Eindhoven Airport

✅ Trip Verified | What a disaster. Arriving more than 2hrs in advance of flight and still almost missing the flight. Uncoordinated luggage check-in, no staff to help, FlexPlus checkin was out of service, regular check-in devices that all of a sudden got out of service, flight labels that you need to attach to luggage yourself and were too sticky for manual attachment. Really nobody of the staff seemed to care about increased queues and the consequences for travelers worried about making their flight. Eventuallly we needed to be very rude and egotistic to fully skip the queue in order to make our flight. Staff were like: it’s your problem. Eindhoven clearly does not have the infrastructure, staff and information systems to manage all flight volumes properly.

✅ Trip Verified | Security officer was very unpleasant. I had paper napkins in my pocket (one would think that an x-ray machine would know the difference between those and a bomb) but he wanted to see them. I immediately showed them in a very polite way but he talked to me as if I was completely out of line. I felt like a criminal - my crime being that I carried napkins, that is. I addressed the security officer as “sir” but he talked to me as if I was a neighbour who needed to be roughed up. Don’t these people get any training?

Not Verified | First time traveling with Transavia from this airport. What a disaster. Everywhere you can read about the friendly Noord-Brabant. Well, I can tell: its a horrible place to be. As soos as you enter the airport you can see and feel the mess. I have travelled about 40-50 airports and never ever, whether it was in China or Russia, I saw such chaos. And even then the worst is yet to come. When you have to go to your plane you will stand outside in the wind and rain between iron counters which remind you of WOII. Never ever we will uses this airport again!

❌ Not Verified | Horrible, just unbelievably horrible. Enormous queues, almost no staff. Was here two hours before take-off, and still waiting. I'll try to avoid it next time.

✅ Trip Verified | Super slecht: al een paar keer op een rij. Nu toch besloten om een review te schrijven, daar er geen enkele vooruitgang te bemerken is. Sterker nog: het wordt alleen maar erger. Te weten: een onvoorstelbaar lange rij voor de baggagecontrole. 2 uur wachten en bijna de vlucht gemist. Eenmaal binnen een rommelige en chaotische bende, zonder fatsoenlijk sanitair. Deze AirPort kan het huidige aantal vluchten echt niet aan. Ik heb zowel in binnen- als in buitenland nog nooit zo’n slechte ervaring gehad! Zelfs in zo genoemde ontwikkelingslanden loopt het gestroomlijnder. - Super bad: already a few times in a row. Now decided to write a review, since there is no progress to be noticed. In fact, it only gets worse. To know: an unimaginably long line for baggage control. Wait 2 hours and almost missed the flight. Once inside a messy and chaotic gang, without decent plumbing. This AirPort can not handle the current number of flights. I have never had such a bad experience both at home and abroad! It is even more streamlined in so-called developing countries.

✅ Trip Verified | I had a "not good experience" at Eindhoven Airport for many reasons. First, we landed at 22.00 coming from Morocco, and I had to wait for my next flight to Prague which was scheduled at 08.00 in the morning. Actually, I was planning to spend the night inside the Airport to catch my next early flight to Prague, but unfortunately at 23.45 the security staff came asking me (in a polite way) and some passengers to leave the airport because it closes at midnight and opens at 04.30 in the morning. So, we had to wait outside the Airport for 4.5 hours shivering in cold weather (-2). Personally, I do respect the rules of public places, but to be thrown away in such cold weather without any shelter outside the Airport is something inhumane and bad that may affect the excellent reputation which The Netherlands has worldwide. Second, not enough seating. Third, some of the security staff were unprofessional because they wanted to take some thyme and dried mushrooms which I usually use in my kitchen as food. They called a police officer who came to check my luggage, and I had to wait there for some time. Fortunately, the police officer was helpful and professional. I usually take tyhme, mint, dates, nuts, fenugreek seeds, and other dried herbs and plants during my trips as I am vegetarian, and I had never been delayed by security staff for such things. Unfortunately, in Eindhoven Airport it happened, and I was really very unsatisfied. I hope to see better services there in the future (shelter outside the Airport, comfortable and enough seating, professional staff). The Netherlands is a wonderful country and its Airports deserve the best.

❎ Unverified | First time user of Eindhoven for a WizzAir flight to and from Sofia. In addition to the ratings below some other remarks: Signs to the airport in the larger airport surroundings are not clear. Parking, despite a booking, is troublesome. Luggage self check-in: after queuing out of order (out of paper) security check: only 50% of available lanes in use despite enormous number of passengers waiting. Passport control: very slow and detailed check of every passenger's ID. From lounge to plane: resembles a slaughterhouse: long lanes with high fencing; waiting in the rain. In short: an airport to avoid in future!

✅ Verified Review | Prima luchthaven, echter, Wat mij steeds weer verbaasd is dat de heren toiletten in de hal niet goed functioneren en dat reparaties wekenlang uitblijven. Toiletten lopen over, urinoirs zijn kapot, water loopt over de vloer. Het grondpersoneel stelt zelfs dat op meldingen ook van hen niet of nauwelijks wordt gereageerd. Directie schaam je. Prime airport, however, What I am surprised is that the gentlemen's toilets are not working properly in the hallway and that repairs remain for a long time. Toilets run over, urinals are broken, water runs over the floor. The ground staff even states that reports are not or hardly reacted to them. Management is ashamed of you.

✅ Verified Review | Arriving was fine but departure was a nightmare. It took an hour and half to get to the gate from arrival because of: immense queues everywhere, staff said they would help but did not. Staff lied. We are not going to be departing from this airport again.

✅ Verified Review | If you are used to Schiphol this is a real Mickey Mouse airport. Unprofessional staff, not enough seating, the security staff so unprofessional. I fly twice a month from Schiphol due to flight times for the first time from Eindhoven (and the last) the security staff made me take off a necklace this never happens at Schiphol. I heard the female security guard laughing with her colleague that she had made me take it off, she didn't see that I was behind her. Disgraceful! Avoid this airport if possible.
