Traveller Tips
  • Arrive at least 90 minutes before departure as check-in counters can be slow during peak morning hours.
  • Cash in Russian roubles is advisable as card acceptance at smaller airport outlets may be unreliable.
  • Confirm your flight status directly with the airline, as schedule changes at regional Russian airports can occur with limited notice.
  • Winter temperatures can be severe; dress warmly if waiting outside for transport, as shelter near the forecourt is limited.
