There are five main airports in Moscow: Sheremetievo I, Sheremetievo II, Domodedovo, Bykovo, Vnukovo.
Sheremetievo I and II located in 28 km to the northwest of Moscow and in 11 km from Moscow encircling highway.
Sheremetievo-I handles domestic and international flights, Sheremetievo II handles only international flights.
The distance between Sheremetievo I and II is about 5 minutes by car, so it`s better to take minibus #48 or #200M (marshrootka in Russian) if you need to get from one airport to another, because the taxi drivers will try to charge you $50-$100 for that ride, the cost of minibus is around $2. Usually minibuses and buses stop near the exit from the airport, you will need to look for the name in Russian Sheremetievo 1 ("Odeen" in Russian). If you have connected flight it is necessary to go to the Transit kiosk, it is located on the ground level of the airport (you will arrive to the same level). The shuttle bus runs every hour which is not very convenient if you have tight connection.
If you arrive in the day time, most likely you will experience the traffic jam on the way to Moscow. There`s express train between Sheremetievo 2 and metro station "Saviolovskaya". The bus # 851c runs between Sheremetievo 1, 2 and metro station Rechnoy vokzal. The passengers buy the ticket from the driver. When you get in the bus or minibus ask the driver if it goes in the necessary direction.
