It often happens that non-capital residents purchase combined tickets during their travels, for example, “airplane + train”. And when the railway or air transport is delayed along the way, hassle begins. After all, it is very important to be in time from the station before the end of the flight registration to the airport. It seems to many that a taxi is even the most expensive, but the most reliable way to quickly get to your chosen destination. But do not forget that you are in Moscow! Sometimes the movement along the tracks is such that it seems that walking will be faster. In this short essay we will tell you how to get from the Kursk station to Sheremetyevo. Let's consider all the options in order.
Where are Sheremetyevo Airport and Kursky Station
There are three main air harbors in Moscow. Sheremetyevo Airport is located quite far, thirty kilometers northwest of the center of the capital. A Kursky station is located in the city. If you look at the map of Moscow, this railway junction is located within the MKAD, closer to the eastern outskirts. Now we will consider how to get from the Kursk station to Sheremetyevo in our own car. Like it or not, the road will add five or even thirteen kilometers to the route in a straight line, which you calculated on the map. Public transport goes to Sheremetyevo Airport, and not even one view. But alas, not directly from the Kursk station. And deep in the night, getting to the Sheremetyevo air harbor will be completely problematic. Well, let's figure out how to make our path more comfortable and as less expensive as possible.
By car
Suppose you live in the Kursk station area and want to get to Sheremetyevo exclusively behind the "steering wheel" of your own car. Then you should consider that during the day you can be very delayed by traffic jams. How to get from Kursky station to Sheremetyevo at night? There are two ways. The first is along the M11 road. Drive it thirty-five kilometers. At night it will take (if without unnecessary rush) about half an hour. There is a second option - with a race on the Moscow Ring Road. Kilometer increases to 43 km, but in the afternoon (traffic jams in Moscow begin at six in the morning) it will come out faster. You can reach the airport in forty-five minutes. The only difficulty on this way is to get off the ring road near Khimki. The motorist should be aware of another problem awaiting him already at the airport. If you are traveling with a person who can deliver your car back to the garage, there are no difficulties. But if you want to leave the "iron horse" in the parking lot during your trip, you should know the following.
Parking
We have already figured out how to get from Kursky Station to Sheremetyevo by car. Now it remains to figure out how to come with luggage from the car park to the desired terminal. The cost of a parking space in Sheremetyevo starts from one hundred and twenty rubles per day. And some parking lots are far from the terminals. But there is a parking lot called Park & Fly. The cost of services starts at two hundred twenty-five rubles per day. But the cost of such parking includes a free shuttle to your chosen terminal, as well as money-free baggage packing and the use of a client room with Wi-Fi, a toilet and a shower. For an extra amount, in your absence, the car will be pumped up and the battery charged. For regular customers discounts are made.
Kursky Station - Sheremetyevo Airport: how to get by taxi
This type of transport is most convenient for those who have large luggage, children, or they are forced to get to the place of boarding the plane late at night. In the latter case, this is also the only option, since the metro, train and minibuses with buses do not run at this time. Taxis are best booked in advance, ignoring private traders. Plus this option - a fixed price. In Moscow, the cost of a taxi depends on the class of car. The economist will cost you one and a half thousand rubles. Comfort will cost from 1700 to 1900 p. If you are traveling in a large company, it is better to order a minibus for ten people for two and a half thousand rubles. And how to get from Sheremetyevo to the Kursk station? You can order an individual transfer. The driver will meet you with a sign where your last name will be written, at the very exit of the arrivals area, will help to carry luggage to the car.
Night express
Recently, bus No. H1 was introduced. It runs from one in the morning until half past five in the morning and is an acceptable alternative to a taxi. Is it possible to overcome the route Kursky Station - Sheremetyevo on it? Getting on the metro to the Leninsky Prospekt station, from where the N1 bus leaves, is not possible at night. But you can take a taxi! So you will not pay one and a half thousand rubles. Travel time by night bus is about forty-five minutes. It is also noteworthy that this express train makes stops at all terminals of Sheremetyevo Airport. And the fare in it is only fifty-five rubles. This is the best and most budgetary way to get at night on the Sheremetyevo - Kursky Station route.
Aeroexpress
Well, in the afternoon, in order to protect yourself from standing in traffic jams, it is better to choose the “metro + train” option. So, we leave the train to the platform of the Kursk station. We are not interested in the sights of Moscow, because we are in a hurry on a plane. How to get from Kursky station to Sheremetyevo? We go along the platform to the main hall. There we go down to the lower floor of the station. Follow the signs to the Kurskaya metro station. Having passed the turnstile, turn right. The escalator will take us to the Kurskaya Koltsevaya station. We go along this branch to the Belorusskaya stop. We leave the metro and go to the building of the same station. We go into it through the entrance number 3 or number 4. We buy a ticket for the aeroexpress machine. They accept bank cards and issue change from large bills. Trains depart at scheduled times every half hour. In thirty-five minutes, the Aeroexpress will take us to the first terminal of Sheremetyev. Pedestrian galleries lead from the train platform to F, D and E. Free shuttles travel to remote terminals C and B. But you need to consider that it will take twenty minutes to wait for the bus and travel in it.
Buses
Unfortunately, there is no direct route in a city such as Moscow, Kursky Station - Sheremetyevo. How to get from this railway junction to the airport by bus? We will use the metro. From Kurskaya we get to the Planernaya station. From there runs bus number 817 (ticket - fifty rubles) and a minibus number 948 (75 rubles). Both modes of transport cover the distance to the airport in fifty-five minutes. There is one more option. You can take the metro to Rechnoy Vokzal station. A minibus No. 949 goes from it to Sheremetyevo Airport. It also costs seventy-five rubles. Travel time is fifty minutes.
