CARCASSONNE AIRPORT review : 18 October 2008 : by Neil Walker

Customer Rating : 3/5 |  |
Don't expect too much of this little airport but it is friendly and the departures lounge has
expanded recently. At one time the only facilities were the toilets once you were through the
security but now there is a vending machine for soft drinks and chocolate, etc. The restaurant
(upstairs) has a good menu and they are fully aware of the flight times so you don't have to wait
for hours for your meal. There is one small shop (outside the security check area) which doesn't
help if you want to take those items through with you that are ordinarily banned. The security
staff also apply an interesting interpretation on what is dangerous: we had a travel iron
confiscated from our hand luggage as it could be used as a blunt instrument. On the way back we
could have bought one at Stansted - presumably traveling from the UK we weren't likely to brain
anyone with it.

This airport is in need of some investment as the current building is
barely adequate for a full 737-800 load of passengers. On arrival you
will almost certainly have to queue outside to squeeze into the arrivals
hall. Your bags should not take too long to arrive, however. We departed
on the 09:40 Ryanair flight to Stansted, arriving at the airport two
hours prior to departure as recommended. The airport was closed! The
very nice restaurant upstairs is worth a visit after checking in - don't
expect any facilities at all once you have passed through security. Our
flight was only half full so there was plenty of room at the gate. A
full aircraft would have made the place very crowded. I don't kow how
they would cope with two flights departing at the same time.

Suffering under the strain of extra Ryanair flights, the current
extension works mean a marquee now covers departures. There is a tiny
baggage carrousel which is woefully inadequate for 189 people arriving
on a Ryanair 737-800. Hopefully when the works are completed they'll
have created enough room for growth. Shuttle Bus to town (Stops at SNCF
Station and 'Cite Medieval') for 5 EURO each way takes 10 to 20 minutes
into town.

Great little airport, clean well sign posted and accessible. There is no duty free but it does have
a small shop selling local produce. On the upper level is a lovely restaurant and next to that a
cafe/bar over looking the one runway. It's my favourite airport because it's so simple to use.

Small airport. Don't bother arriving too early for your flight as the shops don't open when the
booking desks do, 2 hours before the flight leaves. Absolutely nothing except toilets after
customs.
