	BASEL MULHOUSE AIRPORT customer review :  15 March 2013 by Ruben Gollin    (Switzerland)
	Rating : 9/10 Queuing Cleanliness Facilities Recommended	Its not such a big airport and not so busy. I fly every year from Basel to Venice in autumn with easyJet and its always good. The security check is very fast. The terminal is very clean and the seat options are big. The best in the terminal is the Lounge, its one of the best lounge worldwide and the architecture is great.

	Rating : 3/10 Queuing Cleanliness Facilities Recommended	Most disappointing airport in Europe I have used. Despite it being quite busy there were only two lines for security so this took us an age to get through. However the biggest disappointment was the lack of facilities after security (we were in gates 22-32). After passport control on the part of the airport we were in there were no shops, and just one very expensive place selling a small selection of food. At the very minimum I would expect a couple of shops including somewhere to but a drink at a soft drink at a reasonable price (there were vending machines and that was it)!

	Rating : 5/10 Queuing Cleanliness Facilities Recommended	Beware the surly Swissport employees who are not so nice and usually not so helpful. I travel to and from this airport frequently and have never had a nice encounter with a Swissport employee. Furthermore, at times, the security check for BSL can be incredibly long and slow. If there is a line, be prepared to wait up to 30 minutes. For such a small airport, it seems counter intuitive to have such long queues for security.

	Rating : 2/10 Queuing Cleanliness Facilities Recommended	Using Basel airport with British Airways. The airport is situated in France and run by French staff, most of which are impolite or not bothered to say the least, do not speak any foreign language (i.e. German or English - bearing in mind that they work on the Swiss side of the airport and should at least have some rudimentary understanding that they may have to converse in German at Basel or the lingua franca, which is English and not French) and have a 'cannot do' attitude to customers. The security staff simply do not understand that BA's Club Europe is Business Class and try to refuse entry to fast track. This is even more surprising given that only Turkish Airlines, Swiss, Lufthansa, Air France and BA operate from and to Basel as proper international airlines and surely it cannot be that hard to learn their business class products. This has been happening for the last three - four months now. The airport facilities are extremely poor. The duty free shopping offers prices anyone can get on the high street and the food & beverage facilities are not clean, extremely expensive for what they offer and offer very limited choice. The public toilets are dirty beyond belief.

	Rating : 9/10 Queuing Cleanliness Facilities Recommended	Basel is a compact airport where you don't get lost or have to walk for miles to the departure gate. Luggage is delivered quickly. Hire cars are available close to the terminal. The trip to Basel city can take as little as 15 minutes by taxi or a bit longer by public bus.

Small compact airport run in a lazy manner. At busy times its not unusual to wait 45 minutes or more to check-in at the Swiss desks due to limited staff. There is almost no use of jet ways (despite there being plenty on the apron) and anyone with walking difficulties will be frustrated by the poor gate design which fails to consider access (lots of stairs) and the attitude of indifferent staff who meet requests for assistance with shrugged shoulders. There is an extremely limited choice of duty free shops and cafe's in the airport. Getting to and from the airport is via the number 50 bus which runs at regular intervals to the city, or by taxi which are among the most expensive in the world - more than double the rates of London cabs.

Basel-Mulhouse is a pleasant and convenient airport. Luggage delivery usually quick. Baggage claim area has two distinct exits - to France and to Switzerland. On the Swiss side very helpful and friendly public transportation desk. Bus line 50 connects the airport to Basel central station every 10 mins - reliable service at CHF5.80 one-way, travel time around 20 mins. On the French side more limited service - no direct connection to Mulhouse: a shuttle bus brings you first to Saint-Louis railway station, from there you can catch a regional train to Mulhouse. Upon departure check-in at the self-service machines hassle-free. No queue at security, but staff prefers speaking French than English. In the public area large terrace with nice views on the apron. The restaurant on the Swiss side is truly delicious with decent prices; but I would rather avoid the bistro on the French side - gloomy with only basic food. Boarding gates are lacking proper airconditioning, so that it can quickly become very warm there. French domestic flights are cheaper when entering MLH Mulhouse as destination - on the opposite international flights are cheaper with BSL Basel as destination.

Looks/feels like an oversized airport & if you're in hurry not so fine to see advertisement or something like that on the flight info screens. Transfer here is absolute very easy if you already know your way. A very clean airport with a lots of well-priced shop & nice cafes. Take a try instead of Zurich here if you don't like crowded ones. Well worth.

Excellent airport although it seems rather under-utilised (or unnecessarily big if you prefer). Arrival with LH was easy and pleasant with quick baggage and laid-back passport control. Departing a few days later with BA was the same although I wouldn't fancy going through security if the airport was very busy - few channels and slightly officious French staff with little or no English. Maybe we were just unlucky. Anyhow it was no more than a small blip on an otherwise good experience.

I have used four times now. A most excellent airport. Do take care to know if you want France or Swiss areas! Cheap transport to Basel every 20 min costs 3.80 CHF, on bus No 50. Get ticket at baggage reclaim, or machine outside at bus stop if you have swiss coins .A swiss taxi costs about £25! Then catch a number 30 bus every 71/2 min to Basel Bad (Germany),and buy a "day rover" lander ticket which will take up to five people after 09:00 anywhere in Baden Wuttermburg. Easyjet check in painless and quick .security quick and polite. Waiting facilities excellent, air conditioned reasonably priced food, clean toilets.

Short ways, quick check-in but horrible, inefficient security checks. Long queues were the result in the early morning hours of this Saturday. Obviously, the authorities didn't expect that many people which is strange to me since the schedules of the airlines are no secret.

This is small, a modern airport that is easy to get to and through. On arrival from Liverpool we were off the plane within one or two minutes of the plane coming to a halt. Similar efficiency on the way back. Very quiet today (a Sunday) with many of the shops and catering facilities shut. Check-in was fast and painless thanks to EasyJet's new (to me at least) arrangement of checking in all flights at all counters (in other words, join any queue). Duty Free shops are plentiful and well stocked!

For it's small size, a difficult airport to navigate due to the EU / non-EU (Swiss) division. Arrived and exited through French side for Germany bus; no Forex counter, so had to re-enter Baggage Claim "unofficially" to get Forex, since the only Forex counter upon arrival is in Baggage Claim. Exiting baggage claim caused a problem since the "computer" showed my passport as having been scanned a few minutes back. Upon departure, entered on French side (came from Germany), had to exit France and enter Switzerland because British Airways check-in counter is *only* on the Swiss side. After check-in, had to exit Switzerland and enter France since BA gate is on the French side. And yes, my US passport is scrutizined and scanned for each of these exits and entries. In the gate area upstairs, there is an interesting collection of "beach sands of the world". About fifty or so, each specimen is on a saucer, the whole thing looks like someone's private hobby. Fun nonetheless. P.S. There is no "smoking area" by the French gates, but there is one by the Swiss gates; however you cannot cross to the Swiss side from the gate area.

A little, almost tiny airport, bordering on cosy, yet quite modern and unassuming. Access via bus and individual car parking are both very convenient. French and Swiss sections are strictly divided and policed (it's a EU-nonEU border after all). All the ways are very short, and the small bar was decent (sandwiches above average). The airport is situated very conveniently, but could use more traffic.

I have used this airport 3 times over the past few months and found it to be a very pleasant experience on all occasions. Staff spoke good english, everywhere is clearly signposted. Facilities are also good, and baggage reclaim is efficient - just have to make sure you choose the right door on exiting or you might end up in Switzerland when you want to be in France or vice versa!

It is a sad fact of modern economics that after having spent a fortune upgrading the capacity and facilities of BSL (Euroairport) that Swiss has decided to leave the airport from the end of March 2004, leaving many slots to the UK and within Europe unused, and with no obvious competitor waiting in the wings to pass them on. There are very few scheduled airlines using the airport and it seems that the main users will be holiday charters and freight. What a pity - if only one could bring back Crossair (or a new 'post-Swiss takeover' reincarnation), which was an airline with honest fares, a reliable fleet run by efficient and caring crew, and well- used and appreciated by the flying public.
