Terminals and orientation
SVO has two passenger complexes: the North (typically terminals B and C) and the South (D, E and F). They’re connected via an underground inter‑terminal link with a train — a key detail for transfers and “wrong terminal” fixes.
Before you go, confirm your terminal via your booking/airline. For connections, check whether arrival and departure are in the same complex — it directly affects your buffer.
- Confirm terminal in advance, not at the check-in area.
- Complex change = extra time for transfers.
- Keep your route/terminal info offline (screenshot).
Getting there (without losing time)
For Moscow, Aeroexpress is the most predictable option. Taxi/car is convenient, but traffic can turn a tight plan into stress — a buffer matters.
If you end up at B/C but fly from D/E/F (or the other way around), use the inter‑terminal link and follow the signs — it’s usually faster than improvising outside.
- Aeroexpress = predictable timing.
- Taxi/car = comfort, but add a traffic buffer.
- Specify the terminal as a drop-off point, not just “SVO”.
Useful official links
The goal is to make everything linear: arrive with a buffer, do the essentials, and keep a calm pace.
Save your booking offline, check baggage rules, and confirm the airport code in the ticket.
Add a time buffer: queues vary by season and time. If you have checked baggage, plan extra minutes.
Check whether you need to change terminals and how much walking/transit time it takes — that’s the most common source of missed connections.

FAQ
Because terminals are split into two complexes. Arriving at the wrong one can cost you a cross‑airport move and extra control time.
Identify the correct complex first, then use the inter‑terminal connection (train/walkways). Avoid random outside routes — they usually waste time.
Terminal → how you get there → buffer for security/boarding → booking saved offline. That prevents most mistakes.
