Moscow Airport Transfers.

[NanLaew]

I am on a Brit passport and have an option for Russian flights that would mean changing from DME (Domodedovo) for the domestic arrival to SVE (Sheremetyevo) for the international departure.

A websurf showed that ground transportation between airports is lacking and I have been told of 'unofficial tax collections' as well as hassles with Transit visas.

Anyone with fresh information out there?

This is not recent - 14 months ago, I had to make both those transfers. Huge mistake. No connection except by taxi, and I paid over 100 dollars to get from one to the other. Then a bunch more to get to and from an overnight hotel. Likewise, on the return trip, I paid a ransom to get to my new hotel, and made a deal with the taxi driver to take me to the other airport three days later for a smaller fortune. I wish I had avoided Russia altogether.

Both airports have a train connection (to different train stations), so if you have a lot of time, you can take this option: take train to the center, take subway/taxi to another train station, take train to the airport.

Thanks for that! My mind is made up, I aint changing airports so I can get KLM business class so I will stay with BMI coach. I have a 5 hour layover at DME so that will be fine.
