Urgent advice needed - please help!
 
I am planning to travel from Amsterdam to Shanghai via Moscow on May 16. Unfortunately I need to do an electronic bonus test for university (via the internet) on that day between 18:30 and 20:30 (Central European Time).

After looking for all flights between Europe and Shanghai I have found the following flights:
Amsterdam-Moscow 11:45-17:00 operated by KLM
Moscow-Shanghai 21:30-10:10 operated by Aeroflot

I will fly both legs in business class, so I will have access to the lounge.

Here come my questions:
1. Are the terminals I will arrive/depart from connected or is a train/... required?

2. How long before boarding do I have to come to the gate?

3. How long does it take to get from the Aeroflot business class lounge to the gate of the Shanghai flight?

4. Does the Aeroflot business class lounge have a reliable Wifi connection?

Please help me!:confused:

1. No. E and F connected airside
2. Usually boarding starts 30 mins before the departure time
3. See 4
4. Free WiFi is available throughout all terminals, but reports are it is not so relaible in F. You better conduct in your test in E and then go to F, you should have enough time

I didn't manage to get it to work on my last two visits (in the lounge in E, and the lounge in F...) Not sure where the problem was, or if I was just unlucky...

Many thanks for both of your fast replies. It seems that I should depart one day later to be on the safe side :)

If I get the bonus point I will also have a better feeling the next day and can enjoy the flights even more ;)

If you are deferring the trip, might as well book yourself on SU metal for a more pleasant cross-Europe experience... Large seats, friendly service, etc
