Convenience
Travelling from one airport to another to catch a connecting flight can be stressful, especially when you don’t have much time in between flights. As a taxi is the quickest way to travel from Sheremetyevo to Domodedovo and vice versa, this would be the most convenient option. However, you will pay a premium for the comfort and the door-to-door service.
Editor’s Note
There are quite a few unofficial or ‘pirate’ taxis that operate between Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo. If anyone approaches you at the airport offering a taxi, avoid them, as unlicensed taxi drivers tend to overcharge tourists. Always book from one of the designated desks.
