Karpaty Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Kyiv Zhulyany a piece of pish. Helps that's basically no one here. Hopefully Gdansk airport is similar and is only one terminal for arrivals/departures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karpaty Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Love these tiny wee airports. Might chance Legoland though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geronimo Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Recently had a massive argument with some Edinburgh mates about this. They insist Edi Airport is the best in Scotland. Fkn raging 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S7C Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Went through Edinburgh last month and it was a shambles. The "queues" were spilling out past the checkout gates and on the way back going through customs there were queues coming from every direction. No organisation whatsoever. Best airports are Hong Kong, Kansai, Singapore and Vancouver. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
git-intae-thum Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Edinburgh has always been ok. Prestwick has always been fine. Glasgow has always been a bit pish. Big ques at security. In Scotland we are lucky. Worst of the lot is JFK. F.ckin shambles of an airport. Total scrum at security. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doulikefish Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Been through Edinburgh twice in the last few days with no hassle and one of them was the early flight down to city airport which is normally the "chaos" hours 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tout P'ti FC Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 The only issue I've had in there recently was when the big airside Costa was doing that bacon roll for a quid promotion and perhaps 95% of the customers were buying. Folk were getting right stressed out about who had the next bacon roll coming out the oven.Not been in during their current Crumpet for a quid offering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakebite Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) I flew from Edinburgh to Cork on a Saturday a couple of months back, and this was before the peak summer stuff was just starting, and I spent nearly 40 minutes going through security. God knows what it would be like now in July. The airport's passenger numbers and routes list keeps growing, but they are not improving the infrastructure quick enough to keep up with it. Can't fling a cat in the place. Edited July 18, 2017 by Snakebite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 It's appalling. I flew out last Saturday and every single cafe, restaurant and bar in the airport was completely full and had a pretty large queue to get in. Coming back on Saturday night there, we were ushered into what seemed to be a new passport control/baggage hall down at the opposite side of the airport. The passport control was good, far more scanners and desks than present but the baggage hall was one big belt for four flights. An absolute rammy, and there were three female and two male toilet cubicles for circa 500 people coming off flights. Assuming it's temporary as it's not fit for purpose - much like the airport in general. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68blues Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I'm from Fife, 25 minutes from Edinburgh airport, 1 hour 15 minutes from Glasgow. Give me Glasgow everytime. I spend more time getting frisked in Edinburgh than it takes to go through the entire security procedure in Glasgow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 It's weird how security can be so different in similarly sized airports. Birmingham's a breeze, friendly and efficient. Manchester's a sullen shithole that takes for ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I'm flying from Edinburgh again in December for my next trip to Mannheim. Air side is pretty basic. You've got places for food and drink but theres not a whole lot to do. Sure it's a lot smaller than the big hub airports but you'd expect there to be something more given the number of international carriers who use it as their Scottish route airport. Never had any issues with security in January. Things may have changed since then - obviously there were the news reports over the summer of big queues at European airports. I'm expecting a long queue at Frankfurt on the way home given I'll be flying back the week before Christmas. Not really expecting much hassle at Edinburgh. I'll take the hit in going a bit earlier to make sure that I've got time to cover any problems but thats just common sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Ahh, different country nevermind hotel London city the only London airport I've not done yet if we forget that Southend effort. London is a good airport to arrive at , but to have to sit to wait on an international flight it's intolerable. Far too small, people wandering about looking for seats to sit or eat at the many #two eating establishments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waspy Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Apparently Berlin Brandenburg will be opening October 2019. Berliners will hold a referendum on the 24th of September on whether Berlin Tegel should remain open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I flew back into Edinburgh on Monday and ended up in "International Arrivals 2", which is at the opposite end from (what is now) "International Arrivals 1", next to domestic arrivals. It basically looked like an old converted warehouse. Is there a plan to spruce this up into a permanent fixture? Because it was actually quite good to arrive at gate 19 and not have to get a bus for miles round to the other end. Getting through immigration was also a breeze. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
