| Facilities |
: |
Moscow Airport is a soulless, dimly
lit, grey building and long stopovers here should be avoided if possible.
The staff are slow and inefficient and the queues for passport control
and check-in are long. Once through check-in, however, the facilities
are fine, including bureaux de change, restaurants, bars, duty-free
shopping and a post office. Disabled facilities are limited but wheelchair
transfer from the aircraft to the terminal building can be arranged
in advance. Left luggage counters, a business conference centre and
ATMs are available in Terminal 2. |
