Moscow to Yerevan is one of the highest-frequency routes out of the Russian capital — a short three-hour hop with dozens of non-stop departures every week from all three Moscow airports. Because so many airlines compete on it, fares stay reasonable year-round and there is almost always a flight within a few hours of when you want to go. This guide covers who flies it, fair prices in roubles, and how to book well.
Route: Moscow (SVO / DME / VKO) → Yerevan Zvartnots (EVN)
Distance: approximately 1,810 km (1,125 miles)
Non-stop flight time: about 3 hours (2h 55m – 3h 20m)
Direct flights: Yes — many per day. Aeroflot flies non-stop from Sheremetyevo (SVO), S7 Airlines and Ural Airlines from Domodedovo (DME), and Azimuth and UTair from Vnukovo (VKO). Armenia’s own FLYONE Armenia and Shirak Avia also operate the route.
Fares from Moscow to Yerevan (RUB)
This is a year-round route with strong demand, so prices rarely collapse the way they do on seasonal leisure routes — but there is still a clear rhythm. Summer and the New Year holidays are the busiest and dearest, while late autumn and the depths of winter (outside the holidays) are the cheapest windows. The figures below are typical economy return fares in roubles across the whole Moscow market.
| Month | Typical return (economy) | Demand |
|---|---|---|
| January | 16 000 – 30 000 ₽ | medium (post-holiday dip) |
| February | 15 000 – 28 000 ₽ | low |
| March | 18 000 – 32 000 ₽ | medium |
| April | 19 000 – 34 000 ₽ | medium-high (spring) |
| May | 20 000 – 36 000 ₽ | high (holidays) |
| June | 22 000 – 38 000 ₽ | high |
| July | 24 000 – 42 000 ₽ | peak (summer) |
| August | 24 000 – 42 000 ₽ | peak |
| September | 20 000 – 36 000 ₽ | high (autumn) |
| October | 18 000 – 32 000 ₽ | medium |
| November | 15 000 – 28 000 ₽ | low |
| December | 20 000 – 40 000 ₽ | high (New Year) |
As a rule of thumb on this route: a genuinely good non-stop return lands around 13 000–16 000 ₽ in the quiet months, a typical fair price sits near 22 000–26 000 ₽, and anything under about 18 000 ₽ in summer is worth booking on the spot. One-way tickets are widely sold and often close to half the return price, which suits open-ended trips.
Airlines on this route
Non-stop (about 3 hours, several times daily):
- Aeroflot — the most frequent operator, flying from Sheremetyevo (SVO, Terminal C) with the fullest schedule and a standard checked bag on most fares.
- S7 Airlines — non-stop from Domodedovo (DME); reliable timings and competitive Economy Basic fares if you travel with hand luggage only.
- Ural Airlines — also from Domodedovo (DME), often among the cheaper full-schedule options.
- Azimuth and UTair — non-stop from Vnukovo (VKO), useful if that airport is easier for you and frequently keenly priced.
- FLYONE Armenia and Shirak Avia — the Armenian carriers on the route, adding extra frequencies and fare choice.
With this many airlines flying non-stop, there is no reason to take a connecting itinerary — compare the direct fares across all three airports and pick on price and timing.
When to book & how to save
- Check all three airports. SVO, DME and VKO all serve Yerevan; the cheapest fare often sits at whichever airport is least convenient, so weigh the ticket price against your transfer across Moscow.
- Book summer and New Year early. July, August and the December–January holidays are the peaks — lock these in 1–2 months ahead before the low fares disappear.
- Travel in November or February for the lowest prices, when demand eases and returns dip toward the bottom of the range.
- Travel light on the low-cost fares. S7, Ural and Azimuth sell cheap hand-luggage-only tickets — add a checked bag online in advance rather than at the airport, where it costs more.
- Consider one-way pricing. With so many carriers competing, two separate one-way tickets can beat a round trip — always price both.
Arriving in Yerevan
All flights land at Zvartnots International Airport (EVN), about 12 km west of central Yerevan. There is no train, but the airport is close and getting into town is cheap: bus route 201 runs to the centre for well under 100 ₽ equivalent, while a taxi or a ride-hail app costs roughly 500–900 ₽ and takes around 20 minutes outside rush hour. Use an app or agree the fare before setting off to avoid the arrivals-hall touts. Armenia is visa-free for Russian citizens, and travel is possible on an internal Russian passport.
