The last time I was there I missed my connecting flight in New York and a bunch of us who also missed the connection had dinner together, etc. One young lady was doing just what you are doing - she landed at SVO2 and was flying out of SVO1. As we were all waiting for our bags at SVO2 we were chatting each other up (we'd all become pals by then...) and I saw this gal with her bag just sitting there. As we all started to walk off, I asked if she was waiting for another bag? She told me she was waiting for "express service" (which, I guess, was this fast track thing) and the guy was nowhere to be seen. So... your mileage may vary. The fast track thing is designed to get you through customs and is marketed to people that either don't like lines or don't speak Russian. You don't need to speak Russian to get through customs - just be pleasant. Search here for "fast track" and you'll see mixed results on whether the service is worthwhile or a timesaver. You can easily get to SVO1 on your own: Quote: Located 5 kilometers from Sheremtyevo 2, this airport serves domestic Aeroflot flights and some charter flights. It’s not comfortable at all, so if you have some time before your flight, it’s better to spend it in Sheremetyevo 2. There is a shuttle service connecting both Sheremetyevo airports, departing every hour from Arrivals exit of Sheremetyevo 2 airport (ground floor, left wing facing the airport). Also, some minibuses stopping at the bus stop outside of the airport also go to Sheremetyevo 1, but be careful and ask the driver before boarding. You can also take a taxi, but usually it’s quite expensive ($10-$30), even though the way takes not more than 15 minutes. Above from http://www.waytorussia.net/Moscow/ArrivalDeparture.html. Good luck! danbrew
