Valencia Airport

I am travelling to Valencia on a more or less regularly basis and I find this small airport a well organized and friendly one although it is rather old. It is easily accessible check-in is quick and efficient the place is clean and neat the food in the upstairs restaurant is at good quality although the place itself has the charms of a bus-station-fast-food-kiosk. Ways are short Security checks and Immigration is also fast and the friendly personnel loves to collect the necessaires of female passengers who forgot to take out the scissors. You can find them again next time in a shop nearby the airport where they are sold at good prices. Overall a rather nice place to touch down at compared to some other Spanish airports especially Alicante Palma & Madrid.

No jetways small lounges very small check in counters and smoking allowed everywhere (among other things). This airport was already outdated the day it was first opened. With so many domestic daily flights and international ones to Miami Bogota Aruba etc. it is a shame the industrial heartland of this country has such a pitiful airport.
