"Dirty walls and floor"

(India)

Trip Verified | Worst airport anyone can find. Especially international arrival area. Dirty walls and floor. Baggage claim belt , too much rattling noise. Damaged trolleys. Big disgrace. Exiting and coming of airport is complete chaos.

"Dirty, unorganised and terrible"

(Portugal)

Trip Verified | Dirty, unorganised and terrible airport facilities. Half of shops are closed, people sitting on the ground and eating, boarding without any structure or organisation. Ground staff shouting around.

"The airport itself is a disgrace"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Immigration on arrival was ridiculously slow. On departure the check-in, Immigration and security was even slower. It took an hour and a half standing in queues. The airport itself is a disgrace.

"Chennai Airport is the worst I have seen till date"

(India)

Not Verified | Arriving into Chennai International Terminal is the worst experience. The toilets in the arrival hall are dirty, stinky and unhygienic. The luggage takes ages to come on the belt and the local transport system of Taxi or Auto is a total horror story. Have travelled to some very small international airports in more backward countries and I can confidently write that Chennai Airport is the worst I have seen till date.

"Immigration speed very slow"

(Japan)

Not Verified | Immigration clearing speed for both arrival and departure are very slow. About 90% of the counters are opened, but still slow. Better to increase the number or installing automatic machine for Indian nationals like Japan is doing. Business will be uncomfortable if this conditions continues.

"Immigration was extremely slow"

(United States)

Not Verified | Experience was not uniform. Some was good and the other was very poor. The luggage handling and porters were good. Was able to check into flight easily. The large baggage screening was efficient and pleasant. Immigration was extremely slow to the point where we would have missed the flight if we had not planned for more time than required. There were not enough officers to support the volume of travel. The same was true for security. Between immigration and security lines, the time taken was an hour and twenty minutes. The rest of the airport is not at an international level. It is more like a domestic airport. The seats also looked like they had not been cleaned in a long time. I hope the airport management will do something about the situation.

"immigration was completely messed up"

(India)

Not Verified | Arrival immigration was completely messed up. Took over 90 mins. Officers were way too slow for an international airport. Lines were not marked properly, people were cutting the line left and right.

"Worst in cleanliness and hygiene"

Not Verified | Horrible. Worst in cleanliness and hygiene. Seating in the gate area and the floor looks it hadn't been cleaned in years. Restrooms are very very dirty and pathetic.

"No health and hygiene"

(India)

Not Verified | Very pathetic airport in terms of service of International Airport. Airport manager can not be contacted easily for any complaints. Very basic services such as food are not available before immigration. Also as per rules a passenger can’t leave airport and enter again till airline service is open. No health and hygiene. Too many mosquitoes inside airport. Pathetic personal screening.

"Very poorly maintained"

(United Arab Emirates)

Trip Verified | Very poorly maintained / dirty. The lounges have mosquitoes around and staff is busy chit chatting. I am right now in travel lounge and the experience of service is very poor. Tables dirty, staff tired, things not in order. Tables aren’t cleaned and much more. Overall the airport needs cleaning cleaning and cleaning. Seems like cleaning isn’t priority at all!
