This itinerary has a 9-hour layover in Amsterdam on the outbound and a 22:45 hour layover in Amsterdam on the return. Other flight options reduce the outbound flight layover to a couple hours with better arrival time in Moscow. The 23-hour layover in Amsterdam on the return is the kind of itinerary I love for a free city layover on a low cost fare.
