Worst airport experience ever. If you don't know the local language, make sure you keep some small cash with you, as staff may ask for small payments. The airport feels disorganized, with very little guidance for new travelers. It was more like a local bus stand than an international airport. If you're visiting for the first time and don't speak the language, I would not recommend this airport.
