"the worst airport I've been to in any sizable European city"
M Karamis (Greece)
✅ Trip Verified | Almost no power outlets and none next to seats at the gate, wifi not working on both my visits here, hard uncomfortable chairs, no AC and stuffy atmosphere, limited and expensive food and restaurants that shut down around 9pm despite flights departing all the way past midnight, barely any bathrooms (few and far between, hidden in long corridors). How this place has a rating as high as it does is beyond me, easily the worst airport I've been to in any sizable European city.

"The wifi was the worst I’ve experienced in any airport recently"
N Visser (Netherlands)
✅ Trip Verified | The airport looks nice and easy to get to. However the toilets were mostly clogged or no toilet paper. It smelled terribly. Big lines inside the WC area, no one we could address to solved the problem. It was absolutely disgusting and embarrassing. The wifi was the worst I’ve experienced in any airport recently, average speed was 1Mb/s. Was impossible to do any work while waiting, same for my co-workers. We all ended up using our phones hotspot.

"terrible experience both times"
L Corr (France)
Not Verified | I used Porto Airport to transit between 2 Easyjet flights between France and Madeira island. They advertise this airport as "self connecting friendly airport". Understand, that if you need like me to connect between 2 low cost flights and get your luggage there and re-register for the connecting flight, they make things easier. Well, it was a fail. Both for going and return. Each time we had 2 hours to get our luggage, register it at the counter, pass security again, and go to the gate. We thought we had time to have lunch there but we were wrong. It's a base for Easyjet in Portugal, but they have only 4 counters or so for registering for all their flights. The line is terribly long and just had time to catch our ongoing flight. For return, it was way worse. The registering counter had experienced a brownout. Well, it can happen. But: no information from the airport staff for 1 hour and a half, no assistance to go through security in express, you're just on your own to catch your plane. Of course, no time to have lunch one again. Well, terrible experience both times. Otherwise, it's clean and modern. Not too much waiting time for the luggage. Embarking / disembarking is without bridge and messy.

"It was all a real mess"
B Aubert (France)
✅ Trip Verified | What a mess. Personnel were super slow and inefficient, there was not enough security which made it even worse. I almost lost my flight even arriving 2 hours before departing times because they couldn’t manage to take the situation under control. To get to the security check the line was literally arriving outside the airport, without control or anything. It was all a real mess and the personnel weren’t even friendly considering the stress that we were experiencing.

"one of the best in Europe"
Hélder Sousa (Portugal)
Not Verified | The airport is modern, clean and organized, comfortable and usually without too many people. For me, one of the best in Europe. Porto, Portugal

"poorly-equipped regional airport"
M Lee (Portugal)
Not Verified | I almost missed my outbound flight because of a problem on their system not recognizing my passport/boarding pass. I was absolutely shocked when I was told: "we are only used to dealing with Portuguese/Brazilian passports" (and I am quoting!). I do not recommend for international flights or transit. A poorly-equipped regional airport at the very best.

"Worst airport food in Europe"
Liam Pluck (Ireland)
Not Verified | Worst airport food in Europe and over priced. Passport electronic control (departure) doesn’t recognise the ‘card’ version of the Irish passport. The building is impressive, plenty of seating and friendly staff to answer queries. The airport Metro system is superb with helpers to explain the ticketing options. Apart from the food gripe, this airport is way ahead of Lisbon.

"thank you to the travel assistance team"
Shirley Roche (United Kingdom)
Not Verified | A special thank you to the travel assistance team. They were so helpful, cheerful and informative. Without them we would not be able to travel. Our very, very grateful thanks. Our 'carers' did everything for us. Amazing service.

"a below average experience"
R Marston (United Kingdom)
✅ Trip Verified | We had been told good things about Porto airport but it did not live up to expectations. The signage is poor, both inside the airport buildings and out - this is the only international airport I have seen that does not signpost car rental returns. On the return journey we had to be there very early and only one cafe was open - Cafe Central, I think it was called. The coffee was good but service slow and unfriendly, even though one of our party spoke Portuguese. We avoided a very long queue for check-in because we had easy Jet speedy boarding passes but the passage through security involved an unavoidable long, snaking queue. Our flight was delayed, not the fault of the airport but there was no announcement until one hour into the delay and we only found out what was happening by talking to an easy Jet crew member. All in all a below average experience.

"Extremely long queues"
N Nataliia (Germany)
Not Verified | Terrible. Extremely long queues, unprofessional airport personnel who are sending people around and this creates bigger crowds and longer lines. WC’s dirty, the Internet doesn’t work properly. Why do I have to run through the terminal, searching for my gate, like a slave, if I arrived 2.15 hours before the departure?!
