Dusseldorf Airport

Connected twice here. Didn't find it too hard to get around. Staff very friendly. In the off duty area you might as well have thought you were in a small shopping park. the gate was OK. A few rows of chairs for a regional flight it was good. Security was quick and easy.

The worst airport you could travel from. Very disrespectful staff from all departments and areas. Inconvenient facilities. Outdated design and very limited duty free options. Try to avoid using this airport as much as possible.

Dusseldorf is a big little airport. Its clean simple and easy to navigate. We only had one issue the pre- departure passport check was extremely understaffed so we were almost late for are flight. Besides that everything was okay.

Non EU immigration took over 3 hours to reach one of the 2 windows open over 400 crushing chaotically in a small area with no queue system. Very disorganized and poorly resourced - but a couldn't-care-less attitude prevails. A very unpleasant place to pass through.

I arrived at Dusseldorf International from New York very early in the evening. Immigrations was very fast the fastest I've experienced. When we got to baggage claim area the baggage was already on the carrousel. No problem at customs so 40 minutes after arrival we were buying our S-Bahn (train) tickets to go to downtown Dusseldorf which is 15-20 minutes away. The airport is modern and very clean. There's plenty of places to eat and buy - there is a supermarket inside the terminal. The only thing that didn't work for us was that the train ticket machines didn't accept our US-Bank debit cards so we had to get cash in order to pay the tickets but there was no Deutsche Bank ATM in the airport and we had to get cash from another ATM which had no agreement with our US Bank resulting in higher fees. However I think that this is an excellent airport. Our outbound flight was from Berlin.

Airport is modern and clean well connected by road and public transport but the security check is a disaster. The staff are slow arrogant and unhelpful. Queuing took forever even fast track. Beware you get charged 1€ if you require a plastic bag for liquids. I never carry any but I thought that was shocking given that airport charges are included in tickets.

The airport itself is very convenient however the car parking situation is very bad. In May there was no long term parking place left although plenty of space you had to reserve a place through the Internet before leaving which we didn't. The second time in July I tried to reserve a place some days before we left but now all long term parking places were already occupied. Next time we will try to avoid using Dusseldorf airport.

No waiting at check-in (Air Berlin/Niki) nor security. Boarding was little chaotic but OK. Only downside was that we waited for baggage pretty long time. Airport also seemed to me as easy to transfer. Overall very good experience in modern terminal.

Dusseldorf is a modern clean and relatively efficient airport. I found it for the most part user-friendly in terms of the facilities and lack of queues. Just one minor complaint though the signage is really poor sending you in circles and to dead-ends. There are two floors for departures which can be confusing and you really have to keep your eyes peeled to keep track of where you're heading.

Excellent airport. Good for changing flights too. Well laid-out. Good shopping and food outlets. Friendly staff clean and well connected by trains and road. Good choice of destinations and flights.
