Small functional airport. No frills. Arrived at about 3.30am from London. Not many passengers on the flight.
Everything went smoothly and we were through immigration, baggage and customs in no time. Once landside
I realised my cell phone had fallen out of my pocket, probably on the plane. A member of the BMI ground
staff called the plane who found the phone and brought it to me. If arriving at Bishkek, always make sure
you are being collected at the airport by someone you trust and don't rely on taxis at the airport. Check in on
the return trip at about 5.30 am was trouble free, if a little slow on account of no online check in for my
Turkish Airlines flight and painfully sluggish check in and security check staff. Travelled Business Class. Don't
expect much from the BC lounge. Tired sandwiches and cake, very limited choice of beverages and staff who
were more interested in keeping up their conversation with each other to be bothered with the customers.
Overall, the airport did its job. Don't expect much and you won't be disappointed.

Overall the airport does the job and is an adequate small international hub, but travellers
beware of a dangerous scam by unregistered taxi drivers here. My driver was touting for custom
with the rest of them as I came out of customs and immigration, but turned out to be working
with a fellow "passenger" who stopped the car between the airport and the city and extorted
money from me to complete the journey. Two young men to one older man, no contest here.
Foolishly, I only spotted the warning signs that the two of them were trouble too late and am
grateful that it was only my pocket that was dented. Only ever take a registered taxi with the
yellow taxi sign on top, or better still have someone meet you. It sounds obvious, but as most
flights arrive here in the middle of the night it is possible to be caught out as I was.
