As an international route, travellers need a valid passport and appropriate visa for the destination country. It's recommended to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights.

Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Leh and Moscow. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Many Indians travel from Leh to Moscow for business, education, and tourism. Moscow offers a rich cultural experience with its historical architecture, world-class museums, and vibrant arts scene.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Moscow is during late spring (May-June) or early autumn (September-October). The weather is mild, and you'll avoid the peak tourist crowds of summer and the harsh cold of winter.

Getting from the airport to Moscow

From Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO), you can take the Aeroexpress train to Belorussky Railway Station for about 500 rubles. A taxi to the city center will cost approximately 1500-2000 rubles, depending on traffic. Public buses and marshrutkas (minibuses) are also available for a cheaper, though slower, option.

Things to do in Moscow

Take a stroll through Gorky Park, a large green space offering recreational activities. Experience the Moscow Metro, known for its ornate stations with mosaics and sculptures.

Food to try

Local tips

Learn a few basic Russian phrases, as English is not widely spoken. Always carry your passport and visa, as you may be asked to show them. Be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded areas.
