DUNDEE AIRPORT review : 13 October 2008 : by Janet Smith

Customer Rating : 4/5

Beautiful views on take-off, free long-term parking, nice friendly, efficient staff and so convenient if you live between Edinburgh and Aberdeen. But does it really have to be so prohibitively costly for the non-business and small business traveler? The dreary trek to Edinburgh by train and bus or even car adds 2 hours but saves hundreds of pounds. When's Easyjet coming to Leuchars? Air France needs some competition.

Dundee Airport provides a convenient link direct to London City, Birmingham & Belfast. The airport is small and there are no shops. There is a Costa coffee stall and the airport terminal is modern and comfortable. I would recommend flying from Dundee, Air France now provide the Dundee to London City route and Fly Woosh the Birmingham & Belfast services. My only gripe lies with the airlines themselves who do not seem to realise that if they lowered their weekend prices they could cash in on a lucrative leisure market which is put off by the high prices. Dundee to London route is only worthwhile for leisure if booked way in advance and you can fly out with peak periods.

Flew out of Dundee Airport for the first time (even though it is our home town when we are back for the summer holidays). Friendly check-in staff and understanding security staff. Yes, it is a small airport and lacks the faciilities of say Edinburgh and Glasgow. But after the 'Glasgow' incident, it was refreshing to drive to an airport and not suffer the issues encountered at other BAA airports. The takeoff to London City provides a fantastic view of the Tay. Will use it more often.

Dundee Airport is very small, but has a modern terminal building. Facilities are not suprisingly rather limited, but the check-in is very quick and easy. Free parking is available. The only route is the Scot Airways service to London City Airport, which operates several times daily. The only negative aspect is the lack of public transport links, but a taxi ride to the city centre takes only five minutes. The main Aberdeen-Glasgow railway passes the airport - the lack of a station is annoying. Compared to the long queues and delays at larger airports, the tiny Dundee Airport is a delight to use and a useful alternative to Edinburgh or Aberdeen airports. The view of the city and the River Tay on takeoff/landing is stunning.
