It's quite the experience nonetheless, particularly for Russians who are usually accustomed to the open plan sleepers etc.

For that I was thinking to grab a taxi from the train station directly to SVO. My company will be paying for that so I guess that's OK-ish ....
Taxis aren't usually that expensive. I live south of the centre of Moscow (not too far from the centre) and the most I've ever paid from SVO, DME or VKO is just under 1300rub. Uusually it's around 900-1000rub so pricing isn't the issue but traffic can be. Aeroexpress is extremely reliable and half the price of a taxi.
