"airport doesn't have many facilities"

(Netherlands)

Trip Verified | A small airport which got completely upgraded because of the FIFA 2018 games in Russia. On arrival be aware that border control takes 5 min per person. They thoroughly check your whole passport, visa and picture. The airport doesn't have many facilities, only 1 duty free store and some small shops. It's best to use the official taxi service, as there are many scams. A trip from the airport to the city center takes about 30 min and about 700 rubles. Most flights are domestic Russian ones with some international ones. Staff are friendly but don't expect smiles all the time.

"one of the worst airports in the world"

(Canada)

This airport gets my vote for one of the worst airports in the world. Services are dismal. There is nowhere to sit. There are maybe 4 functional check in desks in the entire airport. One pair of public bathrooms (filthy). Not a single luggage cart to be found. The construction mentioned in another review seems to have been left unfinished and all the construction barriers are still in place. This means you can't pull vehicles up to the arrivals/departures area, you have to walk a considerable distance from the clogged makeshift parking lot to the terminal. Fine if you have one roller suitcase, not so fine if you have a large number of bags to check! We had to make 4 trips back and forth from the parking lot to check in to carry our equipment. Oh, and the icing on the cake? Customs agents that had to charge a "fee" (aka bribe) to get our equipment out of the country even though we had all the proper paperwork.

Kaliningrad Airport customer review

(Netherlands)

Kaliningrad airport is currently undergoing reconstruction so it might have improved after this review. The only way to get out of the plane is by stairs. They use one set of stairs per plane. Expect long queues at check in - usually there is only one desk per flight available. Before customs the airport has 1 bar 1 restaurant 2 souvenir shops and small chemist. After customs there is one bar and a duty free store. Prices are decent but the quality at the restaurant requires a Russian stomach in to appreciate the food. Make sure to use the toilet in the plane before landing after landing before customs there is only 1 toilet. The other toilets before customs are dirty and smelly. There is an information desk but they only speak Russian. There are enough taxi's available - choose a registered taxi (with a sign) to avoid being ripped off. There are no other means of transport (bus lines or trains) to leave the airport. The sound installation in the terminal is lousy. In combination with the poor English of the announcers announcements are incomprehensible. Security is pragmatic and efficient. There is an x-ray and metal detector when entering the airport.
