Odesa International Airport is located approximately 10 km from centre.
For domestic arrivals, the shuttle bus picks you up from the plane and dumps you by a steel gate next to the main terminal where a gauntlet of underhanded taxi drivers awaits. For international arrivals and departures and domestic departures proceed to the main terminal. There are two currency exchange booths, an ATM, airline representatives, a café and an information booth (deserted both times we were there) in the terminal’s main hall. Toilets are located in the basement. Customs staff and many of the taxi drivers speak English.
The airport is small and unassuming, but if you happen to get confused or lost don’t hesitate to ask airport staff or one of the locals for assistance. Odesians have a tradition of service and are more open and jolly than citizens of other major ex-Soviet cities.
