EINDHOVEN AIRPORT review : 27 June 2009 by S Potts

Customer Rating : 4/5

I fly from Eindhoven frequently and it really is more of a pleasure to use than bigger airports such as Heathrow or Schiphol. It's small and check in times can be as little as 30 mins for smaller airlines like VLM, although more time is necessary for Ryanair or Transavia as they use 737s. My only gripe is that the airport staff usually seem more concerned with gossiping or talking on their personal phones than dealing with customers (even passport control - I was once waiting there for 5 mins waiting for him to finish talking and he was the only one on duty). This really lets down what is otherwise a great little airport.

Nice modern small airport with friendly staff. When it is raining, you get very wet walking to the aircraft. Restaurant and observation deck at first floor are very comfortable. Clean modern toilets and relaxed atmosphere all over the terminal. Parking facilities could be improved. Perfect bus connection to Eindhoven train station.

Eindhoven was nice. Parking in front of terminal, 1 minute walk. Straight towards check inn. In the transit zone a good shop for food and drinks. Enough comfortable seating in the boarding areas. Clean toilets. No security or gun toting SWAT teams around. Very relaxed atmosphere.

If you fly out there with low cost airlines it would not be a problem if your arrive 45 minutes before departure, everything is done in a smooth and efficient way there.

6I just love Eindhoven Airport. It is small but very friendly and has a nice atmosphere. Good connections to the rest of Holland (by motorway) and the busses leave regularly. Also they have a nice cafe with a good view and you can still light a cigarette in the departure hall (under one of those big umbrellas and in the restaurant in certain sections).

Eindhoven, what a pleasant surprise. The perfect size, resembles Dublin Airport when I was a child & it was far from the dreadful, claustrophobic sprawl it is now, even before they hid the baggage trolleys. Eindhoven is open and low-level, clean, everything within sight and well signposted. Any instructions for vending machines and storage lockers were so minimal and clear that it was stress- free. The staff are so genuinely pleasant and friendly it amazed me. Smoking stations to stave off the panic, so reassuring to view through the glass partitions. Clean comfortable seating, a really nice roof terrace from which you can watch the planes land, plenty of room inside the air-conditioned restaurant, a reasonably-priced, varied menu, free reading material. Train station nearby. Oh, why can't all airports be like this? (Taxis in the Nederlands overcharge amazingly; pre-warned, I got a train-and-shared-taxi ticket combined in the train station. At the other end, you just wait for a few minutes until two or more people are going in the same direction & off you go at a much lower fare.)
