Sheremetyevo: which lounge to choose among B, C and D
At Sheremetyevo, Priority Pass stays in your wallet: it does not appear among the access titles of the lounges. The lounges of the Moscow airport are all run by Sheremetyevo VIP and open with Aeroflot priority-class tickets, with Russian access programmes or simply by paying the entry.
The division to keep in mind is that between domestic and international flights. Terminal C is the one for international departures, while terminals B and D serve domestic flights. Every lounge is after security of its own terminal, so the choice has to be made by looking at where your flight boards.
Those travelling with Aeroflot in priority class, or who are Aeroflot Bonus Gold or Platinum members, enter without paying the most spacious lounges: the Rublev Lounge for domestic flights from Terminal B and the Malevich Lounge for international ones from Terminal C. Both also welcome other passengers for a fee and stay open day and night.
Abstract-design interiors over about 1,423 square metres, with showers and sleeping rooms for those with a long wait before a domestic flight.

The Rublev is the lounge with the most services: it spreads over several levels, has a Clarins spa, showers, rooms for sleeping and a children's area, and its signature is a buffet recognised by Guinness as the longest in the world. The Malevich, the largest in Terminal C, focuses instead on families, with a dedicated children's room, an entertainment centre and rooms for sleeping.
Without status or a premium ticket, the cards that count here are those of Russian access programmes: ON PASS, RusPriority, Every Lounge, Grey Wall Pass, Golden Key and the like. In Terminal C the reference lounge for these titles is the Chagall Lounge, near exit 126, with work areas, showers and rooms for sleeping; in Terminal B the Kandinsky Lounge offers the same basic services in abstract-design interiors, meant for those with a long wait before a domestic flight. In both, those without cards can pay the entry.
In Terminal D there is the Sochi Lounge, a compact lounge that also accepts Comfort Pass and DreamFolks. It is worth knowing that the bar is paid separately, even by those entering with an access programme.
In Terminal C, finally, there are lounges closed to the public: the Alfa Only Lounge is reserved for holders of Alfa Bank's Alfa Only and A-Club cards and offers à la carte cuisine, mini-apartments and spa areas; the Sber Lounge welcomes only SberPervyj and Sber Private Banking clients, with table service and a library. Here paid entry is not available.
At Sheremetyevo the choice starts from the terminal: C for abroad, B or D for domestic flights. Those flying Aeroflot in priority class or with Gold or Platinum status have the Rublev or the Malevich; those holding a card of a Russian programme find a place at the Chagall, the Kandinsky or the Sochi. For everyone else there remains paid entry, possible in almost every lounge: an important detail, given that Priority Pass, here, does not appear among the accepted cards.
