Getting Around SVO Airport
SVO Airport is divided into two main terminal complexes: the Northern Terminal Complex and the Southern Terminal Complex. The Northern Terminal Complex includes Terminals B and C, while the Southern Terminal Complex is home to Terminals D, E, and F. Here are some tips to help you navigate through these terminals efficiently:
- Interterminal Connectivity: An underground passage links the Northern and Southern complexes, which is essential for transferring between terminals. This passage also connects to the Aeroexpress railway station, facilitating access to external transport.
- Terminal Layouts: Terminal B serves domestic flights and is directly connected to Terminal C, which handles international flights. Meanwhile, Terminals D, E, and F in the Southern complex are interconnected by pedestrian walkways equipped with travelators. This setup is particularly helpful if you're transferring between international flights within these terminals.
- Navigation Aids: Keep an eye out for clear signage and digital information boards. These are regularly updated and provide directions along with flight status updates. If you're unsure, don't hesitate to ask airport staff for assistance.
While moving through SVO, consider the terminal from which your flight departs, as this will dictate where you should head upon arriving or when transferring. Each terminal is designed to handle specific types of flights (domestic or international), which streamlines the flow and minimizes confusion for travelers.
