Split Airport

✅ Verified Review | An earlier reviewer suggested that the people who gave bad reviews of this airport may not have travelled much. Well I have visited the best Changi and one of the worst Zakynthos (I understand better now) but Split takes some beating. We had to check in outside but at least under cover. A number of passengers on reaching front of queue told to come back later as checkin not open for their flight but no screens to let them know that. We checked in and through security and passport control no problems but departure lounge a disaster zone. Seating for only half the people in lounge. People sitting on floor, stairs and window sills. The queue for the ladies stretched from toilets down corridor and into the main lounge. Dread to think what would have happened if they had to evacuate in an emergency. The airport was not built to handle the number of flights/passengers it is trying to cope with. God knows what it was like in July/August.

❎ Unverified | Just awful. Packed out departure gates with nowhere to sit. No decent food, flights delayed en masse. Pickup and drop off for all car hire on the die of the road due to the airport closing and demolishing the car rental garage. Have travelled all over the world this is the worst airport ever.

❎ Unverified | Completely underdimensioned for the amount of travelers visiting this airport. Chaos in the departure entrance full of people. Chaos when you get in. Not enough seats for passengers and very difficult to even get to the cafes since the gate queues extend so far. All in all a bad experience. Seems like the airport could make big bucks on some reorganizing and better quality food.

❎ Unverified | Chaotic and overcrowded airport. Croatia is such an up and coming tourist destination, this airport needs improving ASAP. There is work going on next door which looks like it could be a terminal extension but didn't see anybody working on it. The current airport is not up to the job of servicing the amount of visitors that the area receives.

❎ Unverified | Absolutely awful. Crowded, no air conditioning, bodies strewn across the floor like a war zone. No restaurant or any hot food, a totally disastrous end to a wonderful holiday in Split. If you're ever coming here do not arrive early, you'll only be disappointed.

✅ Verified Review | Worst experience ever at Split Airport. The terminal is very dated. It was completely overcrowded, insufficient seating and insufficient notice boards. Nearly all flights running late, the staff were extremely unhelpful and very disorganized. Despite Split being the 2nd largest city in Croatia their airport is a disgrace and leaves a very bad impression of what is a beautiful country.

We arrived at Split airport mid-evening. Everything was great, there was no crowd, no long wait for luggage, people were very polite and calm, the airport was very clean, even the toilets. When it comes to shopping, it is nothing special, but you can find some nice things. There are bars where you can drink or eat something. We wanted to get from Split airport to Split center as fast as possible so we got a taxi from Split airport. The driver was cool and we got there fast. All in all it was a pleasant experience, everything went really smooth and we fell in love with Croatia.

Split airport is fine but the cafes in departure take their liberties to the extreme. I realise this is what all airports do but to charge over 100kuna for 2 awful sandwiches and vending machine coffee is bad enough (it should cost around 50kuna) but then if paying in euros they almost double the price. It really gave a bad last impression of a very positive time in Split. Also what exactly is the difference between white coffee and coffee with milk? 4 kunas apparently. Moral is don't eat or drink in departure lounges if you can at all help it (which we unfortunately couldn't.)

This airport is absolutely fine. Was worried after reading all of the bad reviews. I think maybe these people haven't traveled much. Really fast customs, clean and friendly airport. The runway was fine not bumpy at all. The only downside is when leaving there aren't many seats for all of the people, but you get this at a lot of busy airports.

Split airport is way to small - left on 13 August and the departure hall was packed. We had a hard time finding a small spot to sit on the floor (not kidding). Croatia is a fantastic country, but Split airport is not, due to its limited size.
