to other Moscow airports. You can choose either a taxi, or the combined option of aeroexpress + metro or minibus + metro.
- identification document specified in the order,
- birth certificate when flying with children,
- printed itinerary receipt (optional).
What can you take on a plane?
Carry-on luggage is the items you will take with you into the cabin. The weight limit for hand luggage can vary from 5 to 10 kg, and its size most often should not exceed the sum of three dimensions (length, width and height) from 115 to 203 cm (depending on the airline). A handbag is not considered hand luggage and is carried freely.
The bag you take with you on the plane should not contain knives, scissors, medicines, aerosols, or cosmetics. Alcohol from duty free stores can only be transported in sealed bags.
How to pay for luggage at the airport
If the weight of luggage exceeds the standards established by the airline (most often 20-23 kg), you need to pay for each kilogram of excess. In addition, many Russian and foreign airlines, as well as low-cost airlines, have tariffs that do not include free baggage allowance and must be paid separately as an additional service.
In this case, luggage must be checked in at the airport at a separate Drop-off check-in counter. If you are unable to print your boarding pass, you can obtain one at the airline's regular check-in counter, and check-in and check-in your luggage there.
Where to find out the arrival time if you are a greeter
You can find out the plane's arrival time on the airport's online board. The Tutu.ru website has an online display of the main Russian and foreign airports.
You can find out the exit number (gate) on the arrivals board at the airport. This number is located next to the incoming flight information.
What to do if your flight is canceled
If a flight is canceled more than 24 hours before departure, passengers will be transferred to similar airline flights. The carrier bears the costs; the service is free for the passenger. If you are not satisfied with any of the options offered by the airline, most airlines can issue an “involuntary return.” Once confirmed by the airline, the money will be returned to your account. Sometimes this can take several weeks.
How to check in at the airport
Online check-in is available on most airline websites. Most often it opens 23 hours before the start of the flight. You can go through it no later than 1 hour before the plane departs.
To check in at the airport you will need:
