Like many passengers arriving at Vnukovo Airport on Aeroexpress trains, we will start our photo tour from the underground railway terminal.

2. The station is in many ways reminiscent of.

5. Ceiling of the station.
6. The station, as well as the entire Terminal A, uses diffused or reflected light, which gives softness to the lighting.
9. Escalators are backlit.
10. The lobby is also like in the subway.
11. You can buy a ticket for both the Aeroexpress and both the Express and the Metro.

24. This staircase leads to the unfinished part of the Terminal, where we go later.
And then we went up to the third level of Terminal A. This is the departure hall. It makes a lasting impression with its space. The high wavy ceiling with glass inserts and unusual columns-lamps, in which the light is propagated by reflectors, evoke associations with some kind of tropical forest. There is absolutely no feeling of being in a closed room. Mezzanines and bridges make it possible to use the space more efficiently: they house cafes, waiting and relaxing areas with sofas, as well as VIP rooms.
26. The third level of the Terminal.
30. On one side the ceiling is lower...
31. ... on the other hand, on the contrary. In fact, behind the advertising banner there will be a continuation of the Terminal, symmetrical to its part in the previous frame, and now there is an old building of Terminal D.
32. Reception desks.
34. Waiting room and exits to aircraft.
35. And here I found the first cafe of the Mu-Mu network, which I liked. I liked it because you can’t smoke in it, as in the entire terminal, unlike its urban options, which I always bypass so as not to inhale the tobacco stench and get a headache as a result. Well, the prices there, as in all cafes of the chain, are democratic: for 300 rubles, I ate two salads, dumplings, drank juice and tea.
36. Riga and Vilnius habitually wormed their way into domestic flights :).
37. Reception desk.
And now let's go to the part of Terminal A under construction, it still has finishing work to do. In plan, this part has a teardrop shape and is placed perpendicular to the forecourt and the already completed part. In the center of this wing is the trunk of a 40-meter tower for controlling the movement of aircraft and vehicles on the platform. Inside the hall, the trunk forms an elliptical space around itself, where winter gardens and a food court will be located.

Moscow has long been considered the largest airport in the world. The world-famous and popular in all countries airports operate here - Vnukovo, Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo - the main civil transport hubs of international class. In addition, the Ostafyevo air hub, the Chkalovsky airfield and the Zhukovsky air hub, which the authorities put into operation quite recently, operate in the capital. Naturally, each of them deserves attention, but today we will talk about the Vnukovo airport terminal - one of the oldest take-off and landing hubs in Moscow.
This air hub is the oldest and most popular air terminal among Muscovites and visiting tourists from other cities. Domestic and international flights are carried out here and liners of 17 airlines land. In addition, the complex is actively used by the city for business aviation flights. Today, the maximum capacity of the airport terminal is 25,000,000 people, and the area occupied by the air hub is 270,000 m².
If we consider in detail the plan of Vnukovo Airport, it is worth noting that it completely consists of several buildings that were created specifically for the convenience of serving visitors and saving time before the flight. Taking into account the huge flow of passengers, the presence of several separate sectors at the airport is a necessary procedure that allows people to easily follow in the right direction. So, we answer the question - how many terminals are there in Vnukovo?
Basically, most passengers use the three main hubs - "A", "B" and "D", which form the Vnukovo-1 hub. But the territory of the airport includes a separate terminal for government officials - Vnukovo-2 and a special sector for servicing VIPs (Vnukovo-3).
Moreover, in the Vnukovo-1 complex, compartments "B" and "D" are combined. Here, it is easy for a beginner to find the right sector and choose the right direction of movement - the airport is equipped with special signs and information stands throughout the complex. For those who use the services of the Vnukovo terminal for the first time and doubt the choice of the right terminal, we will disclose information about each of them in detail.
Node "A"
It is considered the largest, because 80% of the total flow of people is served here. The construction of this terminal consists of three floors, which allows you to sort out passengers flying out of the city or, conversely, arriving in Moscow. This is what Vnukovo Airport is famous for. Terminal "A", the layout of which is thought out to the smallest detail, allows you to find here everything that a person needs before or after a flight.
General scheme of the airport
On the ground floor, you will find left-luggage offices and self-service check-in counters for the aircraft you need. From here, the designers also provide for a transition to the Aeroexpress station. The first level covers a rather vast area - a waiting room, cafeterias, and a network of ATMs have been equipped here. At the entrance, you can use the reception for registration in order to arrange your flight or, conversely, purchase a ticket for the desired airline from the cashiers who work opposite. At the first level of the building, passengers are being examined by customs officers and preparing for the flight.
The second floor of the complex is designed for registration and sorting of luggage for departing passengers. Passengers are also subject to security checks. Receptions function here, where it is appropriate to clarify specific information, information service stands and ticket offices of airlines with which the company cooperates.
The second tier has a specially designated area with a large DVD-cinema for the rest of the company's customers. Passengers use the services of ATMs, go shopping in search of souvenirs or just have a snack in a cafe. A detailed diagram of the Vnukovo airport is located here on the second floor of the complex. There are detailed descriptions of the features of the complex and a detailed plan of the halls. The diagram shows the departure area, children's room, bathrooms, cafeterias, registration points, cash departments, a barrier-free zone and other necessary elements of internal infrastructure.
The third tier is intended mainly for people who are waiting for the right route. There is a cafe, a business hall, cozy seating areas, a Wi-Fi zone. To easily get to the desired floor, it is advisable to use the elevator or escalator.Today, the terminal also accepts domestic flights of Vnukovo. Which terminal is suitable for such flights, it is better to ask the airport administration directly, but, most likely, sector “A” will serve you.
Sector "B"
This building covers 17% of the terminal's customers from the hub's total passenger traffic. From here charters, routes of low-cost companies and flights, the direction of which are Asian countries, fly. In the future, the administration plans to transfer compartment "B" to servicing charter flights, and the remaining routes will be transferred to terminal "A". Although the percentage of visitors here is not high, the complex covers a decent area and has a two-level building.
On the first floor, people check in and check in their luggage. At the box office located at the entrance, passengers buy tickets, not only air, but also railway. There are cafes and special counters on the territory where you can book a hotel room, call a transfer or taxi car, get acquainted with other useful information for tourists who have arrived in Moscow for the first time.
The second floor is intended mainly for the screening of passengers before the flight. Here, the airport control service inspects the belongings of departing people, which customers take on board, and sorts their luggage.
From the second level, passengers who have passed control go to boarding. The same terminal is used by people who intend to fly without luggage. They independently check in at the existing terminals and freely board the aircraft. The entire building of the complex is equipped with a Wi-Fi zone.
Complex "D"
Currently, its services are practically not used. It carries out the arrival of flights only from the North Caucasus region. It is possible that in the future the complex will stop its work, and the building will be demolished. Node "D" does not have its own exit, so you can get into the city only through other sections of the airport.
Terminal "D" today serves only flights from the North Caucasus region
Check-in of passengers begins here two hours before the departure of the aircraft, and its passage requires a certain speed of the passenger. Forty minutes before departure, the check-in attendants stop their work. That is, late passengers will not get on board. Boarding the plane stops 20 minutes before the departure of the liner, so you need to have time to go through all the nuances of this procedure: inspection by customs officers and airport security.
Vnukovo-2
This aviation hub serves exclusively the structures of the country's authorities. His services are used by the President of the Russian Federation, as well as by persons who have arrived in the capital at his invitation or on an official visit. The building of the Vnukovo-2 air hub is located far from the main terminal complex in the south direction.
VIP sector of the terminal
The building itself lies to the west of the other sectors and serves only VIPs who have flown to the capital. The main function of the compartment is to receive delegations that visit the authorities of the capital, and to service flights for the Moscow municipal government. At the end of 2015, 117,781 people used the terminal.
Vnukovo-3 lies to the west of the main passenger terminals and is intended for VIP guests of the capital and local authorities
This complex of three halls processes the check-in of passengers, regardless of which terminal they depart from. There is parking for vehicles and a separate room for negotiations or business meetings. For passengers of the VIP lounge, customs control services and passport checks are provided.
This sector includes the Cosmos terminal, which is used by representatives of the Energia company. Expensive charters and business aircraft fly from here. VIP guests use the second hall of ABT Vnukovo-3. The sector is designed for simultaneous reception of 15 people. The third hall - "Vipport" - operates with a capacity of 40 people per hour.
VIP halls do not accept everyone. Persons who have purchased a special voucher or have previously concluded an agreement for the use of such a room with the airport management will be able to get here. Excluding a possible queue and completely free of charge, this terminal serves only participants and invalids of the Great Patriotic War, as well as heroes of the USSR and the Russian Federation.
If you're wondering how to find another additional and necessary information before the flight, the official website of the airport is provided for customers of this runway, where you can find detailed answers to your questions. The Vnukovo portal is available at this link.
