Moscow New T erminal

Hi Everyone,

I'm on my way back to Moscow soon and was wondering if anyone has been through the new SVO terminal. A heads up would be greatly appreciated. I'll be flying out of Atlanta.

Thanks in advance

If you dig through the RUB forum a little bit there is some feedback. I forget who posted it, but it's out there. If I remember correctly, all feedback was positive with the exception of "this could be bad in win.... Ah HAH! It was AKGuy. Or was it?

I don't remember. All I remember is there is a thread on it somewhere. Good luck with your search-fu, grasshopper. It will have to be strong.

What do you need to know? My step daughter came through there 2 weeks ago and flew Delta to Atlanta and then on to us. She is returning later this week.

Are you making a connection there?

I don't think my experience was the latest one. I flew through during New Years and it wasn't TOO bad, just busy and me being way out of my element.

Try not to take a taxi (they created the word "gouge") between terms, the busses work just fine.

Don't flash your passport around, especially around police unless they request you to. And in that instance have your papers handy. And a few bucks for the one thing you won't have on you.

I just flew through there in Sep and returned in October with Aeroflot. I had no problems. Aeroflot was awesome at getting everyone to the next terminal in their shuttle.

Going to Simferopol (a 4 hour stop) they herded everyone together and walked us downstairs to the waiting bus. On the way back to JFK (a 15 hour layover) they directed us to the transfer counter and issued a shuttle pass with instructions to be at the bus by 8 am the next morning. Kicked back at some Pub for the night and met the bus (marshutka) in the morning, no problems. Total exposure the the elements was under a minute. We were in terminals D & F IIRC, but I don't recall which one on which leg.

Been through there twice in the last year and once through DME and I'm going again in December. I've never had a problem there, but then again, my wife always meets me and takes care of getting us from the airport to where we want to go.

My husband and my son-in-law flew through in September and no issues.
