Having travelled to and from Vnukovo twice (both times flying on German Wings from Berlin), it is an infinitely better introduction to Moscow than Sheremetyevo.
On departure, Germanwings flights depart from a gate area in the depths of the basement (or so it seems), but facilities including duty free and food are good if expensive by Russian standards.

In the past, nearly all international flights (from outside the former USSR) landed at Sheremetyevo International Airport, commonly called Sheremetyevo II.
Sheremetyevo I is actually Terminal I of the same airport; however, it is located a considerable distance from Sheremetyevo II and for practical purposes is a separate airport.
Be careful because the same bus/Marshrutka goes also to Sheremetyevo I and remember that when going to the airport they stop first at Sheremetyevo II and then at Sheremetyevo I. They arrive and depart right in front of the terminal.
