Doncaster Sheffield Airport by Chris Hallam

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.
