She is flying from Vladivostok to Moscow. Her flight gets to the airport around 3:00 pm. What is the safest and most convenient way to get to Hotel Budapest from Moscow International Airport(SVO). Thanks

Taxi is faster (will take 1 hour) and more convenient and costs $25-$30 US. Public transport is longer (at least 1.5 hours), costs about $1.[/url]

SVO-2 is the terminal for international flights, SVO-1 is the terminal on the other side of the airport for domestic flights. A flight from VVO would normally operate in/out of SVO-1. This doesn't really affect the answer to your question, which stated most succintly is that the easiest thing is for your friend to simply do a deal with the taxi drivers hanging around the arrivals area in the termain when she arrives. Safety is a non-issue - all options are equally (and acceptably) safe. Russia is as safe a country as the US - actually, if crime stats are to be believed (and that is a substantial caveat, mind you) it is probably even considerably safer.
