As of February 2026, you cannot fly directly from New York to Moscow due to ongoing airspace restrictions and sanctions. There are no direct flights operated by either U.S. or Russian carriers between these cities. However, travel is still possible via indirect routes through "neutral" hubs. The most common connection points in 2026 include Istanbul (via Turkish Airlines), Belgrade (via Air Serbia), Dubai (via Emirates), and Cairo (via EgyptAir). These connecting flights typically take anywhere from 13 to 20 hours total travel time. Travelers should be aware that international credit and debit cards issued outside Russia may not work within the country, and travel advisories from the U.S. State Department remain at Level 4 (Do Not Travel), so it is essential to check current diplomatic and entry requirements before planning a trip.
