Chisinau Airport

Traveller Comments....

"the best way to get in and out of the airport without a major bother is to arrive at the airport about 30 minutes before your flight and give the costumes a 10$ bill" (?)

"the airport has been refurbished extensively,but they forgot to refurbish the staff." (.SCOTT)

Recent Review

by nebulouseye
The passport people wear old-styled Soviet military gear complete with ushankas. There are two money exchange bureaus with poor rates, but they will accept just about any currency. Only one of the 5-7 shops were open and it only sold wine. Even though announcements aren't made, the staff went out of their way to find an English or French-speaking staff to help out when asked. The airport wasn't busy - not many flights go through Chisinau - checking in was fast and easy, and English-speaking airport staff were happy to chat with foreigners as so few tourists go to Moldova. This was a plus as the airport is tiny with nothing to do except smoke at the bar and watch mechanics fix up Aeroflot planes.
