Moscow Domodedovo International Airport

Domodedovo Airport Moscow,Moscow Airport

Domodedovo Airport in Moscow.

Our flight will be arriving at Domodedovo Airport  in Moscow. This airport is totally new to me and I wanted to familiarize myself with some of the logistics before we depart. I am specifically interested in the Aeroexpress train that runs from the airport to Paveletsky Station  in the city.

At this stage I am not sure at which terminal we will be landing but from the map it is easy to see that both terminals have a central meeting point. The train terminal is located on the far side of the airport. It looks fairly easy.

Trains depart every 30 minutes. Service runs from 6 am until midnight.

We are currently at the Domodedovo Airport waiting for a flight. The airport is fairly easy to navigate with signs and announcements in English. Not all signs are in English but you will be able to get by. The 1st floor have departures and arrivals and the 2nd floor have a food court with Free Wi-Fi. There are no electricity points (not that I have seen anyway).

There are banks,security lockers and many restaurants where you can grab a bite to eat including an Italian restaurant.

I like the airport – it is visitor friendly with a lot of space and sunlight.

I have been fortunate to have done quite a bit of travelling. By heart I am an adventurer and I love exploring new places, cultures and food. Travelling can become stressful and expensive. Over the years I have learnt to travel as cost effective as possible, simply by travelling more clever. Nelmitravel.com is a Adventure and Budget Travel site where I review Airlines, Accommodation, Transport, Restaurants and give helpful travel information.

Thank you for visiting. Have a fabulous day!
