ALGIERS AIRPORT review : 13 October 2009 : by M Fadjar

Customer Rating : 3/5

Algiers airport has improved a lot lately, especially the International section, and you have to give some credit to the authority for that. It is now up to adequate standard of other International airports, apart from long immigration line and numerous security checks (luckily they don't take much time per person). Handcrafts at the Duty Free are expensive, but from my experience, are of first quality that you do not easily find outside. Just beware that Ariival affair is always a hit and miss: if your plane arrives when there are no other queues ahead, then fine, but be prepared for a very chaotic and one hour long baggage collection if several flights arrive at the same time. Customs do not check suitcases, but will open anything else looking suspicious (boxes, cartons, tool kits etc).

Algiers new terminal is up to international standards. It offers many restaurants and facilities. Security controls are still strict but this is understandable considering what happened in this country few years ago. This new terminal is a big improvement compared to the previous one. Duty free prices are way too high though.

Inbound no hassles and after claiming baggage was out quickly. The airport is nice, clean, and much better than many I've been to. Outbound no real hassles just that there were 8 passport checks in all ! some of the people checking were standing only meters from each other not sure whats the point of so many checks but on the plus side they were courteous and quick. A few well stocked duty free shops didnt get to check the prices.
