Landed here in thick fog, check in good first occasion I flew out, security was very slow and overly fussy.
Second time much better, seating plentiful at gates but airside catering facilities and shops limited. Weather
can be an issue.

Customer Rating : 2/5 |  |
Not at all impressed. Was picking friends up on a flight that was to arrive at 1:55 am, just
to show up and be told that the screens in the terminal that tell you when your flight is
coming are never updated during early morning hours. So about 20 of us are left standing there
wondering when it will arrive all the time looking up at a screen that says it has arrived.
We finally get an airport that looks like an airport, but when it comes to service it's the
same old Halifax International Airport. Very disappointing.

One of Canada's smaller airports but not without it's own unique charm; on the upside you can
purchase live lobster at the airport, also a decent variety of fast-food establishments and a
very nice (albiet small) observation deck overlooking the ramp. If you are flying direct to
the US you do pre-clearance before boarding which is a real timesaver and it was quick and
effortless. Downsides of this airport is getting to the car-rental site although a short walk
across the street from the airport the entire area is under construction and each rental
company has a small construction site type building which can only accomodate a few people so
you if there was a line up for a particular car rental you might end up waiting outside and
getting to these also means walking through construction scafolding with no overhead
protection from the elements. The US departure lounge is seperate from the rest of the
departure area and is quite small with near inadequate seating and only a concession stand to
purchase food and drink.

We were stuck at Halifax International for 24 hours on 2nd Jan. The shopping and eating
facilities landside were not too bad although it was very draughty and cold. We found some
staff extremely unhelpful. We needed help to get standby tickets after missing a connection
due to icy runway. Whichever long queue we stood in we were told it was wrong, when we asked
"where then?" one particular lady shrugged and turned her back. Advice given was extremely
poor in our opinion we would have got home at least 24 hours sooner with better help.

The landside vehicle routes, parking and rental car areas are awful - but presumably the extensive
building works will solve this - but I'd hate to have to use current arrangements in the winter.
Inside the terminal and airside are fine, though things tend to close down about 2130, which isn't
very helpful when the LHR flight doesn't go until 2335.

The airport is far from town and if you are on a late flight in a non peak
season, don't expect to catch the shuttle into town. As the rest of the airport
goes, I'm always impressed. Mainly the check in time is non existant, basically
can walk right up to the booth and go through security. With the exception of
Christmas, arriving at the airport 45 min prior to departure is perfect time to
check in, go through security and reach you gate, I usually get to the gate just
in time for the preboarding.

I am a frequent user of Halifax International, and I must say, that it deserves
the awards it has received. Parking might be bad, but the new Park n' Fly lot
should help, as well as the construction of a new parking structure. Food is ok
for a fairly small airport. New US custom pre-clearance should be good for those
traveling to the US. The new expansions to the terminal are welcomed.
Halifax Int'l Airport by Devon Anderson

Halifax Airport takes pride in its advertising plight to say it is recognized
world wide in customer service. Their claim to fame is that they have ranked
number 1 three years in a row in customer satisfaction. If you dig into the
statistics you'll find they participate in a survey of airports with less that 5
million passengers and those airports that do participate are few in number. It
wouldn't be that hard to rank number 1. I think the service I have experienced
there is far from world renowned and leaves a lot to be desired. Parking is
terrible, there is minimal shopping and food services other than fast food
style. The airport, including the runways have been under construction for many
years creating constant delays. They obviously have PR staff that are able to
use statistics to their best advantage.
Halifax Int'l
Airport by B McDonald

Halifax International Airport, despite being slightly outdated, met my high
standards. The ground staff are quite amiable and there is lovely cultural
shopping. However, to agree with the previous comment, it is located very
inconvenient location and the airport limousine is quite expensive.
Additionally, there is a strong feeling of desolation in the airport on a Sunday
morning, as there is not a great profusion of flights.

Airport by Andrew Owens

The shopping was decent, but as for the airport's ability to handle an
international flight - not impressed at all. I was flying YHZ - LHR on 31
August. We were left waiting for two hours standing in a queue because a
computer broke down, then were rudely told by an officer that we would miss our
flight if we didn't hurry up. There were no screens to tell us what was going
on, and those that were there were either wrong or changing so constantly that
it was impossible to determine what was going on. In addition, the airport is
36km from Halifax - it's in the middle of Nova Scotia near a place called Goffs
- but the airport shuttle is good and fairly cheap.
