The security lines were not particularly long, nor was passport control/customs on entry. I had heard all these horror stories about stolen luggage, demands for bribes, etc., and none of them were true. There were normal shops and eating places. Compared to the rest of Moscow, it was pretty clean and modern. The one funny thing was that when I checked in at Swissair (I was going to Geneva), they gave me a boarding pass printed on Aeroflot stock, and until I actually saw the plane I thought that maybe the Swissair ticket I had was actually a code-share on SU. (In really it was just that SU is...was...the ground handler for Swissair at SVO.) >> LX is now at DDO
