Moscow Air Corridor is the largest transport and interchange hub for air passengers. It is formed by the joint work of three capital airports - Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Vnukovo. Each of them receives and sends hundreds of international and regional flights every day, passing through itself tens of thousands of people. For some of them, Moscow is the end point of the route, but for most, it’s just a transfer to another flight in the direction of their movement. Sometimes it happens that a connecting flight departs from a nearby airport and it is sometimes difficult to get to its terminals, especially for tourists visiting the capital for the first time.
Me at Sheremetyevo
And as fast as possible! Indeed, between flights only a couple of hours! In this case, you have a direct road to the front desk of the official airport taxi. Capital taxi will take you from one air harbor to another in an hour and a half, but this is provided that there are no traffic jams on the roads. The distance from Domodedovo to Sheremetev is small, especially if you go directly through the city. Otherwise, the trip may stretch for 3-4 hours, sometimes more. Therefore, before rushing headlong into the tenacious clutches of taxi drivers, check the traffic situation in the city on the Yandex.Tracks portal. With a total score of 7 or higher from Domodedovo to Sheremetyevo, the fastest way is to get by public transport.
Aeroexpress
Seeing on the map the arteries of the city highlighted in red, a magic figure of 10 points and the inscription “The city is standing”, when leaving the baggage claim conveyors we immediately turn left and go to the end of the terminal. You can also focus on the thick arrows of pointers and inscriptions of the direction “To board the Aeroexpress”.
Unfortunately, there is no direct public transport connection on the Domodedovo - Sheremetyevo route. How to get from one airport to another, everyone decides for himself. However, a real and well-developed railway connection successfully creates real competition for motor vehicles in Moscow today. For 400 rubles, a comfortable electric train will take you to the Paveletsky railway station in 45 minutes. Another 20 minutes and 50 rubles will have to be spent on travel along the Koltsevaya metro line from Paveletskaya station to Belorusskaya station. We give the other 400 rubles at the box office for a half-hour trip by express train to the end point of our voyage.
And here you are! For 850 rubles and nearly 2 hours, we got from Domodedovo to Sheremetyevo.
My finances sing romances
It also happens: they spent the last penny on the cherished ticket to the gentle sea. In this case, do not despair. Budget transfer options are also provided. We are going in the same direction, towards the railway station, but instead of the aeroexpress train, we take the usual suburban electric train and for 57 rubles we get to the Kolomenskoye platform, where we transfer to the metro and go with a transfer to Savelovskaya station. We leave to the railway station. We take a ticket at the ticket office for 76 rubles, we get to the Lobnya station and for 15 rubles we catch a minibus to the airport.
A total of 198 rubles and four to eight hours of lost time traveling from Domodedovo to Sheremetyevo. Cheap and cheerful.
Is it even cheaper?
Well, you give? Where is it even cheaper? Remember the Soviet cartoon: “You won’t make any big seven hats from a sheep”? Although, if you think about it. There is an option with buses. Let's try.
At the exit from the terminal, we go to the station stop for suburban buses and choose route number 308. For 80 rubles from the nose, he will take us to the Domodedovskaya metro station. We go down the subway again. Alas, there is no way in the big city without this, and we reach either the Planernaya station or the River Station station. And in the first, and in the second case, you will have to make a transfer between the lines, but there is nothing complicated about it. Next, take the city bus number 851 (from the Rechnoy Vokzal metro station) or take the bus following route 817 (from the Planernaya metro station). Attention: the fare is only 30 rubles!
And this way of traveling from Domodedovo to Sheremetyevo took 160 rubles. Instead of the 308th bus, you can use the electric train for 57 rubles, then it will turn out even cheaper, or take a minibus. In the latter case, the money will be a little more expensive, but you will win in time.
Ghost bus
Rumors of land filled up. Some time ago, there was information on the Web that the East Line group had launched a direct bus service on the route Domodedovo - Sheremetyevo. "How? Can you still get from one airport to another non-stop?" - you ask. On the Internet you can find the schedule of this flying Dutchman, but no one has ever seen the bus itself. On the official websites of each of the airdromes, information about the mysterious flight is also missing.
