[2025 Khimki Airports] Travel Guide for Sheremetyevo International Airport (Updated May)

Welcome to Moscow - Sheremetyevo Alexander S. Pushkin International Airport. One of four international airports serving the capital city of Russian Federation - Moscow. Sheremetyevo was opened in 1959 and now it is the busiest airport in Russia and the second busiest in Europe. Originally the airport was called “ Sheremetyevo International airport” after a nearby village. In 2019 the name was “extended” and now it is including the name of the Russian poet Alexander S. Pushkin. Six terminals, 3 runways are in active use, and the 3rd runway was opened in 2019. It is also the main hub for Aeroflot. #passionpassport #russia #aeroflot #moscow #sheremetyevo #airport #airportintravel #aviation #aviationlove #aviationspotter

🛫 Took a plane from Guangzhou to Moscow (4555 RMB) around 11 hours 20 minutes. The company was Aeroflot. Some crew members were so rude, lazy to help or lazy to work. They served lunch and dinner (Chinese style noodles or rice and fish). 🛬 Arrived to Moscow Sheremetyevo airport and took airport express to city. I don’t remember the ticket price. 😁 ❗️ The airport is sooooo confusing. It doesn’t have second floor, only 1st and 3rd. 😂 but it’s okay, signs are quite clear. Wait for other posts 😝😝 📸 @_ana_mee_ on Instagram. #passionpassport #russianfederation #travelinspiration

In general, I flew with this airline and it was okay. The flight wasn't too tiring, but the departure flight was a bit delayed, but the return flight was on time.

I can't forget the first day I set foot in Russia! When I arrived at Serenityevo Airport, I was surprised by its size, and I felt proud of my country while watching advertisements for Korean car brands. But as soon as I got out, I got stung by a bee and went to the airport emergency room, where I had to go through a brutal initiation ceremony by getting 3 shots. I can laugh about it now, but it was so scary, I'm lost in old memories 😄

I always feel this, but Russia seems to like everything big because it has a large land area. I have visited Sheremetyevo Airport many times, and I have experienced the scale of the airport more than once. For various reasons, there are not many people compared to the size of the airport. Some terminals are even closed. I hope that the airport will be revitalized by increasing the number of Korean-Russian flights again.

I have visited Sheremetyevo Airport many times, but it really feels like a big airport. The distance between terminals is far, and since Russia is so big, the airport feels big. I am thinking about many things as I look at the plane before my flight back to Korea.
