As a person,who has lived in Ekaterinburg all my life, I can describe my native airport in details.
The new terminal for international flights was opened in 2006, so it became much better than previous little hangar..In 2007, the new domestic terminal was built next to international terminal and you can find these two buildings in one piece. There are 2 entry into the terminal, but you can shuttle easily between them...
You have to show your passport on the entry to police officer, but it's common for Russia.Terminal is opened 24hour.There is not a lot a passengers on the second floor, where you can sleep on hard seats....
Security level is good, so,you haven't to care about your luggage, but try don't forget about, beacuse there are some passengers from/to former Soviet countries(Uzbekistan,Tadjikistan) can look for it :-)
Big problem for airport is transportation.
Non-official taxi drivers are angry and will try cheat you. Try to use taxi - "SPAS"(Cnac) - black limo with yellow squares.or just talk with taxi manager on the 1st floor.
There is no good public transport there to city - it's just local bus number 1 to Railway station - but it's always overcrowded.
Anyway, the airport is growing fast,and new terminals are building at the moment.
It's light and clean.
I was in some foreign airports and can say that will not be the worst point of your destination.

The last review for this airport was in 2008. Have you been there recently? Tell us about it!
