Moscow airport train

This item appears on page 55 of the August 2008 issue.

Shortening the trip from Moscow’s city center to Sheremetyevo International Airport, new Aeroexpress trains began service June 11. What was at least a 2-hour bus trip now takes 35 minutes.

The trains depart from Savolovsky station downtown and debark at the airport’s Terminal 2; shuttle service is available to Terminals 1 and the new Terminal C.

A train ticket costs RU250 (about $11) or, for first class, RU350 ($15). (Cab fare could cost $35 to $100, depending on the driver.) For the schedule, visit www.sheremetyevo-airport.ru.
