TABA AIRPORT customer review : 11 September 2010 by G Livesey

Customer Rating : 1/5 |  |
A tip when arriving. Get to the baggage belt as quickly as possible and stand next to the
baggage entry point. If you don't, then you end up having to fight off the fake (they look
like maintenance staff) porters who grab the bags off the belt and then demand bakshish to
hand over your luggage. Departure is a real trial. As others have said, there are no
announcements and no departure or arrival boards. Two, three or four flights depart within a
short period of each other and the departure lounge is packed. You have no real idea what
flight the man at the gate is calling and everyone pushes forward wondering if it's theirs.

Its a small airport and there is a queue when you depart, but it moves quickly, they seem
very efficient and polite and do the best they can. Seating did get very tight just before
the flights were called, but the toilets were new, clean and quite impressive for an Egyptian
airport. Snacks were expensive, but what you expect at the airport. Duty free seemed
extremely cheap and I have been at many worse European airports.

This airport is very bad. If you fly with Thomsons, they have 3 flights arriving within 20
mins of each other. Massive queues to get through the one gate. On return they have the same
3 flights, Gatwick, Manchester and Birmingham all checking in at the same time. Once through
you are greeted with a poor departure lounge - not enough seats. You can only use local
currency, Refreshments are the dearest you have ever seen. Toilets a joke. Most passengers
have had a long transfer before reaching this nightmare. I thought Sharm was bad, but its
positively luxury compared to Taba.

There is not enough seating if two flights are departing within a short space of time. The prices
for snacks and drinks are exorbitant - more expensive than London Gatwick. The toilet facilities are
appalling - hold your breath and get out quick. One outside a janitor gives a square of toilet paper
and holds his hands out for a tip! Would travel through this airport again but would be a lot more
prepared!
Taba International Airport by John Treacy
19 November 2007 Customer Rating : 
Small airport with arrivals and departures in this one terminal, single story building. It appears
to be geared towards purely charter airlines for those wishing to visit some of the nearby Egyptian
resorts but is close enough to be used as an alternative to gain entry to Israel at the Taba
crossing point. Very limited in regard to facilities. In departure it has two toilets, one small
duty free shop selling tobacco and alcohol, two "snack bars" and a couple of "shops" selling typical
tourist tat. Only one gate. No announcements and no boards to look for flight information. You are
called forward for departure. Typical Egyptian officialdom, why have two people to do a job when ten
can do it ? Security checks are worrying. Big gaps that really need to be addressed which, if
someone was so minded, could lead to a significant incident without too much effort.
