EILAT AIRPORT review : 18 November 2008 : by D Fay

Customer Rating : 4/5

As the previous reviewer noted, Eilat airport terminal is in the centre of the city, and surrounded by hotels: I didn't believe the taxi driver for a few seconds when he dropped us there! Once inside we got a thorough grilling by security and our bags swabbed throughout for explosives. I think we got extra attention as foreigners but the female security official was very friendly and jovial - much nicer that the humourless officials who you normally meet. Checkin and hand baggage checks were quick and easy as the only flight was our 72-seater Arkia departure. There is a shop/cafe on both landside and airside parts but we didn't get a chance to try either. Overall it does the job well - just be prepared for the security.

Flew Israir from Tel Aviv Sde Dov to Eilat. Easy in and easy out. ETH is smack in the middle of the city. You can actually walk to some of the bigger hotels. One word of caution - don't take a full size jetliner to ETH, the facility isn't big enough to handle that many passengers at once. Arkia and EL Al actually fly 757s into the airport.
