"1.5 hrs through passport control and security"
Alex Johnson (United Kingdom)
Dinard Airport arrival experience was excellent - I was second off the plane so got out within 5 minutes. Departure was a nightmare - 1.5 hrs queuing to get through passport control and security. There's only one Douane and 1 security lane which isn't enough for full Ryanair flights. Our flight had to be delayed by 40 mins so everyone could get on. Once in the departure lounge there is limited seating and a vending machine - that's all (and just 2 toilets for everyone). The terrace bar before security is very nice though.

"only 1 security lane"
Daniel Frost (United Kingdom)
We arrived at Dinard airport at around 15.30 in April 2015. The airport is tiny, so dont expect much. The queue for the passport control was queuing out of the door and took around 15 mins to pass. The airport has one small baggage belt that gets very cramped. When you get into arrivals, there are 4 car hire desks. Overall the arrival experience was ok, considering what a small airport Dinard is. On our departure there was only 1 bag drop desk for an entire flight. Next step is security where you have to show your passport/boarding pass 4 times to 4 different people. There is only 1 security lane which took 30 mins clear, and when you get into the departure lounge it is no better there either, there are no shops whatsoever, no not even a magazine shop, just a few vending machines. Overall this airport was ok.

"Restaurant is closed until 2.30"
Marion Pemble (France)
Arrive Dinard Airport at 2 with our daughter, for her flight at 3.50 decided to have a bit of lunch up stairs. I had driven for a couple of hours and needed a hot drink plus something to eat, this is an Airport. Wrong - I am unable to walk upstairs, I need a lift and that was out of order. Asked a young lady. With a smile on her face, sorry she said, he will be back in 30 mins to fix the lift. Also the Restaurant is closed until 2.30. We leave, pay 2.50EUR for the expensive car park, and get a great burger on the way home.

Dinard Airport customer review
J Mathews (United Kingdom)
Had the misfortune to travel through this cow shed last week. The small quantity of multitasking staff there are more than happy to do as little as possible and ensure that everyone has an unpleasant experience. The customs and security staff especially behave as if they are secret police in charge of the White House rather than some backwater airfield. You have to queue too long for everything if you have to check a bag in you will have to show your passport and boarding pass to 4 separate people at different stages who are all within 20 meters of each other. What is the point of this - just jobs for the boys no doubt. When you have reached the departure lounge you find not enough seats 3 small air conditioners which are all useless. You will only find a couple of vending machines which don't accept notes only coins. I had to go back out through security to get some change for the vending machines. The 2 security staff members I tried talking to refused to speak English to me when only 5 minutes earlier I had heard them talking decent English with another passenger. Finally I found someone who would talk English and explained to them why I needed to return land side. All in all a very unpleasant experience I recommend anyone not to use this pathetic excuse of an airport.

Dinard Airport customer review
Blaeke Downie (United Kingdom)
Though they only have 2 or 3 flights a day mainly budget airlines the queues are never ending and final calls for outbound flights are broadcast before the inbound aircraft has even landed. The stress levels that you will experience travelling through DNR are comparable to no other airport I have experienced. The unfriendly staff go out of their way to make your journey unpleasant. Services and facilities at this airport are non-existent which is understandable due to the very low number of flights it is basically just a shed in a field with a runway. I would suggest avoiding DNR at all costs and using BA or AirFrance to fly to NTE (Nantes) or ANE (Angers) or UIP (Quimper) as an alternative.
