If your baggage is not checked through you MUST CLEAR CUSTOMS AND
IMMIGRATION. DO NOT USE THE TRANSFER DESK. Once you have cleared you
will recheck your baggage and clear customs again to exit Russia. If
you use the transfer desk your bags will remain in Russia and be held
by customs.
We had a student have this problem before.

David,
Moldova is not Russia, there should be the way to change the flights
avoiding the immigration procedures. AFAIR after I got into the
Domodedovo airport building after landing pretty many times, there
was the clear sign “TRANSFER” and the stand with the transfer manage
r who is to be contacted on this matter. The crew also warns the con
nection passengers to use transfer agent before landing.
Anyway, if the flight from US lands at Domodedovo, have a look at

Domodedovo
Your first point of arrival in Russia you go through customs and
immigration because it's your point of entry. The same thing happens
when you go to the U.S....when I fly to another destination in the
U.S. after arriving in New York, I have to collect my luggage, go
through immigration, etc. and check my baggage back onto the next
flight. I've even had to do this flying on the same plane (Moscow-
Washington via NY), I had to go through all the immigration and
baggage stuff just to reboard the same plane I was on that was
destined for DC.
I work with lots of camera crews who must do the same thing...their
equipment is all checked in through Moscow, registered and stamped,
then we haul it all onto the next flight, checking in again.
This is not unusual in any country.

Тема: Expat List Question about international transfer at Domodedovo
Hello,
I am taking a United flight from New York to Moscow and then
changing to S7 airlines to go to Moldova. Since they are two
different airlines, my baggage will not be checked through to
Moldova — I will have to pick it up in Moscow. Is there any way to d
o this at Domodedovo airport without going through immigration? On t
he airport's website, this is all the information provided:" Any lug
gage checked through to the final destination at the departure airpo
rt will be processed automatically. If your luggage is checked to Do
modedovo, please notify the transfer agent."
I am wondering if "notify the transfer agent" means this is possible.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks!
Jessica
