A cramped airport, very chaotic queues at the entrance, it would be good to regulate this
But there are decent cafes and souvenirs inside. Easy navigation
A good airport, border control tries to work quickly. There is a duty free, but not with the widest range. There is an exchanger, a mobile operator's office.
Super at least, because Wi-Fi works there, just flew in and works, without being linked to a passport, just flew in and works (exactly upon arrival at the airport).
That is, a person can contact a greeter (Vnukovo as much as possible ... in no way))
Of course, then you will need to buy a SIM card from a local operator, but that's later.
The greeter and the adjacent are already in touch...
An ordinary airport, Nothing special, Considering that Bishkek is the capital of Kyrgyzstan, probably expectations are somewhat higher. Upon arrival, we were pleased with a separate counter for passengers with biometric passports, which definitely reduced the passage of the passport control border. On the way back, the duty free zone is still gaining momentum, prominent essays of good stores with a decent offer of space are provided for this, and looking at the range of perfume, I will say that it is quite relevant. Great, It Turned Out To Be An Opportunity to pay with a world card. The waiting area is not very comfortable as it does not involve long waiting periods for passengers, the airport is somehow directly close to the city. I put a solid C plus, I am sure that the best is yet to come.
The exchange rate on arrival is slightly less profitable than in the city. Yandex is working.Taxi, which is very convenient. There is Wi-Fi, but I would not rely on it much. You can buy a local SIM card upon arrival.
On departure, a satisfied big duty dree and a good pizzeria
A small, comfortable airport. Association with the Soviet past. Everything is clean. It's a long way from Bishkek. There is a parking lot. There are a lot of taxi drivers, but they are unobtrusive.
There is a dutifry, there is enough of everything, the prices are reasonable. The business lounge is nice, cozy, there is not much food, but enough. The staff is polite.

Wonderful airport; polite staff! Everything is fast and without queues! A lot of cafes where there is alcohol - the price is very affordable! There is a smoking room - in general, 5 out of 5 (p.s. personally, in my opinion, it is several times better than the combined Moscow airports), but Dubai; Antalya, etc. - in general, they nervously smoke on the sidelines!
Well done!
After all the recent repairs, the airport has become even better. It was not bad before: a very spacious Soviet building, everything worked quite efficiently. And now there are even separate passport control desks for biometric passports. Awesome
I liked its coolness, affordable services, high prices at any airport, there are exchange offices, which is not a little important for visitors from other countries
A lovely Soviet port. I'm sorry that a lot of ports are being broken and rebuilt. The scoop was scary. But even then, architects were advanced and smart.
Everything is at the highest level, I haven't been home for five years. Everything has changed, clean, neat, polite staff, they will tell you everything and tell you everything. In general, we were very pleasantly surprised. I'm really proud. Thanks
Precise. It doesn't seem to be a big one, but at the same time, passport control was passed quickly. Everything is well organized. There are shops in the departure area that accept both rubles, dollars and euros.
The airport is quite good.
Well maintained.
In general, all controls can be carried out quickly.
A lot of duty free.
There is a place to have a snack in the departure area, but no more.
You won't find any restaurants here.
There are a lot of souvenirs in the departure area.
It is convenient that there are communication salons, a couple of exchangers and a pharmacy in the arrival area.
The most worthy thing is that prices do not break, everything is very affordable.
It's just the worst air harbor I've ever seen. Check-in counters are closed at any time, if there is a huge queue in it - get ready to fight with the next queue for the right to be the first. The traffic of people is not organized normally, employees do not care about passengers and their comfort. As a result, in normal airports, international check-in takes half an hour, get ready to stand here for 1.5 hours
Good day to all. I've been to quite a few airports in the world, and I'm not picky. This airport is certainly not a benchmark for international service, but it is not completely bad either. I read negative reviews-some of them are not about anything. you need to write a review about the airport terminal and not from someone who took away a bottle of beer or oil at the control. There are specific rules and conditions for the carriage of baggage and hand luggage, this is directly related to flight safety. Many people do not know that it is forbidden to carry liquid oil, washing powder and chemicals in their luggage. But no, they definitely need to bring more than 1 liter of cottonseed oil from Moscow or Tashkent.
As for taxi drivers, I'm silent, they are on the market 20 years ago, the same was in Moscow. Thank Yandex and Uber, They saved us. I like the airport building itself, it's solid. but unfortunately, time and negligent attitude to property ruin everything.
I like the ground handling. I was there 8 times. More than once the luggage was not damaged, there were no flight delays due to maintenance, and even flew out in heavy snow. This is an indicator. The runway was clean. I don't know how, but it's important for me to fly out and land safely. At airports, I try not to eat at all, just water and hot drinks. The duty Free there is small, it is normal relative to such a port. The port itself is small. You can't fit a dutik there like in Dubai or Sheremetyevo Moscow.
The airport is small, there are disadvantages, if you arrived in advance, we do not have a restaurant at the airport that would prepare dishes upon order, this is before passing the sanitary zone, after we did not look. There is a smoking area for smokers
A normal airport, I fly through Manas very often.Small but comfortable, the choice of cafes and shops is modest.Taxi drivers are terribly annoying at the exit.There is a decent cafe at the exit, low prices, a good menu. I recommend a business lounge for waiting for departure if you arrived with a reserve, it's a bit boring in the common room.
Clean and comfortable, there are cafes on the second floor where you can have a relatively inexpensive snack and drink coffee.
There is an opportunity to wash your feet in the toilet, it is important for Muslims, for others it is just nice.
A good airport, everything is there, and WiFi, and currency fraud and cafes. The toilets are normal. And you can buy an STM card. Taxi drivers are not annoying.
Very unpleasant uncomfortable inspection. I put all my carry-on bags in one large container for convenience, buried my phone, watch and headphones under them so that I could quickly get them out, put my raincoat on top carefully, I approach the tape, they tell me that the containers are only for clothes, they force all the bags to be pulled out and sent to the tape separately... And ONLY AFTER THAT they report that the shoes, it turns out, need to be removed, for this you first need to go for a container, put on shoe covers, do a million more manipulations, and in the meantime my bags have already left on the other side of the frame, there is already a lady uncultivating my raincoat with a metal detector WITHOUT ME, shaking it WITHOUT ME, Some other passengers are hanging around my things, and I'm still taking off my shoes. You can, please, immediately warn what actions need to be done to pass through the frame, and do not touch other people's things without the presence of the owner. The fact that you are an airport employee should not deprive the owner of things of control over them. No need to touch and move my phone in my things without my permission, no need to shake my raincoat when I'm not around, how do you know how much there is in my pockets and when it may fall out. The edge of brusqueness.
I have been using this airport for 27 years. All stages of reconstruction took place before my eyes, including the American air base.
Something is changing for the better, except for taxi drivers. Even the counter, which appears to be an official taxi, cannot send passengers by bank transfer. Is it really so difficult to restore order in the main aviation factory of the state?
Today it was -23 on the street. In the airport building, you could only stay in a buttoned-up down jacket.
On the positive side: the work of registrars, security guards, border guards does not cause any complaints. There are quite a lot of cafes and shops.
But a taxi...
A good compact airport. Everything is fine done. Clean and cozy. You can have a snack and drink coffee. Buy SIM cards before going out, prices are like in the city. Taxi drivers are a bit annoying, but kind and funny! Overall, I am satisfied.
There was a second time, the first thirty years ago, then it seemed huge, but now it seems like a terminal In Tolmachevo. In dutik, goods are also sold to citizens of the EAEU. I hope to visit again. To Lieutenant General K. K. Tashiev, big greetings
A good airport. There is a very large smoking room for departing international flights with a view of the runway. Excellent employees. Everything is perfectly organized.
An ordinary airport of medium size. He performs his tasks well. By the way, if you have a flight, go to the airport through the arrival area - there are no queues, as happens on the floor of the departure area.
A good store, the assortment is not bad, the sellers are polite, smiling, they will come right away if you call and help with the choice. Clean and cozy. It is a pleasure to visit while waiting for a flight.

Domes of honey with sea buckthorn in duty free. It's magical! And the national silver jewelry is very interesting. In general, it has its own colorful atmosphere.
The navigation is correct, the airport is well maintained, the staff is polite... Taxi drivers are obsessive, but cultured.
The exchange rate is better on the second floor :)
A good airport, small but clean and convenient, there are no traffic jams, it is easy to call a taxi, it is clear where to go. Everything is good and comfortable.
Probably the most meticulous inspection among the CIS countries.
At other airports, he carried water with him and deodorants in his hand luggage
Someone is bothered by such a search, it's right for me. Do you understand that you are completely safe
