"over the past 12 Months there has been a Massive improvement in this Airport, I hate to think what it used to be like, Years Ago." (Steve)
"I just wanted to tell Malcolm from England that if he hasn't seen stray dogs in Kiev then it's because he hasn't actually left his hotel room or the airport." (Paul)
"I found a window ledge to lay on by a heater, and was able to get a little sleep." (Ben)
"announcements were so loud, I turned my headphones up all the way and could STILL make out every word they said. " (?)
"don't listen to the announcements. They are incorrect very often." (Jacek)
"And please be careful of policemen. They don't speak foreign languages except of Ukrainian and really cannot believe you could come to the Ukraine as a tourist." (Jacek)
"By far the most abysmal airports I have seen are in Russia/Ukraine is the airport in Kiev ,,,,no lights,,,, looks like a prison" (Michael Dempsey)
"no fewer than four Customs "officials" tried for bribes while I outprocessed the airport. I feigned ignorance at their requests, smiled and pointed to my visa. That finally was annoying enough for me to get through." (?)
"The best thing about Simferopol Airport is walking across the tarmac on the way out." (?)
