Locals call the airport Knevichi after the nearby village, so if you’re asking for directions or booking a taxi, say Aeroport Knevichi or VVO rather than just Vladivostok airport to avoid confusion with the city.

The airport has its own railway station connected to the terminal, with Aeroexpress trains to Vladivostok station taking about 50 minutes. Bus 107 and taxis/Yandex Go are also available; taxis take 50–70 minutes depending on traffic. For early flights, allow extra time because road traffic on the Vladivostok–Artyom route can be heavy.
