Both my onward and return journey from India were through Moscow airport. Though my stay in were brief to be even counted as landing in Russia, I liked the place a lot. The first thing that comes to mind when landing at airport is, they have a lot of space, esp. if you coming from place like India and New york .The airport is huge. Looking through the window of my flight, I could see small houses, with big gardens, farms … a perfect way of life for me. The infrastructure of the airport seemed more like India, then the west. And the best part – language. I cannot understand a word of Russian language, but it just feels good to hear. I am going back to US, sitting at the Moscow airport. This time it has snowed, and man, the sight is beautiful . I just cant wait to get to Pittsburgh, which apparently has got its own share of snow.
As I had a lot of time to kill , both on my way to India and return, I visited some of the terminals here. They vary a bit in infrastructure. Terminal D seemed quite modern and full big view of the airport. Other terminals have very very big shops, especially terminal F. I was feeling more at a shopping mall then an airport.
This part of the article is a note for self and others who might be travelling. 1) Security checks in russia are very less compared to India/US. 2) Russian Airlines(Aerofloat) is the best I have travelled till now, esp because of big space for seats(Your are not crammed) and USB ports availability. I would definitely recommend them( I have travelled a lot on many different carriers and aerofloat is best). If u vegetarian , make sure put vegan while booking the flight or check in.3) Going to India- definitely buy alcohol at moscow airport – all good one’s, nicely priced.
