Sheremetyevo International Airport Terminal E Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Terminal E is a long, narrow east–west “bridge” terminal inside Moscow’s main airport complex, built to connect the South Terminal Complex rather than function as a standalone hall. The practical map scale is linear: Level 1 is arrivals and landside exits, while Level 3 is the “network layer” where the D–E gallery, Sheremetyevo-2 inter-terminal train access, and the Aeroexpress corridor all branch from the same west-end junction.
Map Table
| Level / Zone | Primary Nodes | Key Connections | Dealbreakers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Arrivals hall, baggage reclaim, customs | Landside curb, bus/taxi zone | Level-1 dead end for transfers |
| Level 2 | Arrivals gallery, V-Express Transit Hotel | Transfer desks zone, passport-control feed | Descend to passport control = Russia entry loop |
| Level 3 | Departures atrium, main junction “rotunda” | Terminal D gallery, Sheremetyevo-2 access, Aeroexpress corridor | Wrong turn at split = wrong rail system |
| East end | Former Terminal F side | E–F connector area | Terminal F works, connector sealed |
Sheremetyevo International Airport Terminal E Map Strategy
- Go up to Level 3 immediately for anything involving Terminal D, the inter-terminal train, or Aeroexpress; Level 1 is arrivals-only and burns time.
- At the west-end Level 3 split, separate “Aeroexpress (to Moscow)” from “Inter-terminal train (to B/C)”; one wrong turn sends you to the wrong platform area.
- Plan around the cart constraint: baggage carts don’t work for the inter-terminal train segment, so heavy-luggage transfers should favor landside bus/driver options.
- Treat the Terminal F direction as a hard no-go for through-routing and lounges; build every path assuming the E–F connector is sealed.

Operational reality in 2026 still matters more than the static floorplan: Terminal E functions primarily as a transit corridor for the South Terminal Complex, with Level 3 doing nearly all the “connective” work. Expect shuttered amenities and limited staff presence, and treat Terminal F-side links as non-usable due to reconstruction constraints while routing through the D–E gallery and rail interfaces.

2026 Sheremetyevo International Airport Terminal E Map Guide
What is the exact physical entrance point to the inter-terminal train “Sheremetyevo-2” station from Terminal E, including the floor/level?
The Sheremetyevo-2 inter-terminal train entrance sits on Level 3 inside the Terminal D–Terminal E pedestrian gallery, not in the Level 1 arrivals hall. From Terminal E’s main Level 3 departures atrium, the viable approach is to walk west toward Terminal D until you reach the gallery segment where the station entry opens off the side wall.
| Step / Landmark | Movement | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal E departures atrium | Enter the westbound gallery toward Terminal D | 3 |
| D–E connector gallery “seam” | Station entry off the gallery side wall | 3 |
| Sheremetyevo-2 gates | Pass barriers to platform descent zone | 3 |
Where is the passport control hall entrance located relative to Terminal E international arrivals exit (which corridor/turnoff)?
The passport control entrance is not reached from the landside international arrivals exit; it is fed from the airside arrivals gallery on Level 2 and then drops down to Level 1 booths. After arriving airside in the South Terminal Complex, the sterile Level 2 corridor runs along the terminal length and funnels you to a centralized passport-control entry bank mid-terminal, where escalators/stairs descend into the Level 1 passport hall.
The landside sequence is one-way: passport control → baggage reclaim → customs → public arrivals hall. Once you exit customs into the public Level 1 arrivals hall, there is no corridor turnoff that re-enters the passport-control queue from landside.
What is the exact walking route (turn-by-turn landmarks) from Terminal E arrivals to the Aeroexpress access corridor?
The Aeroexpress access route runs from Level 1 international arrivals up to Level 3, then branches into the dedicated rail corridor off the main Terminal E circulation path. From the public arrivals hall, the critical move is reaching the central vertical core and staying on Level 3 until the red Aeroexpress branding and ticket barrier bank appears.
| Segment | Landmarks | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Arrivals exit → vertical core | Customs exit (Green/Red Channel), central atrium | Walk to the main escalator/panoramic elevator bank |
| Vertical transition | Panoramic elevators, central escalators | Go up to Level 3 (skip Level 2) |
| Level 3 orientation | Departures atrium, west-end junction area | Follow Aeroexpress signs into the rail-side gallery |
| Corridor termination | Aeroexpress ticket barrier bank | Continue straight to the barriers/platform access |
Where are the elevators located on the shortest path from Terminal E arrivals to Sheremetyevo-2 station, and do they appear cart-passable on the map?
The primary elevators sit in the geometric center of Terminal E’s public atrium and they are cart-passable. From Level 1 arrivals, the shortest viable path is to use this central panoramic elevator bank to reach Level 3, then continue west into the D–E connector gallery to the Sheremetyevo-2 station entrance.
| Path segment | Elevator node | Cart verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 arrivals hall → vertical core | Central panoramic (glass) elevators beside the main escalator bank | Passable |
| Level 3 departures atrium → westbound gallery | No elevator needed (same level) | N/A |
| Station entrance → platform descent zone | Station-specific escalators/elevators beyond the entry gates | Carts blocked by train rules |
What is the exact location of the transfer baggage recheck / transfer check-in counter area relative to Terminal E arrivals (exact node on the plan)?
No dedicated transfer-baggage recheck belt exists as a “drop-and-go” node in Terminal E’s Level 1 public arrivals hall; the functional recheck node is in Terminal D’s Level 3 check-in hall. From Terminal E arrivals, the workable path is Level 1 → central elevators to Level 3 → westbound D–E gallery → Terminal D check-in islands used for Aeroflot/Rossiya/Pobeda operations.
| Node | Relative position from Terminal E arrivals | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal E arrivals exit | Post-customs public hall start point | 1 |
| Central vertical core | Mid-atrium elevator/escalator bank | 1 → 3 |
| Terminal D check-in hall | Check-in island zone (operational counters) | 3 |
Where does the airside connector corridor between Terminal E and Terminal F begin (exact doorway/escalator bank on the Terminal E plan)?
No airside connector is usable from Terminal E into Terminal F; the Terminal F-side corridor is sealed due to reconstruction. On the Terminal E plan, the corridor would originate at the east end of Terminal E near the historical Gate 41/42 zone, but the “start point” functions as a blocked frontage rather than a passable doorway or escalator bank.
Treat any routing that relies on cutting through Terminal F—lounges, shortcuts, smoking rooms—as a hard no-go. The only viable inter-terminal movement in the South Terminal Complex is routed toward Terminal D via the Level 3 pedestrian gallery.
What is the exact decision-point junction (the first major split) where signage routes you from Terminal E toward (a) inter-terminal train vs (b) Aeroexpress, and where is it on the map?
The first major decision split is the west-end Level 3 junction where Terminal E’s departures atrium meets the Terminal D–E connector gallery and the Aeroexpress branch. At this “rotunda” node, signage sends Aeroexpress traffic into the dedicated rail-side corridor, while inter-terminal train traffic continues into the D–E gallery toward the Sheremetyevo-2 station entrance.
| Choice at the junction | Directional cue | What you should see |
|---|---|---|
| Aeroexpress (to Moscow) | Branch off into the rail terminal corridor | Red Aeroexpress branding, ticket machines/barriers |
| Inter-terminal train (to B/C) | Continue into the D–E connector gallery | Train icon, Terminal B/C pictograms, “Sheremetyevo-2” context |
What is the walking distance from the Sheremetyevo-1 station exit to the Terminal B check-in hall entrance (in meters)?
The walking distance is approximately 200–250 meters of horizontal travel from the Sheremetyevo-1 station exit to the Terminal B check-in hall entrance, plus a Level 1 to Level 3 ascent. This assumes you exit the station into the Terminal B/C junction lobby, cross into the main Terminal B atrium, then reach the vertical transport core up to departures.
| Segment | Landmark nodes | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Station exit → inter-terminal passage lobby | Sheremetyevo-1 barriers, passage hall | ~50 m |
| Lobby → Terminal B atrium edge | Main atrium threshold, wayfinding pylons | ~50 m |
| Atrium → vertical transport core | Elevator/escalator bank access point | ~50 m |
| Level 3 arrival → check-in hall entrance line | Departures floor edge into check-in zone | ~50–100 m |
Where is the Aeroflot / “Connecting Flights” transfer desk located inside Terminal E (exact hall/landmark position)?
The Aeroflot “Connecting Flights” transfer desk sits in the airside Arrivals Gallery on Level 2 adjacent to the V-Express Transit Hotel, before the descent to passport control. This placement makes the desk a last safe stop for international transit passengers who must stay in the sterile corridor; once you go down into the passport-control hall, you have effectively entered the Russia-arrivals processing loop.
With Terminal E’s reduced operations, signage may push transfer passengers onward along the sterile corridor toward Terminal D’s operational transfer desks instead of staffed counters in E.
What is the exact location of the Terminal E → Terminal D pedestrian gallery connection (the start point inside E), including the level?
The Terminal E → Terminal D pedestrian gallery starts at the west end of Terminal E’s Level 3 departures hall as a seamless continuation of the main atrium into the connector corridor. From inside Terminal E, the start point is the Level 3 circulation edge where moving walkways begin and the sightline opens into the D–E link.
The same Level 3 corridor also hosts the approach to the Sheremetyevo-2 inter-terminal train access, so this west-end departures junction is the critical anchor for any E → D transfer routing under time pressure.
