"It was total chaos"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | I travelled from Faro to Manchester today. It was total chaos. People were herded like cattle both on the flat and on stairs. I can’t believe that any airport in the modern world would allow such a dangerous situation like I saw today. I have never seen anything like it at any other airport in the world. It’s dangerous.

"Absolutely worst Airport"

(Ireland)

Trip Verified | Absolutely worst Airport ever! Couldn't believe it in this day and age. No excuses for the lack of sanitation. Dirt everywhere, Toilets reek no soap, bins over flowing with rubbish, looks like they haven't been cleaned in months! no Air conditioning at 30 degrees, Will never fly there again. First and last time.

"Staff attitude really stinks"

(Portugal)

Not Verified | Staff attitude really stinks in some parts (particularly Transavia check-in where they alternate between barely acknowledging your existence and bristling for an argument) but is, at best, ok in others. Area A offers terrible food at (obviously, it’s an airport) massively inflated prices and again, the staff at the counter treat you like you’re something off the bottom of their shoe. Sadly there are no alternatives, so hum pleasantly to yourself and take your own food.

"Horrendous experience at Faro Airport"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Horrendous experience at Faro Airport both arriving on 22.5.2022 and departing on 29.05.22 you expect to queue but this is a new level. No queues just crowds of people being herded together, treated like animals if you do manage to speak to airport staff you are treated with distain. My self and husband travelled to Portugal in March and put it down to staff shortage and stupidly, thought it might be better but it was worse we have both agreed that we will never use this airport again.

"EU passport lanes closed"

(Ireland)

Not Verified | In a queue for passport control and only lanes open are the All Passports. EU passport lanes closed. In Ireland we treat our EU partners better than this, shame on you Portugal

"Faro airport doesn't have a smoking area"

(Andorra)

Trip Verified | Faro Airport doesn't have a smoking area despite claiming to have one on the website. 1) update the website to be correct and 2) get a smoking area. It is extremely stressful for smokers to be stuck in the airport, especially (as in my case) when one's flight is delayed, and unable to have a cigarette. Not having this space encourages people to leave it until the last minute to go through security where most of us want to ease the stress of catching a flight by getting to the departure lounge in good time. Other than this the airport is easy to navigate and would be a very well laid out building but for me the lack of a smoking area just added so much more stress to what would otherwise have been a perfectly good flying experience.

"neither accepts responsibility"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Having complained to both Ryanair and Faro airport they blame each other for the ordeal we faced. I was unable to follow this up with Faro airport as they blocked each from their Email list. Both parties acknowledge this was a bad situation but neither accepts responsibility, so beware, I can not see Faro airport changing its ways and if more than one flight number is called to a shared gate wait in the main airport building, do not descend the stairs to the underground holding area as they have no control of this process.

"no respect for Covid"

(Belgium)

Not Verified | The worst airport in Europe. Packed together in a waiting line to check in. And the most horrible thing, passport control. 2 security gates were open instead of the 10 or 12. A waiting line from there till Tokyo, with no respect for Covid. No time to have a drink, just in time to board and get out of there. Boarding is the old fashion way, standing in a fully crowded bus to drive you to the plane. A shame for Portugal!

"The staff could not cope with this scenario"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Ryanair should be ashamed of the service provided by this airport. Three check-ins open for 4 flights. An hour to wait in line for check in. Chaotic call for boarding where 2 flights were called to the same area at the same time. 400+ people in a confined space, no air, no water, some not wearing masks. In this day and age with a deadly virus circulating this was a disaster waiting to happen. The staff could not cope with this scenario which I sincerely hope is a one off but if anyone else is unfortunate to experience this then please post on here. The flight was 16.15 to London Stansted.

"lack of staff at Faro check in"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Slowest check in ever! Went straight to check in desk once it was on display board and was roughly in middle of queue. I got on the plane at 20:06 and departure was 20:10. Needless to say we had to wait until everyone was checked in and seated. Delay was nothing to do with EasyJet. Total lack of staff at Faro check in. Very stressful.
