I am going to St Petersburg via Moscow and have 2 hours to change terminals afer arriving at terminal 2 and departing from terminal1 on Aeroflot around 14.15 hrs. Will the time be sufficient. Do foreigners again have to go through immigration at terminal 1 . Any special care to be taken for faster transit please suggest.

Hi,

it's about 6 km between each other. You can use transfer bus, time of trip 15- 20 minutes, cost 80 rubles (2 euro).
The stop near Train Station in Terminal 2. Or you can use a taxi.
You'll need to be a little hurry if you have 2 hours between landing and departure. Sheremetyevo 2 is not the best airport for passport control and customs procedures, sometime it could take an hour to go through.
For the flight to St.Petersbourg you can go without any immigration procedure.

Good luck !

It's a timetable of transfer bus for you:

Also you can use "marshrutka" (it's like a taxi-transfer bus) with numbers 48, 49 and 200M. They can operate often then transfer bus.The stop near arrival terminal Sheremetyevo 2.

Good luck !

Hi!
First: inform steward on your first flight that you have one more Aeroflot flight from Sheremet'evo 1, they advice you how to do transfer quikly.
You have to go through immigration control only one time in terminal 2 after arriving, in terminal 1 you have to go through security control.
Take the Sheremet'evo bus or city bus # 817; see details:

Or taxi ;)

yes, agree above. if you come with Aeroflot, then you may be transferred by Aeroflot bus between terminals (as far as i know). at the same time, 2 hours for foreigner is too short time (to be true) to change SVO2 for SVO1. good luck!

I am also a foreigner, but I have three hours between flights. I am also changin plane in Moscow for st. Peter.

On return, I have 2 hours to change flight, but i won't be needding passport control since im landin from st. peter in moscow, and then i have 2 hours to change terminals and to go to zagreb.

so, 3 hours is enough for foreigners to make passport control and change terminals, and 2 hours for the same procedure but without passport control??

Hi,
3 hours quite enough for the changing terminals without any rush, but you can't feel you absolutly free (keep the time in mind).

About your's flight to Zagreb, don't forget that you need to pass passport control in Sheremetyevo 2 anyway, so having 2 hours between flights you must be very quick.

Good luck !
