New terminal has a modern spacious design with high ceilings and nice illumination. Free wifi is provided and works fast. There are plenty of shops including cafes, gift shops, pharmacy and Starbucks!
An exceedingly nice airport. Having undergone further extension a new terminal is able to house a decent number of people not being overcrowded. High ceilings, great space and convenient navigation!
There are many unnecessary control points.E.g.you have your boarding passprinted, but they don’t accept it, so you have to stand in the check-in line for 40 minutes to get a “proper” boarding pass...
Money exchange on the right as you exit the baggage claim and customs. You need to be able to receive a confirmation code thru sms to activate the free Wi-Fi
Get the official taxi service, desk just outside the external arriving, at the right. Circa 900 rubles downtown. Ignore the clandestine and unreliable deals!
"It was a rough place — the seediest dive on the wharf — populated with every reject and cut-throat from Bombay to Calcutta. It was worse than Detroit."
Super long process and over crowded for departure like wanting us to stay at Russia forever. Staff is incredibly incapable of English and is not willing to perform duty.
Considering this is a new airport, they have way too few check in lines, and also - what airport in the 21st century doesn't accept mobile boarding passes?
Was surprised to find there a new terminal opened. But the joy of new design of building replaced by disappointment from bad air-conditioning at Gates area and the lack of electrical outlets.
