There is a good road leading to the airport, a lot of taxi drivers, and public transport is not developed enough. There is a good paid parking. The airport itself is quite convenient and clean, a good restroom, a lot of ATMs and various terminals, sometimes local SIM cards are distributed. There is not enough of any large snack bar or store. Overall, the impression is positive.
Manas is a small airport, but nevertheless there is everything you need. As a standard, I go straight to the business lounge and spend time there before departure, it has become even more comfortable after the renovation, there are snacks and alcohol, both paid and free. Duty Free is not big, but you can buy something for gifts and so-so if you need, registration and other formalities are quick, the staff are polite. There are no problems getting a taxi from there either, you can call and take a local one at the airport, I took it repeatedly, everything is OK, the cost does not differ, only the class of cars. There is also a smoking room on the ground floor at the end of the hall for those who smoke.
The airport is getting more comfortable every year. The staff is polite and loyal. There is no rudeness or rudeness. Friendly and helpful. Autumn has spacious halls, registration took place slowly, without long queues, in a clean area it is also comfortable, there are many kiosks where you can buy souvenirs, there is a cafe. A wonderful airport.
Taxi drivers are very annoying, they don't let you pass.
The airport is near Bishkek. The distance to the city is 23 kilometers. The building is small, but has everything you need. There are duty free shops, cafes and recreation areas. A small wish is to complete the chairs. In general, the air harbor meets modern requirements. There are many flights to various destinations, friendly service.
A small but clean airport. Unlike Moscow airports in Bishkek, you can eat inexpensively and buy souvenirs for sane money. There are free charging and Wi-Fi. There are not many people - you can always find a place to sit down.
A very cozy airport. For those who are hungry, I recommend the cafe on the second floor, which, despite the relatively modest interior, is very tasty and well prepared. The prices are inexpensive, at the level of cafes in Bishkek.
A small, cozy airport, everything is there, everything is clear. There is also a currency exchange, but the exchange rate is not profitable at any airport, you can buy a SIM card immediately upon exit, just do not be fooled by the stories of employees, with a high probability the cheapest Internet SIM card will be unlimited, even for distribution, as it was with me. The connection is Mega. Although they said only 5-6 GB, although this is more than enough for a week. There is a business hall, small but cozy, bookstores and even a post office.
Small, cozy. A very cool room for moms and toddlers. A large number of shops, souvenir shops and cafes. The only drawback was that I had to drag the stroller up the stairs.
It's a good airport. At the exit from the arrival hall there are many stalls where you will quickly get a SIM card. Mine with 20 gigabytes cost me 200 rubles (they took it in cash rubles). Again, this room has the best exchanger at the airport. The course will be slightly worse than in the city. And the most interesting thing is the bus 153, which runs every half hour. In my case, it was almost empty and cost 140 soms (24 years) instead of 800-900 soms that the taxi drivers asked for. Half an hour and I'm in the city center.
I liked the airport, there is a place to eat, the prices are average, surprisingly!it is not at all typical for an airport, people are friendly, there is a place to relax, where to charge the phone, souvenir shops, coffee machines
It's a good airport. The heat is +38 outside, and it's cool at the airport. The air conditioners are working, the room and toilets are clean. All employees politely answered the questions. I liked the airport!
A good airport, the waiting room is spacious. I want to tell you about the business hall separately. The location is good, with a view of the airfield. But tables and chairs are a separate topic! It is not convenient to sit at all from the word, the tables are low. The food is cold, the assortment is small. However, there is a microwave for heating hot dishes. If you change tables and chairs, then in general it's not bad.
I'm not writing about the pros , everything has already been said . Here was one of my favorite business halls
: quiet, cozy, you could comfortably sit in chairs with high armrests on the podium and look out the window before a long flight. Renova changed everything . Of the advantages, only the red carpet and the new carpet . It is uncomfortable to sit in new armchairs and sofas . The round tables are small and low. The bathrooms have been reduced - they are weak. The previous design of the hall gave comfort and coziness .
A large modern airport, everything is accessible and understandable, I did not have to go looking for something, polite hall staff directed me where I needed to go, there is a place to eat and just drink coffee, there are currency exchange offices, air conditioners worked in the heat, I liked the airport
Clean, comfortable, and pretty. The airport was built under the USSR and carries the spirit of that time) Despite the fact that Ural Airlines delayed our flight for 6 hours, we had a pleasant time and the impression of the airport remained good. There are nice cafes, you can sit comfortably, there are enough places)))
A comfortable airport. Everything is organized, the staff are polite and courteous. The business lounge is cozy, like an island of tranquility. The snack is not particularly varied. Information boards are conveniently located, an overview is possible from different places in the hall.
The airport is small, but all the amenities are there. The staff is polite. A taxi is not expensive, because the distance from Bishkek to the airport is 25 km, I think, but the taxi price was 600 som, which is fine, my respect for taxi drivers increased, but I took 200 som for 10 meters there, I've been thinking a lot... As it is, everything is fine.
Clean, spacious. 4 stars for slow registration. Apparently the software is weak. This causes long queues. I hope that in the near future there will be funds to eliminate this gap. Kyrgyzstan is a beautiful country, rich in its traditions and its hardworking people. And I want the technical capabilities to be at the modern level. I wish you prosperity.
It looks like a small building. In fact, there is a spacious terminal for international flights (I haven't been on domestic flights, I can't say anything)
Inside it is very spacious, lots of air (unlike Almaty airport), clean (unlike Tolmachevo airport), good smoking rooms (unlike both Istanbul airports).
There are many catering establishments, but the price tag bites. There are currency exchangers, there are ATMs (of local banks).
The toilets are clean and spacious.
There is a cafe near the main entrance with prices "like in the city", but there is no toilet in it.
I took off one star for obsessive taxi drivers. It is quite uncomfortable for newcomers to enter the terminal building.
On the second or third visit, a "brick face" and a "local look" are developed — when you already know what and how much it should cost.
There is free Wi-Fi (slow), there are kiosks of local mobile operators, there is a pharmacy
Everything is like ordinary airports, there are always a lot of people, the most important thing is that we are at home when you return, such a feeling covers you, it is not possible to explain it in words, it is out of boredom I do not know, prosper my native homeland!!!
The country's main airport is small, but it does well, Dutifry with very affordable prices, better than in St. Petersburg and Moscow, even for those flying inside the EAEU.
Quite a nice, clean, tidy airport! Not big! The prices in the cafe, as in all airports, are not small! There would be more space for charging phones and waiting chairs!
I liked the airport. There are a lot of bars and cafes where you can have a bite and a drink. There are no queues anywhere, lots of ATMs and exchangers. The only small disadvantage is a bunch of annoying taxi drivers on arrival.
At the entrance, the staff are rude, as if they have already violated something. Courtesy for three.
The airport itself is clean. The store staff is friendly, but slow. There is a choice of what to eat!
Overall, it's good.
Cleanly neat. The controls were quickly passed. I was even surprised when they were looking for and waiting for a passenger on the flight for 10 minutes at the end. Landings. Well done, they work well. Not like in Sheremetyevo. It closes earlier than the boarding time.
A normal airport has its pros and cons, as all airports have parking problems, but what I note every time is the rapid passage of passport control.
Unless the window you're standing in suddenly closes due to a technical glitch))
The Republic of Kyrgyzstan .
Manas International Airport
It can be said that it is far from the city, more than 30 km, it is necessary to set the time, traffic jams are possible.
The airport is spacious, three floors, there is a business lounge, duty-free, waiting room. I was in the country for the first time and I really liked it.
The business waiting room meets all high standards, not only in Russian cities, but also according to international standards.
We had a great rest while waiting for our flight.
A convenient airport. Toilet rooms need to be repaired. There is a large selection of goods and souvenirs in the shops. In exchange offices, the exchange rate is not profitable.
The airport is quite spacious and clean. There aren't many people. If you have not bought souvenirs, then there are several departments in the registration hall, the price is very reasonable, but in the waiting room the prices are 2-2.5 times higher. There are several departments of dutifrey, but in them alcohol prices are 2 times higher than in the city (I take Bishkek cognac for comparison).
A great place where employees take care of the comfortable stay of passengers. There are duty free zones, food courts, and a smoking room. Clean and free toilets, a beautiful view of the field. All employees are responsive, ready to help, and peaceful.
It's a very good airport for a Central Asian city. There was a fairly large sterile area, and there were no problems with seating. There were no queues anywhere at 5 a.m.
Kyrgyzstan welcomes and accompanies you sincerely! A high-quality and comfortable airport. There is something to do while waiting for a delayed Ural Airlines flight - do not fly Ural Airlines to/from Bishkek
Everything is at the international level.
Customs control was carried out quickly and efficiently, no one found fault.
The level of the airport and the service has increased significantly compared to the previous years
Good staff, waiting room.
Services for the disabled.
My husband and I are very grateful to this service staff.
They are such good fellows, they will help, they will take you, they will do everything on time.
The airport is an old Soviet-built one. It's a little cramped, but it's not particularly loaded either. On arrival, it is better to take SIM cards at the exit in the waiting room, inside immediately after checking the point of sale of SIM cards I do not recommend.
Small, cozy. I like the airport because they have officially organized a taxi, local communication can be connected there, inexpensively. There is a bus service to the city, but not around the clock.
The airport is small, but everything is quite clearly located, do not get lost. There are points in the arrival area where you can purchase SIM cards, do not rush to purchase at the first table, go further and there will be more choice. There are also many exchangers in the arrival area. Follow the course. There are no problems with taxis, there are many offers. However, you can also get to the city by bus or order a Yandex taxi. There are duty free, cafes and toilets in the departure area. WiFi is free. The building itself is still from the Soviet period, but everything is clean and sound.
The arrival area is quite convenient! There are many windows for passport control, which reduces the time spent in the queue. Do not buy a SIM card at the airport, drive to the nearest shopping center and take a SIM card "O" for only 350 rubles.
There is a Beeline salon near the exit, Wi-Fi is catching there. Yandex taxi works great, do not overpay taxi drivers. The exchange is also more profitable in Bishkek. If you arrived with a foreign passport, you can issue a Bakai Bank card, but you will not be able to use a Russian passport.
It was very disappointing that there is no luggage storage at the airport and nowhere to rest if there is a long flight delay. No, there is no capsule hotel and a corner where you can sleep even for money.
Apparently, due to the fact that the room is small, but it is very inconvenient for travelers.
I visited Kyrgyzstan for the first time on 02/21/2023, I personally liked it, the guys from customs, politely explains everything, the airport itself is beautifully built, near cafes and amenities, at the airport, the staff of the mother and children's room allowed my daughter and me to wait for the flight back, there are laws, but despite the fact that I have a 10-year-old child,and so up to 7 years is allowed , in this I am personally grateful to the staff ,,the mother and children's rooms,, we had a 12-hour flight waiting,I advise everyone to stay in Kyrgyzstan, if I did not personally have a case, then there would definitely be a week left clean first of all everything is normal,the staff politely serves, the waiting time for my daughter and I had a 12-hour flight back, I do not complain perfectly, I would have given these guys a customs award for service personally, the most interesting moment outside the airport on the street working taxi drivers, these people with a big heart and not profit, they told me where and where, how and what, where everything was explained cheaper, many thanks to the people of Kyrgyzstan
