Terminal navigation guide

Terminal-change and gate-area notes pulled from the markdown guide.

From Terminals & Navigation

Street door is Terminal A (2012 glass hall). Departures and arrivals share that one building: check-in floor 1, holds floor 3. Operator capacity leftover 1,360 passengers per hour / leftover 3.5 million a year — 2025 already did 3.26 million, so treat 3.5 million as design, not 2025 traffic.
Terminal B is the pre-2012 hall. Operator homepage still rents 500–5,000 m² there. It is not a scheduled boarding door. Leftover 2006 renovation copy leftover-stale as a live domestic terminal.
Domestic hold: floor 3, right wing, gate 6 is the Laguna landmark. International hold: floor 3 after Duty Free, gate 3 is the Primorye landmark. There is no airside walk between the two holds for ordinary passengers.
Two live Knevichi runways, both 3,500 × 60 m, CAT II. Wikipedia leftover 06/24 (973 m) and 16/34 (602 m) are Lake Springs, not scheduled VVO pavement. Remote stands still use apron buses (operator 2025 bought two more).
Transfers: a sterile transfer zone has existed since February 2018. Through-check still depends on the airline — if the second boarding pass is not in hand, assume you will exit and re-screen. E-visa is not a Schengen workaround.

Ground transport guide

City-transfer, rideshare, train, and parking guidance from the markdown guide.

From Ground Transport & Parking

No metro. Airport rail is live. Station Кневичи sits on a skywalk from Terminal A. Express Primorya (not the 2012–2015 Aeroexpress brand) runs about 10 pairs a day. Ordinary car 185 ₽ from Vladivostok and 37 ₽ from Artyom from 1 Jan 2026; higher-comfort leftover 250–370 ₽. About 52 minutes. Tickets in RZD Passengers, machines, or on board. Last city-bound leftover around 18:48 — overnight arrivals still need a car.
Operator bus board (pay the carrier, not the airport): Artyom city bus 7 leftover from 40 ₽ / ~30 min, roughly 06:50–20:50. Vladivostok intercity 501 / 501A / 502 / 503 / 520 leftover from 378 ₽ / ~1 h 50 m to the bus station — sparse, not a clock-face airport shuttle. Leftover OpenTravel bus 107 leftover-stale vs the live 501-series list. Confirm on e-traffic.ru or the numbers on the operator how-to-get-there page.
