What sort of time line am I to anticipate?
Do I go through passport/immigration at both airports or what?
I understand SVO1 is not very friendly. What transport do you advise to SVO2?
Have you used vip/fast track service at these airports? Do you recommend it or not?
Help. I leave in a month. Spasibo
Short answer: if your flights are with Aeroflot, you should be offered a free transit between SVO1 and SVO2 -
details here
Long answer: if you are not flying LED-SVO-JFK on the same booking, but with two different airlines on seperate tickets, the chances are you will have to make your own way between terminals. There are paid mini-buses/marshrutkas between SVO1 and 2, but have not used them for years as I always opt for DME when I can. In the worst case scenario you will probably have to check in for domestic flight in LED, then collect your luggage and check in for int'l flight in SVO. You should have time to do that in three hours though I reckon.
It all depends on what tickets you have booked!
