Gothenburg-landvetter Airport

I have been through this airport about five times in the past year. Today my flight was four hours delayed so I had plenty of time to try some of the airport facilities. One thing is for sure do not ever arrive here hungry unless you have a thing for shrimp sandwiches. I have never been to an airport of this size with such an appallingly poor range of restaurants and cafes. There are about three dining options airside and another two or three air-side and they all serve shrimp sandwiches and that is pretty much it! Is it too much to ask for some proper hot food? The airport is doing well when it comes to passenger flows through security waiting time at passport control and at the luggage belt.

Basic sort of non descript airport not a lot going on however the internet is a saving grace. The internet kiosks are all about and very cheap and help the time fly by. We used them in both Gothenburg and Stockholm and it made all the difference.

I liked Gothenburg's main airport not to be confused with City Airport its smaller local rival. The main airport has shops staff friendly and the seats are plenty and staff kept me fully informed. The baggage was handled very quickly on both occasions by the time i got arrivals the baggage was on the belt amazing. The shops had plenty of novelty items and plenty of food which kept me entertained and full.

Ryanair into Gothenburg City airport. The airport is small clean modern but very basic. Having said that they processed passengers quickly and efficiently through the airport. It has a clean reasonably priced cafe offering hot meals. The airport is situated in a green field site 15km north of Gothenburg. I am not sure how easy it is get to and from town by public transport especially for the late flights.

Gothenburg has a relatively newer airport terminal and is efficient to use. In fact the terminal building itself seems way to big almost like an airplane hangar. But this is not a problem per se. It will not however win any architectural awards with its standard space frame structure. Arriving by air one is greeted by multilingual signage and the baggage claim is easy to find and fast. There are at least two currency exchange booths but a definite shortage of ATMs the only one I found did not accept "PLUS" or "CIRRUS" bank cards. There was little in the shopping and food amenities as this is a destination airport and rarely a connection one. Transport in the city center was uneventful but efficient in a modern airport bus with plenty of luggage space. Overall GOT is an easy to use quiet airport that works well for this city of 500000.
