Antalya Airport

✅ Trip Verified | While Antalya airport looks nice for arriving folks, it is awful for departing passengers (Terminal 2). All areas are full of people, not enough seats, so that people will sit at random gates where seats are available. The few restaurants are very expensive. Small water bottle 3 Euros, smallest coffee 7 Euros. Air conditioning not working properly, very hot on the 2nd floor, and I am talking about mid November, not July! Poor standards all over the place.

Not Verified |  Unqualified and very rude security staff. Disinterested and indifferent employees in the shops. Food disproportionately expensive for the poor quality. After more than a month (we were there in October 2024), I am still speechless about what I experienced at Antalya Airport. It seems that the airport staff despise tourists, and they are not aware about the importance of tourism as a major source of income for the country which provides many jobs. One thing is clear to me: I will not be flying to Antalya again.

Not Verified | Horrid, probably one of the worst airports, I've traveled a lot and have never seen something like that. Filthy and unclean. There is not enough seating area for everyone in the departures. People seat by the gates as there is nowhere to sit down and airport staff closes the area off and kicks people out! Security at the gate whhen coming back to the UK is partially gimmick that needs to be brought to the attention of the UK authorities. Airport staff has numbers to tick off, and once they hit their target of people to be searched, they sign the list off and don't search any more people! This way those who arrive later are likely not to be checked. Due to this a big group of rowdy lads was not asked to go through security check today as staff hit their target for the flight. Prices are unbelievably expensive - 2 pieces of small, cold pizza and Pepsi 20 euro. Burgers 20+ euro, bottle of water 8+ euro. Overall a very bad airport.

✅ Trip Verified | Without doubt, the worst airport I have visited. I'll be straight and honest. We will return again as Side in Turkey is an amazing town. But I'm sure this region deserves a better airport. It's like a cattle market with nowhere near enough seating if you plan on eating. And that's just the start. Tin of local lager (Effes) €12. Unbelievable. Small wine €11. Blamed on Inflation, yet the shop directly across from these stalls(photo attached) same wine, €3.50. Bottles of IPA beer €4.00 So, more likely extortion. And if you are lucky enough to get a seat to sip your vastly overpriced sandwich & drink, you'll be surrounded by thousands of wandering passengers begging for a seat to consume their golden meal.

✅ Trip Verified | Antalya airport is the most expensive airport I have ever been to. The prices are extortionate, for anything from the duty free to the various cafes and fast food restaurants, for the price you expect the food to be at least hot, the food was cold and stale. I just do not understand how they can charge so much for bad quality food. I understand airports are expensive but this was a different level of expensive. The rest of the airport is alright, easy to find where you’re going and helpful staff. You did have to go through double security once at the door and after you check in your luggage, so be mindful to not buy any drinks from downstairs. Also there is no airport WiFi you have to pay. Overall I will not be returning to Antalya because even outside of the airport prices are extortionate and vendors do not know how to trade in their own currency of lira. Everything is in Euros.

Not Verified | So expensive. Yes I know that airports are known to be expensive but this was astonishingly expensive. 14 euros for a cab of beer. The restaurant we ate at was unpleasantly busy and when we finally got our food when we were about to sit down this random woman and came and took our chairs and then other people had to give their chairs to us which quite frankly is disgusting behaviour. The queues are massive and the landing from the flight wasn't the best. It's a pretty bad airport.

Not Verified |   Fairly straight forward on arrival but as others have said, departures is a bit of a joke. Very badly organised, zero aircon (probably to make you buy more drinks), massively over crowded with limited seating, no wifi, and the food and drink charges are utterly criminal. We paid £28 for 3x bags of chips from burger king. We also had 3x separate security checks including myself and 4yo boy being selected for "random" bag searches at the gate by possibly the most disinterested security team you'll ever witness. We had a great holiday overall but this airport really is a bit of a stain on the whole experience.

Not Verified | Firstly, the first security checks are fine, I understand why there are so many before the departure gates. Prices are horrendous at burger king, Starbucks, Popeye's. lira to euro conversion makes the prices even worse - two meals from BK were 43euro. Our flight to Glasgow was departing at 00:45, gate opened around 23:30. UK Government imposed searches are a problem, the caveman doing the searches seemed to enjoy it. Arrogant, aggressive, intimidating. Felt like he wanted a reaction from passengers. He cracked my phone's screen protector and emptied a females toiletries bag onto a table in front of everyone. Humiliating, 'I can do what I like and you can't do anything about it' attitude. Almost half the men on the flight got this treatment and if any of us met him under different circumstances.... At the departure gate there were around 300 seats, however half were cordoned off for some unknown reason. 150 seats were sat on while the other 100 or so passengers stood around us looking at the forbidden seats. Horrible vibe, horrible prices, horrible staff.

Not Verified | Arrival simple. Through immigration quickly as in most Turkish airports. Departures is a totally different story. It's not organised chaos just chaos. Totally third world. Check in a nightmare. Despite checking in online have to queue for paper boarding card. Next are the passport control lines. To be fair this is probably the quickest bit of the constant queues. Security next which is crazy. They're either talking to each other or screaming at some passenger. Duty free. This is like a endurance test. Incompetent isn't a strong enough description. After 25 minutes waiting due to some poor girl with obviously no experience I managed to get a supervisor who's first excuse was "system problems" which was a fairytale as she put the goods through right away. Lounge. An utter disaster of a place. Overbooked and they couldn't care less. Some Russian guy (employee!!) acting like a doorman in a sleazy nightclub outrageously deciding who could and couldn't get in. By this point I lost the plot and the only thing I was told by the lounge "supervisor" was that sometimes Russian people sound cheeky!!! I wasn't in Russia was in Turkey and expect even basic manners. After getting in there were numerous staff members from Fraport Technik and others enjoying coffees cigarettes and chatting but for passengers it's full????? Finally the extra security check at the gate is laughable. They do check some passengers but once boarding commences they just leave even although still about a third of the flight not even entered the gate area. All in all it's a horrendous place. Fraport should hang their heads in shame but they will never do anything about until the travelling public vote with their feet and go elsewhere unless there is a compelling need to be in AYT.

✅ Trip Verified | One of the worst airports. Ridiculous prices (tea + coffee 11 euros). No wifi. Takes ages to buy anything at duty free, each customer spends 10-15 min at the cashier. No places to charge phones. Very few places to sit.
