Latest airport reviews
The recommended taxi fare from Odessa airport to Cathedral Square is 70UAH - 140UAH. That might seem like an oddly large gap, but let me tell you of my experience. My wife and I were the only two people in need of a taxi on this day in early May, 2019. There were two passengers, maybe 10 taxis. The best price that was offered was 400UAH. We went to the “official” taxi counter and got the ridiculous rate of 1,200UAH. This was a clear and flagrant attempt at organized theft - at least 15 times more than the going rate. What you, as a passenger should do is walk 5 - 10 minutes to the street and hail a taxi that way. There’s a big difference between 70UAH and 1,200UAH. The ride from the airport to the Cathedral Square is approximately five kilometres and takes about 15 minutes. The Odessa Airport Authority should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this type of theft to occur.
September 2018.
They have finally started to I think longer runways and repaving present rough surfaces.
The New terminal on your right as you approach by bus or taxi, is for arrivals with passport control and customs officers. The new terminal finally has permanent kiosks for money exchange(do not change big sums there) you get better rate at banks and street money change booths all over the city or ATM(bahnkomats).
The old terminal is directly in front of you at round about.
Do not expect to see your airline or flight info if you arrive prior to 2 hours before flight since all airlines use same tv screens.
At almost exactly 2 hours magically your flight details pop up on TV screens.
If you so choose you can go to left of checkin counters go through security/passport control/ customs into waiting area. There is a bar/cafe for lite food and drinks. Bathrooms and small duty free shop. There are two door(gates) make sure(unlike me) you are ready to go. One flight I had they came looking for me as they decided to leave early. I got a bus all to myself along with my red face from being "that passrnger"!
I think Ukrainian government is realizing tourism to black sea from tourists all over the world is going to be their saving grace. Only 1% of Ukraines GNP comes from tourism, while western Europe has 15% from tourism.
Although departure terminal is old, the agents, security and customs process passengers fairly quickly. Good job Odesa!
My rating is only based on airport facility not workers there!
The workers get 5 stars for dealing with old facility in Departure area.
Arrivals is pretty modern facility.
