Doncaster Sheffield Airport by Chris Hallam
21 February 2008 Customer Rating : 
Doncaster airport is a half sized replica of Liverpool Airport also owned by Peel Holdings. On the
whole the airport is spacious, not crowded and pleasant staff. Check in generally quick as is
baggage reclaim. Passport control on return can take a while as usually only two officials are
allocated to checking passports. Two things to beware of - if you have a flight in the evening, buy
sandwiches before going through security as quite often Wetherspoons airside will close as early as
5.00 pm, leaving only one bar open with a very limited selection of snacks. Secondly be very careful
about using credit cards in the parking payment machines in the airport. I used my credit card to
pay for 15 mins parking which should have cost 3 pounds, when the credit card bill arrived the
machine had charged me over 300 pounds! This apparently was due to a fault on the machine but it
took several months and threats of going to the press to recover it all. Despite these minor flaws
Doncaster Sheffield airport is a pleasant under-used provincial airport, which although a little
isolated is a pleasant change from the crowds of Heathrow or Gatwick.

Spacious and efficient terminal with good cafes, bars & shopsthough the lack of a cashpoint that
doesn't charge an extra fee is disappointing. Main problem though is onward transport. Unless a
direct bus or train route to Sheffield is created soon, they really should remove the city name from
the airport.

What a pleasant experience this airport is. Flight departed around lunchtime on monday, loads of seats
in departure lounge free, no queues in Duty Free or at bar! Although Leeds /Bradford is my local
airport, the terminal there is struggling to cope with increased passenger levels. I would fly from
DSA in the future.

Flew to Pisa with Ryanair. Flight takes off early morning and the
airport was empty at that time (07:30), we were the only people checking
in, beats Manchester and foggy Leeds Bradford. Nice and small, no car
park shuttle bus rubbish. Car park easy to navigate, short walk to the
terminal, few check in desks - not hard to find yours, thoroughly
pleasant.

Must add that the public transport links are not the best. Currently the
only public transport is a shuttle bus to Doncaster station, from where
you need to take the train if you want to go to Sheffield. The fastest
train is 15 mins but others take around 35. There are also taxis at the
airport, although a taxi into Sheffield will be around 35 pounds. They
can be difficult to come by at night.

Very easy new airport to use. I have so far used it four times in it's
opening year. It's pretty much an exact replica of Liverpool John Lennon
Airport and is spacious and well laid out. Going through the airport
couldn't be simpler or easier. Staff are pleasant and are always visible
and approachable. There is a great landside bar which has a full view of
the airfield. Baggage reclaim takes 10-15 minutes at the most as there
are not too many flights at the airport at the moment.
