"had to walk for 30 minutes"

(Italy)

Trip Verified | The plane was parked very far from the terminal and we had to wait a long time for the bus. We had a connection and we had to walk through 3 terminals for 30 minutes. It’s not clear the procedure to connect to the wifi. At the info point there is a queue 20 meters long.

"they lost our luggage"

(Denmark)

Trip Verified | After the flight we were in a filthy corridor for nearly 2 hours waiting to have our passports checked. The staff in the stores would rather gossip with each other than let you buy stuff. To top it off they lost our luggage.

"I am not impressed"

(Denmark)

Not Verified | That anybody gets to anywhere on time via this airport is beyond me. Here you have to go through several passport controls as well as security fo no reason at all, as you are in transit! If you want to buy something in one of the many shops, restaurants or small bars, be prepared that this will happen in Russian! Surprisingly only very few speak English, but then you get really bad service instead. I am not impressed!

"Far from perfect"

(Russian Federation)

Not Verified | Have SVO as departing and arriving for multiple flights inbetween ARN/AGP. Disadvantages - Small, lack of space, obvious that airport management has premiered commercial space over passenger comfort. Limited seating, especially close to or at the gates (that are not part of a restaurant or cafe). Restaurants are at ripoff prices. - Toilets are dirty. Various flights require bus transport from the gate to/from the aircraft. Final call often called out way ahead of the 20-minute at gate deadline, just to have passangers wait standing in a bus. Busses left with open doors despite extremely cold weather with passengers dressed in shorts and t-shirts going to e.g. Thailand with a flight change at Sheremyetevo (SVO). Going from the train into the airport a multitude of security checks are in place, sometimes poorly manned causing unnecessary delays with long lines of people waiting going from the trains to the airport terminal. Staff at lounges question your right to the lounges despite that you have absolute right to access and enter them. Advantages - Train from Moscow center. Closer to Moscow center compared to the other 2 large airports serving Moscow. Good entry space and check-in hall. Tax-free, not perfect but good with a decent assortment and Ok prices. Despite my complaints, probably the better choice if your are flying into Moscow compared to the other airports. Far from perfect. Immediate and obvious management and airport design fails. In short, there are huge improvement opportunities. Consider the airport and its service level as works in progress.

"another security check"

(Netherlands)

Trip Verified | Connected at Moscow, en route from Amsterdam to Thailand. This airport is a joke! We were corralled through a tiny door, for no reason. Wheel chairs could not get through. The staff was telling all the Bangkok-bound passengers to push to the front, but they could not because there were passengers who were very late at the front so they would not let them push through! One passport control person for several hundred people. Another staff member stood behind and watched, often looking at her phone. And then there was another security check for a transfer flight. Zero thought for passenger experience.

"stunning architecture"

(Russian Federation)

Trip Verified | When flying from Moscow, i'm trying to fly from Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport, because I love it! I've flew to Ekaterinburg Koltsovo Airport with Aerofot, it's domestic flight, thats why I've flew from Sheremetyevo Terminal B-the newest one and my favorite, it's brand-new, so it's very comfortable and futuristic, many many different restaurants (cheap and expensive), best Sheremetyevo Lounges, and stunning architecture!

"Horrible conditions"

(Japan)

Not Verified | Madness to go through security for transfer. Huge crowd with no sign of moving except if you push your way in when the time gets dangerous for the connection flight. Horrible conditions. Also Wi-Fi connection requires phone use which means very high international roaming fees.

"ridiculous for an international airport"

(Portugal)

Not Verified | This is just unreal. First the only way to have free Wi-Fi is by your phone number that if for some reason is not working then you can't contact your family. Most of the staff are rude - despite Russian culture - and they could make a bigger effort working at an airport. Respect and be polite. No smoking area - this is of course the least problem but I see it as being unreasonable. Why not respecting who wants to smoke? They have almost no places to charge phones/laptops. This is ridiculous for an international airport. I'm being honest by saying that next time I'm gonna prefer to pay 200$ more and take a different route instead of facing all of this.

"staff is not welcoming"

(Israel)

Trip Verified | Passport control employee was rude to me, yelling at me where is my 2nd boarding pass. Airport staff doesn't know much English and is not welcoming. Staff counters mostly empty. Food options are limited to coffee shops and bars. Not many seats. Free WIFI (speed is OK but sometimes disconnects).
