Airport is fine, the problem is getting from the airport into Kazan. The taxi situation is dire, There is little indication as to the train times in the airport and it needs to be better signposted. Most foreign visitors just get overcharged by some taxi louts that hassle at the doorway, it really gives Russia and especially Kazan a bad image.
