Two-hour connection
 

Hi folks -

I just booked a September trip from MSP to LED, with stops at JFK and MOW. First leg is Delta, remainder are Aeroflot.

Our connection in Moscow is right at two hours. I'm assuming we'll have to do customs and immigration there. So, what are the odds we'll make it that flight to St. Petersburg? :)

Thanks...

I guess it might be helpful to mention that my connection airport in Moscow is SVO.

Thanks for any predictions you care to make.

You're fine with time to spare. If you are late on the inbound there are flights pretty close to hourly to LED from SVO and you'll be protected since you are on one itinerary.

Relax...you're good.

What he said :D

SVO-LED is like DFW-ORD. Nobody cares if you miss your flight, you catch the next one in an hour, two at worst.

Not sure I agree that you have plenty of time though. SVO immigration can take anywhere from 10 minutes to two hours. Before you is the Ulaan Baatar flight and if your flight is late, you will arrive after the Tehran and Seoul flights. That is a recipe for a 2hr immigration wait for sure. But don't worry. You'll make it to LED on the next flight anyway.

Thanks, folks. I had gathered that if we missed it there were going to be lots of other chances that day, but it's good to have the affirmation.

Much appreciated.
