Nizhny Novgorod International Airport

Nizhny Novgorod, Russia · Europe

Nizhny Novgorod's Chkalov airport is a compact single terminal with 24-hour lounges, free Wi-Fi and free long-stay parking, and a solid list of routes to the Caucasus, Central Asia, Turkey, Egypt and Belgrade. Drone-alert restrictions by Rosaviatsia make delays common, and public transport into the city is slow.
