quickFacts:
  - >-
    One live scheduled hall: Terminal A, opened for scheduled service 23 July
    2012 ahead of APEC. Wikipedia leftover “Terminal A international + Terminal
    B domestic” leftover-stale. Terminal B is the old hall, now rented as an
    exhibition/office block — not a scheduled door.
  - >-
    3,261,000 passengers in 2025 (operator 21 Jan 2026): 2,545,000 domestic and
    717,000 international (+60%). Headline vs 2024 is +10%. The two published
    splits add to 3,262,000, not 3,261,000 — do not invent a third bucket.
    Wikipedia leftover 2,971,000 is 2024.
  - >-
    In Artyom, about 44 km north of central Vladivostok (Wikipedia). No metro.
    Airport rail is live: Express Primorya suburban trains to station Кневичи,
    185 ₽ from Vladivostok from 1 Jan 2026, about 52 minutes. Leftover
    “Aeroexpress shut in 2015 with no replacement” leftover-wrong.
  - >-
    Airline desks typically close 40 minutes before departure (leftover operator
    page; aerovlad.ru does not publish a 2026 close time). Arrive 2 hours
    domestic / 3 hours international and confirm the carrier. Kiosks exist for
    Aeroflot Group leftover — still visit the desk with bags.
  - >-
    Named for Vladimir Arsenyev (2018 Great Names of Russia vote). ICAO UHWW.
    Two live Knevichi runways 07L/25R and 07R/25L, each 3,500 × 60 m, CAT II.
    Lake Springs / Ozernye Klyuchi next door is not a VVO passenger door.
    Elevation leftover 14 m / 46 ft.
  - >-
    Official taxi is Yandex Go. Uber is unavailable in Russia. Bolt is not a
    live Vladivostok product even if a Europe-region app still paints a Bolt
    tile. Unified e-visa covers 64 countries; UK/US/CA/AU/NZ still need a
    consular visa.
bentoTips:
  - label: Timing
    title: >-
      Arrive 2 hours domestic / 3 hours international — leftover 40-minute desk
      close
    detail: >-
      The airline decides whether a late passenger still flies. Fast Track is
      booked as “individual accompaniment” at vip.aerovlad.ru — live till
      unpublished this pass, do not invent a ₽ figure. Kiosks leftover for
      Aeroflot / Rossiya / Aurora; bags still need a desk.
    summary: >-
      aerovlad.ru does not publish a 2026 registration close. Leftover operator
      copy and typical Aeroflot Group practice is desks die 40 minutes before
      the ticketed departure.

      Check-in is floor 1. Holds are floor 3 (Laguna domestic by gate 6;
      Primorye international by gate 3 after Duty Free). Leftover
      Sleeping-in-Airports “A international / B domestic” leftover-wrong. Do not
      follow a taxi pin to Ozernye Klyuchi / Lake Springs.
    summary: >-
      All scheduled flights use the 2012 Terminal A. Domestic and international
      split after screening inside that one building. Terminal B is rental

      with Laguna’s own 3,800 — sit with each page. Grey Wall leftover 2,900

      on Priority Pass in the app. Persona: Primorye is closed to the Tashkent
      flight.

      Bangkok was listed to resume 22 September 2026 — confirm FIDS. Apply for
      the unified e-visa only at electronic-visa.kdmid.ru. UK/US/CA/AU/NZ still

    summary: >-
      Scheduled passenger flights to the EU, UK and US remain suspended. 2025

# Vladivostok International Airport (VVO)
Vladivostok, Russia · Europe
One 2012 Terminal A, a live 185 ₽ Express Primorya train, and two 24/7 walk-in lounges with showers — offset by unpublished bottle prices, leftover two-terminal maps, and still-frozen EU/UK/US metal.

## At a glance

- Passengers: 3,261,000 (2025)
- Terminals: 1
- Typical security: 25 min
- On-time: 0%
- Disruption: moderate

## Best for

- China and other Asia connections from the Russian Far East
- A 24/7 walk-in lounge with showers at 3,800–3,900 ₽
- Rail instead of the 1 h 50 m intercity bus
- A single scheduled hall with a short walk from kerb to desk

## Watch out for

- Leftover Terminal A international / Terminal B domestic maps — Terminal B is rental space
- Ozernye Klyuchi / Lake Springs next door is not a VVO passenger door
- The floor-1 VIP side door is 23,000 ₽ — Laguna and Primorye are the walk-ins
- EU/UK/US metal is still down; UK/US/CA/AU/NZ still need a consular visa
