Vnukovo, Ostafyevo, Sheremetyevo, or Domodedovo?

In terms of fees, which is the better airport to use? Location not being an issue. We had a nice $11K in fees for two nights stay at UUWW. Fuel was cheap though.

We use UUMO- nothing like that in fees.

As a percentage, what would be your best guess for how much cheaper UUMO is?

Here's a crazy idea...

why don't you email the handler directly and ask them what parking/handling costs are at all locations?

Don't get me wrong, expect a little screw job in Russia (like a $500 bus ride 300ft to your airplane)...but you can get an idea of costs and offer alternatives prior to going.

I have used Streamline in the past at both UUEE and UUWW. Never any major surprises.

Don't leave these tasks in the wonderful caring hands of a Universal Aviation, etc...there is no single more expensive way to travel the world than leaving everything to them....or do so (thats fine) but don't be surprised that a decent size trip can cost an extra 25-50K.

Good Luck.

Don't remember much about the fees, but Ostafyevo has basically NO other traffic, easy in/out, used it several times in the past year....

Beats the hell out of Vnukovo or Domo in my book!

Because the quote I had for UUWW was a wee bit different than reality so I was looking for real world info for the other airports. Definitely looking into Streamline. Thanks for the heads up.

100% agree. We also use Streamline, no real worries with them. UUWW and UUEE are (Gov't) owned as opposed to UUDD. Vnukovo is notorious for delays, both coming and going.
Ostafyevo is in between a major railroad crossing (which is a deal in Moscow).
No worries, come to Silver's for a pint!

Edit: Sorry, you were asking for #'s. I'd say Ostafyfyeva may be have the best numbers. Not sure if Stream is there? The train is a big deal. It's why we don't go there, (pax choice).

UUMO, if you haven't used it is a GA/ Corporate only, close to the city and as good as many 'European' airports. We negotiate our fees in advance and have a 'corporate package' but I have met many crews there and no one has complained of charges (they may all be lying in the back)........

I would have to agree with Gulfstream and 2000, Streamline is by far one of the best handling agents at all the 3 airports in Moscow (UUWW, UUDD, UUEE). There are HUGE delays at UUWW due to the fact that they have the main runway ripped up, and only one taxiway. There are "fees" at UUWW, but it's the closest to downtown (when there is no traffic). hope this helps.
PARAMOUNT.

I've checked into Streamline for the Russian stuff, but how about Flightworx for EU flying? Anyone use them?
