IZMIR AIRPORT review : 13 July 2009 by S Srinivasan
|
Customer Rating : 4/5 |  |
Small but efficient domestic airport. Large taxi stands are available in front of both exit
doors, and it's also easy to find the "Havas" shuttle bus or walk to the train station. Upon
arrival, security is quick and efficient, and I got from the check-in kiosk to the gate in
less than 10 minutes. The main downside to this airport is the lack of sitting space at the
gates; there simply isn't enough to hold a plane full of people. Since security for each 3-4
gates is segregated, it's not possible to walk down to another set to find a seat, either.
The bar/restaurant also looked overpriced.

Late night arrival from IST. Quick bag claim. Arrival hall clean and well signed. Duty free
shop available in bag claim if items needed. Collected hire car from in front of terminal -
though if required, undercover area in front of arrival hall has plenty of taxis waiting if
not pre-booked or using a hire car. On return, through security to access departure hall for
domestic flight. Few shops to choose from but note refreshments at cafes are expensive. Prompt
service from helpful staff at THY check-in desk. Further security check to access departure
gate. No delays, and a good facility, happy to recommend ADB airport.

The airport is clean. Staff at information desk speak only very limited English. Facilities
are quite limited, there is no left-luggage and other amenities such as restaurants close down
if there are no current flights, which makes this airport not such a good choice for transit
passengers.

First departure of the day out of ADB, so arrived at 0345. Easy directions around the airport if you
are driving in - very clear to follow which route. Dropped off hire car at the entrance (same
location for collecting taxis). NB: if returning a hire car and fuel is needed at this stage, the
first petrol station you come to off the O31 access road to the airport is open 24 hrs and is the
best one to use for filling the car. Straight through first security to dept hall. No queues in the
airport of course at that time at any point, other than couple of mins. waiting at check in for
flight itself. Airport very clean, nice and bright facility. Ample signage for directions around
airport. Cafe next to check in desks if wanted. Passport control prompt. Through to gate - further
small cafe for hot drink / snack. Duty free open - good prices on most items. Further security check
at gate, plenty of seats for waiting. Free papers if required- German/US/UK titles (for Lufthansa
flight). I must praise the check in staff who had a really nice approach to pax at that time of day,
and were friendly, efficient and a pleasure to meet. Passed through ADB at different times of the
day now, and an excellent facility and happy to recommend.

The new international terminal at Izmir opened in September 2006.
Arrivals, apart from a small delay in getting the jetway lined up was
smooth and efficient. The area prior to visa payment and passport
control is large and airy. Formalities took minutes. The baggage hall
is also spacious with an adequate duty free on arrival shop. Being the
only flight in, or due in, baggage delivery was very quick - althouth
the angled conveyors do move a bit too quickly for some and I saw
several people chasing high speed bags round the carousel!
Through passport control there is a bit meet and greet area leading to a
pick up and set down area with car parks opposite. Everything was
pretty much a straight line from plane to kerbside. Departures is
equally impressive. The check in area seemed to have about 50 desks
although quiet at 7pm on a Friday night with only two or three flights
checking in. Only British Airways has a single line check in system and
I can see it getting a bit chaotic for other airlines if things get
busy. Again very quick through passport control into a very spacious
departures area. being a new terminal facilities were limited to a huge
duty free shop (cheap), an 'english style' pub that is fairly expensive
at 20YTL (£7.70) for a sandwich and coke, a Burger King on the mezzanine
level (again expensive) and a small coffee area next to the BA Gate (you
guess £2.50 for a small coffee). All gates have separate lounges entered
after another security check - comfortable and adequate for B737/A320
size aircraft. All very modern, clean and efficient - a pleasure to fly
through

Not much of an airport, no jetways, just stairs and buses. The upside
of using it as an arrival point instead of Istanbul is that it is very
easy to go through customs / security. I've never had much of a wait.
The only direct service though is to/from Munich on Lufthansa, which
makes connecting on the way back to the states a impossible without an
overnight in Europe.

My husband is from Izmir so we use this airport on a regular basis to visit family
and friends. We have noticed the change in price over the last couple of years -
prices for a burger king meal are ridiculous - 18YTL for 1 meal. We bought 4 coffees
in the airport cafe which came to nearly 15 pounds. Anybody travelling through this
airport should be advised to eat before they get there or take some snacks.

Take your own food and drink. This is one of the most expensive airports I have ever been in. A
glass of Coke was 8.10TL (over 5 Euros). Very poor facilities
