Kosice Airport

Few years ago a new terminal was built. Although it looks relatively good for a small airport it is hard to get anywhere from here since it is expensive for airlines to operate here. There are only two small duty free shops with limited offer and enough place for sitting. If you are flying outside of Schengen area you will go through the old terminal that looks terrible.

Small but very pleasant. Nice staff and decent facilities. Better than any of the larger airports.

Arrived to KSC on a SkyEurope Airlines domestic flight from Bratislava on one of the last days in March 2006. The airport was modern but at the same time still very small - the baggage reclaim area was just a short walk away from the aircraft you could easily follow ramp activity and your luggage on its way from the aircraft through the large windows and you didn't have to wait long. There is a bus service to downtown Kosice but I don't think that they connect with arriving and departing flights - I took a taxi to my hotel instead. On the landside I noticed that - despite the size of the airport and the relatively small number of flights handled - the car rental desks were staffed (and not just equipped with a direct-dial phone to some downtown office or so). I would not hesitate to use Kosice airport again.
