Ljubljana Airport

Very rarely have I been able to go through an airport with such quickness as Ljubljana. It is a small compact airport and does look cramped with shops and airline counters. There are clear signs in English. A bus awaited us on arrival to take us into the airport terminal - very short ride. I was out of the building in less than 2 minutes. The departure was similarly fast. Even with the security check which involved taking out your computer and liquids - I was at the gate in just 5 minutes though several flights were scheduled over the next hour. Immediately after the security check is a large duty free shop carrying the usual products and a small selection of Slovenian items. There is also a small coffee shop selling basic fayre. The gates are right in front though a flight of stairs leads to a few gates upstairs where the larger planes board. Large glass panes lets you gaze out. Enough comfortable seats around including several "massage seats" which could be activated by euros. A modern easy to get on and off bus took us to the aircraft located off the terminal building. The beauty of the airport's setting - ringed by mountains - could be glimpsed from the large windows of the bus on the short ride. All in all, a memorably pleasant and stress free airport experience!

Ljubljana Airport has everything you need - but in miniature. It's now our 'local' airport for ourselves/friends to and from the UK. You can drive up to the terminal building to drop/collect people (though last time I noticed they seemed to be fitting some sort of barriers). There is a multi-storey car park directly opposite the terminal (30 mins free) On the 7/8 times I have been there this year, there has never been more than a couple of people in front of you at check in. Security has taken about 5 mins and once through there is quite a good duty free. Passport control has only ever taken a couple of mins and there is another cafe and duty free shop after that. There are 8 air bridges so we've never been bussed out onto the tarmac. For the smokers there are 'cabins' before and after passport control. You can probably walk the length of the terminal in less than 5 mins so it doesn't take long to get anywhere. Flying in is just as painless. Passport control is manual (no E-gates). If you have an EU/Swiss passport then select the left hand queue - it moves quicker. 2 luggage belts seem to cope and we haven't waited more than 5 mins for bags. Not sure what it's like at peak ski season with skis etc. Only complaint is the price of long term parking - it's expensive. An alternative is to use the Adria Airways car park. It's about 5 mins walk but about half the price.

This is a very pleasant airport to travel from that I visit often. Although it is very small, transport links are excellent, and service is good. Shuttle buses to Ljubljana will take you to any address (and even collect if you pre-book) for 9 euros. Sometimes queues extend around the departure lounge, which has a post office, a few shops, a dining hall and cafe. The cafe has good coffee and pastry deals. Security is very efficient: two desks in a small area which you rarely have to wait long for. Past security there is plenty of seating downstairs, again with cafe serving traditional cakes. Excellent to have unlimited free wifi without login required, always reliable right up to boarding tunnel. Passport control upstairs is again quick, with two security desks. Beyond this there is less seating, but usually enough, and quite a few accessible power sockets. Arrival area past baggage claim is very small (basically just a cafe) but people seem to always move through quickly.

Ljubljana Airport is small and easy accessible. There are two security gates to access the departure area, but everything goes smoothly. If you do not want to wait, it is recommended that you register before for the card Fly Ljubljana (it is free online) and you can have the priority boarding and use the priority line for the security. It saves you time. After the security you have two departure areas - on the ground floor and on the first floor. First floor is renewed, bathrooms are better upstairs. If you have children, you have a very nice children's playground on the first floor (and even if you departing from the ground floor, you can use the playground upstairs. You will be at your gates on ground floor in 2 minutes). Free strollers for rent are available on the first floor by the elevator. Business lounge is very nice, you get some cold refreshments (no hot ones) and the rest rooms are very nice. At the arrivals there are only two luggage belts, but everything goes smoothly. You are outside in less than 20 minutes after landing.

You are outside in less then 20 minutes after landing.

A small facility yet very modern and efficient although the arrivals/luggage pick-up could be a bit crowded if more than one flight arrives at the same time.

Great little airport. Flew through security. I mistakenly left a bottle of water in my backpack which was well and truly over the 100ml liquid limit however the man was very polite in asking me to remove it. There was no line for passport control however there is only a small cafe and a duty free shop about a quarter of the size as the main one after the passport checks.

I was using this airport for my late evening departure flight to Istanbul on 28th of August. The airport was nearly empty and everything went smoothly. The airport is conveniently reached by the airport shuttle from Central Bus Station which costs 4.10 Euro. It is a clean and easy to navigate airport due to its size. Staff at the check- in counter security officers and immigration officer were really friendly and kind. There are limited numbers of restaurants and duty free outlets. However the free Wi-Fi is very much appreciated.

I used LJU twice last week for arrival and departure. The airport is small as well as amount of flights and passenger volumes. So it easily gets crowded when two planes arrive one after another. In my case everything was ok. No wait at immigration somewhat longish wait for bags to arrive clean toilets shuttle buses were simple to find nice staff and ok cafes. On departure effective and polite security staff fast immigration no wait at check in. Nothing spectacular but just fine. Free wifi across the building is a huge plus! Highly recommended.

Quite pleasant small airport. Too small check-in area which makes a crowd. Toilets clean cafe decent security check mostly fast. New departure area (gates 1-8) modern spacious enough seats. Arrival area small and efficient baggage arrives quickly on one of 2 conveyor belts. Airport connection with Ljubljana is a hassle.
