My review concerns the work of border control. The airport itself is not bad, an updated standard Soviet regional center airport, has everything you need to wait, works around the clock. But we (a family with a disabled child) were not allowed across the border for no reason, but in fact - because we only have Russian passports (although Moldova still has a visa-free regime with Russia) and because elections and a referendum on EU membership are in the country in a few days. We had a lot of documents confirming the purpose of the visit (meeting with relatives from another country at the only logistics and visa-accessible point), but we were refused entry and told that we had to wait for a free flight back in a sterile area for almost three days. At the same time, our passports were taken away, which is generally unacceptable and is a violation of all conceivable laws. We had to buy tickets for a lot of money at our own expense to fly wherever we could. Thus, we spent a huge amount of money, time and nerves, only to experience enormous stress, despite the fact that we did not commit any illegal actions, and experienced just reference discrimination against ourselves on the basis of nationality, which we never encountered anywhere else. Another 20 or 30 people who arrived on evening flights found themselves in the same situation. We have been to about 70 countries, including at the moments of elections and varying degrees of severity of political unrest in some of them, and for the only time in our lives we have encountered such a game. The only country in the world that I will have exceptionally bad memories of is Moldova, and I will never set foot there again. It is unclear what the security forces want. To worsen the attitude towards the country of those who had previously treated it quite friendly and neutral? Scare away those who would like to spend money in Moldova? In that case, they succeeded.

Compact airport, quick check-in and controls, departure and arrival in up to 30 minutes. Good duty-free service, you can buy good souvenirs (alcohol, sweets). The only wish is to add a recreation area, now there is one cafe - there is always a queue and the tables are occupied
