## Insider tips

- _Insider_: Consider the minibus, stationed near arrivals, to reach Anapa economically if luggage is not a burden. Service runs from 08:30 to 19:30.
- _Time_: For those traveling in peak season, lock in your flights early as the route to Saint Petersburg becomes competitive, especially from July to August.
- _Local_: While facilities include a nursery and family room, ask airport staff for directions as they're not always visible to non-Russian speakers.
- _Avoid_: Avoid relying on niche foreign cards; instead, withdraw rubles before arrival as some airport ATMs might not support your card.
- _Money_: Check app-based taxi fares upon landing to avoid inflated prices from curbside services.
- _Quiet_: Use quieter departure gates as a waiting area, especially during the busy summer season.
- _Avoid_: Don’t assume there are international shopping brands, bring essential electronics or snacks with you.
