Domestic to international transfer at SVO and 6.5 hour layover
I'm visiting Murmansk and will be flying from Murmansk to Bangkok next week, single ticket, on Aeroflot, with a 6.5 hour stop in SVO.
Will my luggage be checked through or will I have to collect it at SVO and are there any special procedures or formalities I should be aware of when transferring from domestic to international there?
Any recommendations for how I should spend the 6.5 hours? . I'm flying economy but have priority pass. Not sure I'll bother taking the train into the city, I've been to Moscow before and will have my carry on bag and may just stay at the airport.

Your luggage will be checked all the way to the final destination. There are several lounges at the airport for Priority Pass holders. 6.5 hours is not ideal but not too bad either.
