We flew from this airport for the first time and, after reading the reviews, prepared for the worst. In fact, everything turned out to be not so bad. The navigation is quite clear. There are queues for ticket and baggage check-in, but I won't say that they are critical. The queue for pre-flight inspection is moving pretty fast.
The business hall was pleasantly surprised by both the assortment and the quality of food and drinks. The kitchen is located in the hall itself and is separated from the distribution area by a glass partition, if something is over, it is promptly prepared and updated. At the same time, there are no smells of the dining room.
I didn't like the way passport control was organized. He is not at the entrance to the clean zone, but at the exit (after duty free, restaurants and a business lounge, right in front of the gates). There's a queue there, too, and you can get in trouble when boarding begins. It seems to me that it would be wiser to go through all the formalities at once, and then calmly wait for departure
The airport is very good, there are a lot of places to eat, and it's very easy to navigate, but queues💀💀💀
At first, when we arrived from Istanbul, we stood in line at passport control for about an hour, but the woman who distributed everyone in queues with humor, that's for sure😂
But we stood back for about 30 minutes (this is just to pass the inspection of bags, backpacks, etc.)
