    What to do if your flight is canceled

    If a flight is canceled more than 24 hours before departure, passengers will be transferred to similar airline flights. The costs are borne by the carrier; the service is free for the passenger. If you are not satisfied with any of the options offered by the airline, most airlines can issue an “involuntary return.” Once confirmed by the airline, the money will be returned to your account. Sometimes this can take several weeks.

    How to check in at the airport

    Online check-in is available on most airline websites. Most often it opens 23 hours before the start of the flight. You can go through it no later than 1 hour before the plane departs.

    To check in at the airport you will need:

    • identification document specified in the order,
    • birth certificate when flying with children,
    • printed itinerary receipt (optional).

  • What can you take on a plane?

    Carry-on luggage is the items you will take with you into the cabin. The weight limit for hand luggage can vary from 5 to 10 kg, and its size most often should not exceed the sum of three dimensions (length, width and height) from 115 to 203 cm (depending on the airline). A handbag is not considered hand luggage and is carried freely.

    The bag you take with you on the plane should not contain knives, scissors, medicines, aerosols, or cosmetics. Alcohol from duty free stores can only be transported in sealed bags.

    How to pay for luggage at the airport

    If the weight of luggage exceeds the standards established by the airline (most often 20-23 kg), you need to pay for each kilogram of excess. In addition, many Russian and foreign airlines, as well as low-cost airlines, have tariffs that do not include free baggage allowance and must be paid separately as an additional service.

    In this case, luggage must be checked in at the airport at a separate Drop-off check-in counter. If you are unable to print your boarding pass, you can obtain one at the airline's regular check-in counter, and check-in and check-in your luggage there.

    Where to find out the arrival time if you are a greeter

    You can find out the plane's arrival time on the airport's online board. The Tutu.ru website has an online display of the main Russian and foreign airports.

    You can find out the exit number (gate) on the arrivals board at the airport. This number is located next to the incoming flight information.

  • Address: Russia, Iturup Island

I like:

Iturup Yasny Airport is a regional airport, which is located 8 km from the city of Kurilsk and is located on Iturup Island, Far East. Itupur is one of the two airports on the island. The second of them, Burevestnik, is located far from populated areas and is therefore less convenient for use. In addition, due to its unfortunate location, it often ends up in the fog zone, and therefore is closed for a long time.

It is noteworthy that Iturup Yasny Airport became the first aviation enterprise that was built on the territory of Russia in its post-Soviet period from the very foundation. The airport was equipped in full compliance with all technological requirements, and therefore almost immediately received international status. The first plane landed on its runway on September 17, 2014. From this time his active work began.

The name Yasny was assigned to the airport at the end of 2014 based on the results of a competition held among residents of the Sakhalin region.

How to get there

Iturup Yasny Airport is located in close proximity to the city of Kurilsk, as well as the villages of Reidovo and Kitovoe. From any of these settlements you can get to the airport by taxi. In addition, a bus, allocated by the regional government specifically to serve this route, runs regularly from Kurilsk.

Infrastructure

Since Iturup Airport was opened quite recently, its infrastructure is not at all large, however, it is developing quite quickly.

Thus, at the airport you can find various shopping kiosks and shops, restaurants, ATMs, as well as luggage storage. There is no hotel inside the airport yet, and therefore passengers can only use hotel complexes located in Kurilsk.

Having visited the Kuril Islands, I can honestly say that there are problems with the transport network there. And you can only get to this easternmost part of Russia by water or air. Of course, I preferred the plane.

Which airport on the Kuril Islands is better?

The main and largest airport in the Kuril Islands is the fairly new airport on Iturup Island, which is called “Iturup Yasny” Airport and has the status of an international airport. This is where my path lay.

Air traffic at Iturup Airport is modest; it sends and receives only two flights: to Khabarovsk by Yakutia Airlines and to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk by Aurora. There is no direct flight between Moscow and Iturup; I flew through Khabarovsk.

The infrastructure of Iturup Airport is still developing, and now on its territory there are only:

  • cafe;
  • ATM;
  • shop;
  • luggage storage rooms.

Iturup Yasny Airport is located 8 km from the urban village of Kurilsk. And the only connections between the airport and the village center are taxis and bus No. 515, which runs along the route Airport - Goryachiye Klyuchi.


Which other Kuril Islands have an airport?

The oldest airport in the Kuril Islands is the Kunashir Island Airport, located 15 km southwest of the urban village of Yuzhno-Kurilsk and called Mendeleevo Airport. This airport has received the status of a regional aviation hub and receives and sends the only flight to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk of the Aurora company.

Unfortunately, there is no bus service connecting the airport and Yuzhno-Kurilsk, so the only way to get to the village is by taxi.


Is there another airport on the Kuril Islands

There is another air harbor on Iturup Island, this is a joint airfield, called “Burevestnik” and is also used as a civil airport. Of course, I didn’t use this airport. Local residents told me about its existence.

Burevestnik Airport is the smallest airport in the Kuril Islands and accepts only private charter flights. Burevestnik is located in the eastern part of Iturup, 6 km from the village of Gorny.


Although I have only been to one airport in the Kuril Islands, I can already say from this that the islands’ airports are difficult to compare with the airports of large Russian cities. They are modest and small, because they are not used so often and are located in a seismic zone, but the airports have the minimum necessary infrastructure.

Iturup Yasny Airport is a regional airport, which is located 8 km from the city of Kurilsk and is located on Iturup Island, Far East.
