Tourists in Sheremetyevo continued to spend the night on the airport floor for the second day

Tourists at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport continue to spend the night on the airport floor — they stay there for about 30 hours. On January 10, eyewitnesses told Izvestia about this.

One of the passengers stuck at the airport noted that some did not even have enough of them and some had to lie on thin mats.

"The only thing that is given out without problems is water," said an eyewitness.

Regarding the food, the man said that boarding passes, it turns out, were charged twice for 800 rubles, but not everyone knows about it.

At the same time, the passengers refused the hotel.

In the footage from Sheremetyevo Airport, you can see hundreds of suitcases waiting to be loaded onto planes. Many passengers complain of difficulties finding their luggage, and some have already gone home without suitcases.

A day earlier, on January 10, Sheremetyevo's press service announced the temporary closure of the airport for aircraft arrivals due to bad weather. Later, Izvestia published footage from Sheremetyevo Airport showing queues in baggage claim areas and at check-in counters. The Moscow Interregional Transport Prosecutor's Office has launched an inspection in connection with massive flight delays at airports. The ministry said it was closely monitoring the situation and monitoring the observance of passengers' rights.

One of the passengers who was at Sheremetyevo, Elizaveta Milman, in an interview with Izvestia, reported that the airline had begun resettling passengers on transit flights in hotels, and then clarified that the airline was obliged to provide overnight passengers with places to stay if their flight was postponed for more than six hours.

On the night of January 11, it became known that Sheremetyevo Airport began operating without restrictions. The Sheremetyevo press service stressed that the working shifts of the airport staff had been strengthened, there were no more accumulations of passengers in the baggage claim areas, and baggage delivery to passengers who had left the airport was carried out at their home addresses.
