Well, let me take you back 50 years. In their defense there is no good reason to visit here unless you know someone here, so they are just a old soviet type serviceable airport. At arrival you are led off the plane and papers checked before boarding the bus. The bus then travels maybe 50 yards and I swear the same guy checks your papers again as you get off.  He must run along side!  You are then lead up stairs thru a corridor last painted by Stalin himself and straight to a small room for passport control. It was like being herded like cattle. There is absolutely nothing there to distract you. Then on to baggage claim and customs which is no hassle, but again there is nothing but that. The second you walk out of customs you are in the meeting area which is the size of my bedroom and then outside. There is NO margin for error!!  On departure they have a small bar. coffee area and hard few seats. It is not much better once you pass passport control or customs in the boarding area. Only a small duty free and sudo-bar type place. All hard seats, all no-nonsense all typically soviet era. It not bad, you will feel safe, but if you are looking for a pleasant experience, forget it. It is what is is!!! If you wish to travel back in time, you can do it by just a visit here. Just don’t expect much at all.
