Sochi International Airport Mini Guide
Who Flies to Sochi International Airport?
At the moment it’s almost exclusively Russian tourists from the big cities, especially Moscow. Very few Western Europeans visit the resort which is a shame as it’s beautiful and one of the better resorts on the Black Sea.
How do I get to Sochi International Airport?
You’ll have a little trouble getting to Sochi International Airport as most of the airports that serve it are in Russia or the former eastern bloc countries. Your best bet is to fly into Moscow or
St Petersburg from the
UK and get a connecting flight from there. Once at the airport, the hotels of the resort are easily reached with a hire car which you can use afterwards to get to the mountains that overlook the city.
What is the Airport Like?
The airport has a relatively new terminal complex which was completed in 2007 but which is already being superseded by a new terminal complex due to open before the Winter Olympics in 2014. Facilities at the airport are adequate if not spectacular – bear in mind that it has serviced mainly Russian tourists now for many years. The restaurants and shops are all biased towards the regular customers and so may not appeal to international travellers but all that will change when the new terminal opens with more international shops and restaurants. Internet access is available at the airport for a small charge and there is plenty of parking for those that wish to leave a car at the airport.
Latest Update from Sochi Airport:
03/06/12 - Many new routes begin operating to Domodedovo this summer from around Europe continuing to increase passenger numbers at the airport. Concourse extensions are being prepared to cope with the increased footfall and should come online later this year and in 2013.
