- Leandros NikolaidisApril 7, 2017Probably the best airport in Russia. New, clean and practical. Even the toilets are well kept.
- Gezen GörenApril 15, 2017if you are a turkish citizen, your entry will be a nightmare with waiting time up to 2 hours at the passport control
- The airport is not for European soul)) but trust me dear visitors, it awesome comparing to TUMEN, Yoshkarala(yes, it's also a Russian city) and other amazing Russian airports :)
- Simon KeimFebruary 16, 2013I am always super happy here in my travels to Russia. You can find your way also without Russian and there are nice stores :) one of my favourite airports in Russia!!!
- Leandros NikolaidisMay 16, 2017A more than adequate international airport for St Petersburg, that could grow larger in the future
- I have been flying all over Kazakhstan and Zambia even and I have never seen such a pity proportion of organization to a passenger flow. One can see it by very entry door (try to find one that works)
- After reconstruction and new terminal launch has became much better! Now it's hard to imagine that small caffe and shop area at domestic flights was a whole airport some years ago.
- milaliluMay 16, 2013You have to wait for transfer to pulkovo 2 forever. Forever. And then the "fun" drive through the highway. Might as well miss the flight. Allow extra time when choosing your connection time.
- Ken StoreyApril 7, 2013Make sure you arrive a few hours early. The airport is very disorganized and hard to find where to check in and board. They are usually understaffed with very long lines. Expect to wait a long time.
- nice place. Free wifi, inexpensive cafe. A reason to come early before your flight
- Majed AlashariJuly 10, 2017Small airport in big city. Have many options for food & drinks. They need to improve the A/C.
- You can enter the building from the arrive section on the ground floor. There are not many people like in enter on the 1st floor
- Mark DavidsonFebruary 19, 2012Haggle with the taxi drivers. Don't pay more than 900 Rubbles for a taxi to the city centre. You can prob get it even cheaper than this.
- Bahar NuralOctober 30, 2012One of the most significant historical place in Saint Petersburg.. I've never seen an airport as old and out-of-order as it is...
- Roziah SamMarch 24, 2017Long, long walk from Terminal D to Terminal F (20-30min) on transfer. Additional time to pass through immigration. They scrutinise your visa with a magnifying eye glass, literally!
- Albert NazanderJuly 20, 2013Burger king on the 3rd floor the only reasonably priced cafe at the whole airport.
- Pullover airport is a f""" shame of St. Petersburg, soviet style crap.Plus annoying City bank addicted people and always delay of luggage delivery. It is a Great city but this airport is a nightmare.
- Don't expect to have a nice dinner at gates 9-11. Only one small soviet style cafe.
- Jacqui LoughJuly 23, 2013If you fly domestic into Petersburg/LED, you'll go to this airport, Pulkovo-1. International flights go to Pulkovo-2, a different airport. End up in the wrong one? look for the hourly shuttle bus.
- the most terrible security check experience in the country :)
- The most annoying and dumbest security check people/monkeys ever! This airport is in need of review of the security procedure and the scanners - they will save at least two monkeys per scanner..
- If you're hungry, you'd better satisfy your needs after checkin but before security check. Otherwise be prepared for soviet-style sandwiches and shitty coffee at the gate entrance.
- Control weight on 2nd floor, in centre of hall, left from registration.
- Leandros NikolaidisMay 23, 2017It's a good enough international airport, just not good enough for Peter!
- Luigi MatroneJune 26, 2011Such a shitty airport for such a great city ... Plan to be here in advance !
- As mentioned on landing: "Please, don't forget your personal sins..."
- Some international flights depart from here!!! Russia airline!! Check before leave town!!
- The worst airport ever. Seriously. "It was a rough place - the seediest dive on the wharf. Populated with every reject and cutthroat from Bombay to Calcutta. It's worse than Detroit."
- ian stewartMarch 8, 2012Never! Never use this airport for transit. Us fit for a holiday or end stop BUT NEVER try and transit here. It's a bloody nightmare :-)
- we really trying to build you a better airport lets wait and see))
- Rather good, but yet not perfect. Some things need to be done.
- crazy. Nothing and nobody works, due to the f.....g G20, only prices have doubled! Who the f... needs G20?
- Takes ages to get luggage. Probably, it was flying on next plane....
