Gdansk Airport

✅ Trip Verified | Small and maybe because of that, everything was efficiently organized. Security staff at the gates polite but strict. Cleanliness of all public areas is above lots of airports.

A modern, clean efficient airport that puts others to shame (Luton take note). Seamless arrival, fast retrieval of luggage and the only tiny criticism would be that the taxi rank wasn't that well signposted. Departure was the same- speedy check in, Security very quick but very thorough. Spotless large departure area. Plenty of seating with great views of the runway. If required free 15 minutes WI-Fi which was a bit mean but better than nothing. This is a new terminal but Wizz Air still departs from the old original gates which are a bit dreary in comparison but still no big deal. Wish though they used the air bridges as boarding in the snow was not much fun. A very good airport.

Have been flying in and out here on Air Berlin from and to Berlin Tegel and I was very impressed by this small but very modern Terminal. Big Check-In Area good connection to the city center either by bus or taxi and fast luggage dispatch. After the security checks there are different cafes restaurants and a duty free shops to bridge the time till your flight. There's also Wi-Fi availability in the security area.

Very impressed with new terminal having used the old terminal a few years ago. No queue for passport control on arrival all lanes open was through in a couple of minutes. On departure security was quick terminal building very pleasant not many shops or places to eat but it is still a regional airport. Look forward to passing through again.

Arrived into old terminal which appears to be for LCC airlines now. Distinctive new girder and glass new terminal. Easy check in quick and friendly security. Several shops and a pricey cafe airside. Used air bridge.

I departed from Gdansk airport in June 2012. The departure wing is new (arrival is still old). On the land side only two places to eat no main meals. At Coffee Corner the staff ranged from ok to rude they seemed to disappear into the back room very often. My check-in at Wizz Air was fast since I had already done web check-in. Security check queue was long but fast - now there are 6 lanes I think. The usual check everything including taking of your belt. Airside one restaurant expensive (to be expected) but quite fast service. Departure gate was changed at the last minute which annoyed some people. No aerobridge we all walked to the plane. Fortunately whether was OK.

A very small regional type airport trying unsuccessfully to perform the role of an international airport. On arrival there is a very small check in area totally inadequate when more than one flight is being checked in at the same time as happens every Sunday morning when Wizz air flights to London Luton and Liverpool are being checked in together along with a flight to somewhere in Scandinavia. Having checked in you must then go upstairs and join the Queue to pass through Security. Once again this is totally inadequate there is only one body scanner for everyone to pass through and because the security people insist on you removing your belt and shoes this can take an age when more than one flight is leaving at the same time from the 2 gates beyond ! Once through Security you will find yourself in a small departure area again totally inadequate for the amount of people waiting there to go onto 2 different flights. In the Winter it is at best unbearable. In the Summer it's horrendous as the sun penetrates the glass and the temperature exceeds 40 degrees with no air! In this waiting area there is a small expensive duty free shop and a very small cafe bar. The seating area is once again inadequate.

A nice simple no frills airport I returned to London Heathrow via openhagen so used the International side for departures. Fast security small area after security with a small but adequate business lounge. Free wifi comfortable seat drinks and nibbles freely available.

Domestic flight to WAW evening departure with LOT. Check-in fast and efficient but when multiple departures are called together the check-in area simply cannot cope with the queues as the ground floor level just doesn't have enough floor space to deal with hundreds of passengers and cases. Most of the airport's facilities are on the first floor. Main criticism is the lack of seating before security which probably explains why everyone seems to crowd around the windows to watch take-offs & landings! Security is quick efficient and stress- free. There are several cafes/bars/shops before and after security; nothing spectacular but adequate for the average passenger's needs (prices weren't hugely elevated either which makes a nice change). Avoid the taxis and buy a bus ticket for 2.50 PLN which gets you to or from the city centre in 30 minutes (bus 210 which runs 1/2 hourly and stops near the main bus/rail station). A small regional airport with friendly courteous staff and an excellent gateway to a great city.

There are insufficient toilets for the number of people that pass through the airport. There were only two separate toilets far apart from each other; one was not usable because there was no light and it was pitch black inside. They both had a huge washbasin to pass around to reach the cubicle so people had to queue outside as it was not easy to pass in front of the basin when leaving or entering the toilet. It is a stupid design for an airport where generally one needs to make a quick entry and exit. There is no space to tidy ones hair or to cream your lips and no consideration given to the fact that passengers with an emergency call to a toilet have very little chance of getting relief in time. This is an important oversight as passengers need to be comfortable before a flight or before continuing their journey which may be some distance. Also there is little if any ventilation in the toilet area.
