"passport control took 2 hours"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Worst airport experience ever. Queue for passport control took 2 hours! When you got there, only 4 officers on yet 6 desk areas! And the ones that are in ‘attendance’ (they don’t work hard) … are SO SLOW - could not care less that the departure area is crowded by their inefficiency! Will not be back to Corfu airport.

"Very unusual queue system here"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Very unusual queue system here, somebody needs to go to other airports and bring back a foolproof system of queueing, as there seems to be no system here. Some staff were seen just chatting to each other rather than calling travellers up to check in. Security staff at passport control were chatting and laughing with each other rather than getting, hot, tired travellers through at a fast pace, not much consideration for elderly or people with disabilities were installed in their bizarre queueing system. Water was €6 for desperate travellers. No time to view duty-free shops due to queueing. Such a shame.

"One of the worst airports"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Crowded, limited seating, small selection of standard shops, no first class traveller lounge, no BA lounge. Caters mostly for package tourist market. Very poor and few departure board information. No information desk. One of the worst airports

"the arrival hall becomes a nightmare"

(Brazil)

Trip Verified | As most of people here state the airport is brand new and clean but they schedule most of flights at the same time, in other words the arrival hall becomes a nightmare. We had to wait airborne for some 40 minutes before we were allowed to land due lack of ramp space. The airport is well connected with buses to town. On departure everything was pretty much smooth, but they let you wait outside waiting on the heat. During peak summer season I would avoid Corfu if I were you.

"Impressed with this airport"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Impressed with this airport. Quick and easy process for arrival and departure. Yes we had to queue for passport control but they got through the lines reasonable quick. The luggage had still not hit the belts so we would have queued anyway. On departure the line again for both check in and passport control was quick. The food courts were excellent and great choice at very reasonable prices£6 for s/w. What I was more impressed weee the cleanliness of the toilets. Having had the worst experience through Heraklion this was a complete surprise. Well done Corfu. Very clean and modern

" avoid this airport"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | We booked a holiday with Tui/Marella Cruises and chose Corfu airport because it was close to the ship port. I am writing this message to warn others to avoid this airport if you are with TUI Marella Cruises and travelling on a Friday to Friday holiday to Corfu during the summer of 2023 for the following reasons: All the chartered TUI flights arrive within minutes of one another over a 3-hour time period causing absolute chaos at this very small and inadequate airport that is unable to support the approximate 2,000 passengers that are about to descend on it at this time every Friday. We waited on the plane for over an hour because we had to wait for passengers from other planes to disembark onto the buses that take you 100 meters. It was very hot and uncomfortable. The queue for passport control was another 2 hours wait standing squashed together - a claustrophobic nightmare! Fortunately, we did get inside the building, others were out in the blistering heat. Our baggage by this time had been thrown off the carousel and we had to hunt through piled-up luggage to retrieve it. I do not think this is the fault of Corfu Airport, this is TUI's fault (I suspect) for selecting a cheap airport and ship port to make more money from their holiday sales. The return journey from this airport could have been catastrophic. I believe that it is a health and safety issue and should be investigated immediately. Again, all the charted TUI flights depart at roughly the same time and the airport doesn't have the capacity. Once at the airport, you will see all the cruise passengers that had disembarked the ship 2 hours before you still standing outside the airport in the blistering heat waiting to check their bags in... and little do you know at that time, you will be joining them at the back of the queue which extends onto the road where the coaches are trying to turn around without knocking someone over. There is no shade. There are large coaches with exhaust fumes adding to the heat. If you are sensitive to sunstroke and heatstroke (like me) it will be hell. I had to leave my husband and go into the terminal. This was very upsetting. There was no space to move inside the terminal. All the departures were mixed up together and TUI staff were trying to squeeze groups through the crowds because their flights were about to leave. A long queue through security and straight onto the plane. No time for duty-free. No time for food. Then told when on the plane that Corfu Airport only has one lift for disabled passengers and we might miss our time slot... we were already delayed by 1 hour.

"had to wait at least two hours"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | On arrival we had to wait 30 minutes on aircraft as two were disembarking passengers ahead of us. Once off we had to wait at least two hours to finally get through passport control. On our return flight we were queuing for at least 2 hours, we were advised to wear hats and have water, which I bought from the street food café opposite the terminal. Once inside the departure board told us to go to gate, however we were another hour and a half before we got near a check in desk. Much polite talking to the TUI Reps at the airport did not seem to help as did every bus turning up with more passengers to add to the frustration we were delayed as four people could not get through the check in line any faster. One who looked elderly and frail.

"worst airport I've ever been to"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Absolutely the worst airport I've ever been to. Arriving was shocking, sat on the plane for over an hour because we needed a staircase and there wasn't one available, then waited for a bus to take us 10 feet. Queues through security etc were long hot and not very nice, but the way back was something else, coaches were dropping people off every 20-30 minutes or so but the queuess were not going down at all just getting bigger, we were waiting over two hours in 30 degree heat, no shade or water. It was inhumane and absolutely disgusting, its not fit for purpose as it is, it simply cannot cope with the traffic. I'd avoid this airport at all costs and I'm sure the hundreds that went through the day i did (23rd june) would agree, its a shambles. I can’t comment on food, seats or cleanliness because we never got to see it, by the time we got through check in, and security we had to run to the plane which was over an hour late to leave

"Laughable all the way"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | The vehicles delivering passengers were skewed all over the road and passengers disembarking on the road. Had to queue outside the terminal for an hour. Had to queue for a further 45 minutes to drop baggage off. Then had another 20 minutes for passport control. The Greek staff were generally quite rude in their character. The terminal announcer gave incorrect gate details twice, causing some of the elderly passengers quite a bit of confusion. Once on the plane and delayed by an hour, the Captain announced he could not yet leave due to no ground staff being available to remove the stairs etc. Laughable all the way. Will not return.

"pleasant and relaxing experience"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Late evening arrival into CFU on the 4th May 23 arriving 10 minutes early from EMA. Deplaned quickly and minimal delay at passport control only due to 200 people disembarking at the same time, there were also several friendly assistants to help manage the queue and answer any questions. Baggage was starting to appear on the carousel as we entered the collection area so again no great delay and straight out to waiting transport. On our return journey, early evening departure 11th May small queue for checkin and baggage drop. Plenty of friendly JET2 staff to assist and pre tag cabin baggage so maybe a 20 minute delay but the queue was inside the building and 4 checkin desks open. Security again was very quick with only about 10 people in front of us, whilst I wouldn't say the security staff were unfriendly they were perhaps best described as efficient. Then into the departure lounge with more than enough seating for all the waiting passengers from various flights with a variety of shops and food and drink establishments available. Again passport control to gates was fast and friendly with no great delay and even at the gates there was food and drink available which looked very appetising. Flight boarded quickly and departed about 20 minutes behind schedule. It has to be said that since the completion of the refurbishment of this airport the experience is vastly improved. The toilets/washrooms are no longer an area to be feared and requiring a bio hazard suit to use. The whole airport is clean and bright with sufficent staff on hand. There is also a greater choice of food and drinks available. So a really pleasant and relaxing experience flying into and out of Corfu compared with previous occasions.
