🏢 Terminal Guide & Navigation
Sheremetyevo operates six terminals divided into two main complexes connected by the free SkyExpress train. The North Terminal complex includes Terminals B and C, primarily serving domestic and some regional flights, while the South Terminal complex houses Terminals D, E, and F, serving most international flights including Aeroflot's primary hub operations. Terminal D is the newest and largest, featuring state-of-the-art facilities, while Terminals E and F handle SkyTeam alliance members and other international carriers. All terminals within each complex are connected airside, but transfers between North and South complexes require the SkyExpress train (8-12 minutes) or inter-terminal bus.
Terminals feature modern security systems, automated passport control, extensive duty-free shopping, and Russian cuisine options alongside international brands. Business lounges include Aeroflot Business Lounges, VIP halls, and Priority Pass facilities. Walking distances within terminals range from 5-20 minutes depending on gate assignments.

Ground transportation includes Aeroexpress trains to central Moscow (35 minutes), city buses, and taxi services. Recent 2024-2025 enhancements include expanded immigration facilities, improved wayfinding systems, and enhanced retail offerings in Terminal D.
