"selected for random complete check"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | I was travelling with my wife back to London from Bilbao airport. We are both doctors working in England and of Indian heritage. I was selected for random complete check. I have no problem with that except that I feel I was racially profiled. We both stood near the counter to see who else was picked up for random check. Only other person was another black male. I accept that you have to check people randomly , but I didn’t feel it was random at all. Do you have any figures to justify it? What was suspicious about me except that I brown?

"no information nor help!"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | By far my worst airport experience! We were diverted to Bilbao due to bad atmospheric conditions across UK which in itself is not great but happens. However I was not ready how terrible the service will be at the airport - no information nor help! They even sent us to a wrong hotel! On top of that nobody knew what they were doing - how to check in the luggage (took 45 minutes to start the process with no information what is happening!) or how to board us (again long wait and no information!). I was truly shocked by this whole situation and the level of unproffesionalism!

"Great regional airport"

(United Kingdom)

Unverified | Great regional airport by Spanish Standards. Easy to Navigate when both landing and departing. Arrivals was easy, immigration was quick and at the end of the arrivals lounge is the transit bus to the city centre. 15 minutes from getting of the plane and on a bus into the city. Check in was easy and simple, the only departures terminal has about 20 check in desks in the main hall and queues at security where not to long. The airside shopping is adequate and walking to the furthest gate takes no more than 5 minutes.

"a very good experience"

(United Kingdom)

Unverified | Because of the items in the news about delays and queues we were quite worried about going to Bilbao airport. We did have to wait a few minutes at passport control but not too long. The airport is a new building, very light and modern, we didn't have to use any steps at all which was brilliant. On our return journey we purchased food and drinks in the cafe, they were nicely prepared and the area was very clean and tidy. All in all a very good experience and the area can be proud of the facilities.

"getting to the plane is quite fast"

(Spain)

Verified Review | Bilbao is not the most comfortable airport - getting to the plane is quite fast (10 minutes maximum) and leaving the airport after landing is fast too (10-20 minutes). You can get to Bilbao by bus (there's a bus each 20-30 minutes).

"Very good experience"

(United Kingdom)

Unverified | Very good experience! Arriving - Plane lands, bags come off quickly and arrive quickly, passport line 5-10 mins maximum with all desks open with very little queues. Departing - All check in desks were open which made it flow quick, security lines were short which means we were through within 5 minutes. Good shops and restaurants available.

Bilbao Airport customer review

(United Kingdom)

What a contrast to arrive from the chaos of Stansted. Plane lands bags come off quickly passport line 5-10 mins maximum. Taxis right outside airport arrivals (or bus stop turn right and go to the end of the concourse). My record for checking in at the hotel is 42 mins from the wheels touching the runway. Coming back on Easy Jet last flight out of the night so it's a bit quiet but again you get through quickly. Grab a beer. Don't even bother queuing until you see the incoming plane land and reach the gate. Very relaxed place to fly in and out of.

Bilbao Airport customer review

(France)

Flew to and from Bilbao. Arrival was quick plane unloaded by Gateway. The building looks nice and is clean. The bad surprise was that we had to wait more than 30 minutes to see the first bag on the belt at a time we were the only plane arriving! I find this unacceptable in big airports and even more in a small one! Departure went well 2 coffees / breakfast facilities everything on time. A pity we got stuck in a bus 20 minutes while the plane was at 3 minutes walk!

Bilbao Airport customer review

(United Kingdom)

Flew STN-BIO BIO-STN modern stylish terminal architecture some way outside Bilbao but perhaps the nearest bit of flat land to be found amongst all those hills. No problems on arrival speedy passport check and luggage quickly up on the belt. Same when leaving fact luggage drop and security control. Airport is clean staff friendly and helpful. Minor gripes: no free wi-fi no post office to buy stamps souvenir shop did not have any postcards food and drink air-side expensive lifts seem to have a mind of their own not enough seats on the ground-side. Bilbao well worth a visit even for a day but certainly a weekend.
