Don't use flights via Moscow........
What specifically is wrong with flying via Moscow? I've read some horror stories about Aeroflot, but they have been offering some ridiculously cheap fares between mainland Europe and Hong Kong which have been tempting me over the past few months. I hear Sheremetyevo has recently opened up a new terminal which makes transit less painful - has anyone experienced this recently (I.e. in the past 12 months)?
Also, I've read that it's possible to obtain a transit visa on arrival which would enable a passenger in transit to leave the airport for a few hours to explore Moscow - is this an option available to UK passport holders? (sorry for the thread drift but its a slightly related topic)...
