The fastest and safest to date is the air mode of transport. And one of the largest airports in Europe is Domodedovo, second only to Sheremetyevo in Russia.
Located at a distance of 45 km from the center of the capital and 22 km from the Moscow Ring Road, it annually carries more than 28 million passengers. What is the most convenient way to get to Domodedovo? Express from Paveletsky station is considered one of the best options in this case. Consider this route in the proposed article.
Aeroexpress benefits, schedule
There are 9 railway stations in Moscow, and seven of them are located near the Koltsevaya Line metro stations. The exception is Savelovsky and Riga. There is also a Paveletskaya station on Koltsevaya, which is very convenient for nonresident residents traveling by air from Domodedovo Airport. After all, it is from the Paveletsky railway station that the Domodedovo - Moscow express runs.
The train moves without intermediate stops, and the travel time, according to the schedule, is 43-46 minutes. It is strictly enforced, as there are no traffic jams. And for travelers, thanks to this, it’s convenient to plan your time, and they clearly know what time they will get to the airport.
For departure by local airlines it is advisable to arrive at check-in in two hours, international - in three.
For those who wish to travel in comfort, there are business class cars with fewer conveniently located seats, a minibar and free WI-FI. As a rule, these are the first and last wagons. But the whole structure is quite comfortable and beautifully decorated. It is distinguished by perfect cleanliness and availability.
Aeroexpress trains start operating at 6:00, and the last departure from Moscow at 00:30. The intervals between flights are half an hour, so do not be upset if you are late for the previous one. The exception is a one-hour break from 12:00 to 13:00, and this should be noted.
