Airlines and the non-stop
Aeroflot is the only carrier operating the non-stop Delhi–Moscow flight, using wide-body aircraft (Boeing 777 / Airbus A330) roughly daily. Note that Aeroflot serves Sheremetyevo (SVO), Moscow's largest airport, arriving at Terminal C — not Domodedovo (DME) or Vnukovo (VKO). When the non-stop doesn't suit, one-stop connections are available via Gulf and Central Asian hubs, though sanctions and shifting schedules make the Aeroflot non-stop the simplest single option for most travellers.

Flight time, distance and routing
The Delhi–Moscow great-circle distance is about 4,350 km, and the non-stop takes roughly 7h of flying. Aeroflot typically departs Delhi in the early morning and lands in Moscow mid-morning local time, routing broadly over Central Asia. One-stop itineraries add a transfer and several hours depending on the hub.
Best time to book and seasonal fares
Summer (June–August) is Moscow's most pleasant and busiest season, while the December–January holidays draw winter-wonderland visitors — both push fares up, so book early. The shoulder months of May and September offer mild weather and easier pricing. Deep winter outside the holidays is usually cheapest but very cold. Check the live fare calendar in the FlightGPT search and stay flexible with dates.
Getting your fare cheaper (honest tips)
With one dominant non-stop carrier, flexibility on dates is your main saving. Compare the Aeroflot non-stop against one-stop connections, which can occasionally undercut it. Travelling mid-week, booking several weeks ahead and avoiding the summer and New-Year peaks all help. Use the FlightGPT search to line up the non-stop and connecting fares together rather than checking carriers one by one.
Airports and terminals
Departures use Delhi Indira Gandhi International (DEL) Terminal 3. In Moscow, Aeroflot arrives at Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO), Terminal C — the airport is well connected to the city by the Aeroexpress train to Belorussky station (about 35 minutes) and by metro links. Sheremetyevo, not Domodedovo, is the relevant airport for this Aeroflot service.
Baggage allowances
Aeroflot's checked and cabin allowances vary by fare class and cabin, with wide-body economy fares generally including a checked bag. Confirm the exact weight and piece limits for your specific fare before booking, and if you choose a one-stop itinerary on another airline, check that carrier's separate rules, since the cheapest fares can restrict checked baggage.
Visa for Indians (Russia)
Indian passport holders need a visa for Russia. The simplest option is the unified e-visa, applied for fully online with a passport, digital photo and travel medical insurance — no invitation letter or hotel booking needed. It is a single-entry visa valid 120 days from issue, permitting a stay of up to 30 days, and is usually processed within about four days. Carry a passport valid 6+ months. (A proposed visa-free arrangement was not yet in force as of 2026.)
Travel tips for Moscow
Russia uses the ruble; carry some cash, as international card acceptance can be limited under current conditions. The Moscow Metro is fast, cheap and an attraction in itself — many stations are ornate works of art. The Cyrillic alphabet can be a hurdle, so a translation app helps. Winters are very cold (pack serious warm layers); summers are mild and long-lit. The historic core around Red Square is compact and walkable.
Why visit Moscow
Moscow is one of the world's great capitals — Red Square, the Kremlin and St Basil's Cathedral form an unforgettable skyline, while the Tretyakov Gallery, Bolshoi Theatre and Gorky Park add art, ballet and leisure. The dazzling metro, grand boulevards and riverside views reward wandering. With Aeroflot's quick non-stop and Russia's easy e-visa for Indians, it's a surprisingly accessible long-weekend or holiday destination.
