Friedrichshafen Airport

The airport is very small with just about 0.5 million passengers a year. The few check-in desks are enough service is fast no queues travel agency's most big car rental company's have a desk and restaurants and visitors terrace with a nice view are available.

FDH is an airport I use quite often and it is generally fine. But facilities at the airport are not geared towards business users; for example there is no business lounge. It was well served by Eurowings from Frankfurt until the beginning of 2005 with 4 ATR72 flights per day each way. But since LH Regional have taken over the service there are only 3 flights per day each way whose reliability timing and frequency are woeful.

A typical Ryanair airport. Small and miles from anywhere (although perhaps suitable for the Alps and skiing access or unless you have relatives nearby!) However it meant that from the plane to the car hire desk was about 50 metres and we were on our way less than 20 minutes after landing. If you need a train the station is literally 30 metres from the terminal door. It's not an architectural gem the seating is limited and hard but it has a cafe and a shop and it's efficient and has what you need. The staff were friendly and allowed us to board first on our return to the UK as my wife had a broken hand in plaster. As long as the plane is on time it does the job well
