CHAMBERY AIRPORT review : 13 January 2009 : by P Duquemin

Customer Rating : 1/5

Terribly congested airport especially ski resort changeover delays. Always delays as only limited capacity for airliners in landing, parking, weight restrictions etc. Cant find seats, no room to sit on floors, litter everywhere, toilets overflowing with urine, no proper information and facilities unable to cope. A usual Saturday experience according to our Crystal rep. This airport is a health and safety disaster. Travel companies should put pressure on Chambery authorities to expand and improve facilities. Until then use elsewhere - Grenoble, Lyons or Geneva or try other countries as it is a horrible experience.

Customer Rating : 3/5

Extremely congested during the arrival and departure of weekend ski flights. Neither the arrivals area nor the departures area are physically big enough to cater for the number of customers trying to get through. Very subject to weather delays: day before we arrived most flights were diverted to Grenoble. We were processed (!) efficiently in both directions, and will probably use the airport again due to the shorter transfer times to resorts than from GVA or LYS.

Small airport at the base of the French Alps, catering mainly for British skiing flights during the winter season. Facilities very limited; 4 check-in desks that don't necessarily have signs telling which flight they are checking in, cafe/lounge/viewing area land-side, small snack bar + duty free shop air-side, one baggage belt for arrivals. No problems for either of my flights (arrive Thursday lunchtime, depart Sunday lunchtime), but apparently the airport can get very congested during peak periods.
