I would be glad to answer any questions you might have. I had very little problems but I was prepared ahead of time. It helps to speak some Russian but not totaly necessary!! Yes I was a little nervous because of my first visit to Russia and some of the horror stories on line about these airports, but really it is not that bad. I will certainly tell you on your departure security is very strict and tight which I think is good; but allow yourself plenty of time. I almost missed my flight from Moscow to New York. This would have been a nightmare for me. But it worked out... If you have any specific questions I will be glad to help you anyway I can. You may e-mail me at itsalrightnow@juno.com Anyway best of Luck!!!!!!!!

From Moscow I flew Aeroflot to Volgograd. The flights were fine. I was very impressed with Aeroflot and felt it was as good as any American carrier.

In the meantime i have been able to find a better solution: flying from Dusseldorf (Germany) to the airport Domodedovo and Domodedovo to Vladivostok, so no difficult transfers. Besides that i'm reading a lot of possitive things about the Domodedovo airport. Thanks again, Robert

It costs less than a dollar for bus fare and takes 15 minutes to get to the other terminal.

The bus to I leaves every hour on the hour. Stay right there at the window and they will take everyone out to the bus when it arrives. Also on the way back home at I once you pick up your luggage there is a sign for the bus and there is usually a guy right there at the sign and you tell him you need to get to II and he will take you outside and wait for the bus with you. This takes a little time if you have a tight connection you might want to take a taxi. That could cost you from 25 - 40 dollars. Much cheaper to take the bus. Dave
