I really cannot understand why Aeroflot does not improve this transfer procedure after years of such madness. My experience yesterday morning was the worst I've seen. Basically the whole area was clogged up with people and there was no clarity on where lines started. As usual the ground staff was rather useless - I saw a few passengers trying to get help from them, but basically they just help you to bring you to front of the document check and the rest, you have to fend for yourself. It took me close to 1.5 hours to clear everything.
