Anyone have any recent experience or knowledge of about the best method to get to Domdedevo Airport from Shermtvo-2 Airport after arriving there?

Factors to consider:
1. are you carrying a lot of baggage(chemodan)?
2. is time a factor to make a connection? Will you be stuck in  "rush hour" traffic? Friday evening is the worst.
3. how is your Russian?

I would either take a taxi, or arrange a driver. $20-$40.

my opinion with the best method is have a private driver take you. You could take a bus, which would be cheap, or a taxi, which would be high, or a private driver who should be less than the taxi.

The cheap way
As you go out the departure door, look for the vans anout 30 yards ahead.  They will have window signs in Russian for "rechnoy vokzal" metro station. They cost 30 rubles so you will have to have changed money before you get on.

this van goes to the metro. At this point you have two options. take this metro, 10 rubles,  its the green line, to Domodedovo metro station and then take a taxi for about 300 rubles. Its 30 minutes to the airport from the Domodyedovo station. Or I think there is another bus but I don't know it.
You can also take the metro to the Paveletsky metro (you will have to change lines) and from there is a train (40 minutes) leaving on the hour every hour to Domededovo airport. Cost 75 rubles.
Total travel time is about 2 hours
