Lviv Airport

Traveller Comments....

"Toilet paper is generously given by the friendly old lady on the premises. Although not on par with western standards" (Andrew)

"custom inspector - without $10-50 impossible to pass custom - they will come up with some new unwritten law to hold you until you make $$$ contribution." (Vladimir)

"I was never offered an opportunity to make a "charitable" donation and even have had the customs people help me fill out my forms - for free." (Peter D)

"When I refused to "contribute to their favorite charity", and proceeded to argue with the shift manager for about 20 minutes, I was told that "we'd meet again some day", and that she'd remember me." (Rob K)

"I arrived in lviv airport with my family for a 4 day holiday. The whole experience was very stressful. we thankfully did not have to sleep in the airport and would strongly recommend to anyone not too!!
Firstly we had to complete immigration cards with little guidance, once completed we had to queue for passport control only to be sent to the back of the queue because we had filled them in wrong. We found the army presence very intimidating and they spoke no English. Once through passport control all the luggage from the flight was thrown on the floor. Two of our bags were missing. It took another two hours of queuing and trying to find someone who knew what we should do. We approached by a number of people wanting to 'carry our bags' and sell us health insurance during this time. We we also told by people in the queues that are baggage was most likely stolen or hidden so that we would have to offer for its safe return.
This didn't happen thankfully, and are bags were delivered to our hotel a day later.
Upon departure the airport again was very chaotic. No queuing system, in fact we had to push our way through a number of people saying goodbye to relatives. The security system was shockingly bad. Bags we pilling up and there was no proper screening. It was very difficult to keep and eye on your bag. i noticed a lady with a child struggling with her bags and there was no help offered or trolleys available. The waiting area had no flight information or announcements. We sat patiently until 5 minutes before the flight departure until a woman came into the crammed room and told us our flight was here. it was then a mad rush to get onto the plane in time. The toilets in the waiting area were poor and unsanitary. There were no refreshments available of customer service.
All in all it was a stressful experience. Major improvements are required to this airport if lviv wants to attract more tourists in the future. Its a shame because lviv is such a beautiful place and I suspect the airport puts a lot of people off coming again. "
