Tivat Airport

✅ Trip Verified | The worst of the worst. Plenty flights delayed. No communication from any staff. Totally overpriced coffee shop. Long lines going nowhere. An excuse for an airport. The first and last time I will visit this excuse of an airport.

✅ Trip Verified | It’s fine to arrive at this airport, but departing from it is horrendous! We arrived 3 hours early for our flight and only just made the flight due to horrible crowds, no staff or organisation, absolutely no visible system in place. The airport had far too many flights than it can actually cope with so it’s a dreadful experience. Try to avoid by flying from a different airport.

Not Verified | This is a seriously bad airport, honestly the worst I have ever visited. It is far too small for the number of flights it serves, with poor facilities. All staff I dealt with were fine, it's the physical building and facilities that are lacking. The loo is dirty and smelly, the café too small and had run out of a lot of drinks and foods on the menu. The space for queuing for security and passport control is hot, cramped and crowded, as is the airside space. I loved Tivat town, but please sort out the airport!

Not Verified | My recent visit to Tivat Airport left me utterly disappointed and frustrated, to say the least. From the moment I arrived until the moment I finally boarded my flight, the experience was nothing short of a chaotic nightmare. Understaffed and Overcrowded Upon entering the airport, it became immediately apparent that the facility was severely understaffed. There was only one person checking flight tickets, leading to an outrageously long queue that snaked through the terminal. To exacerbate matters, there was also just one queue for both hand luggage and personal control, causing massive congestion and delays. No Relief from Crowds and Heat The airport quickly filled with travelers waiting in line, and the atmosphere became stifling. There was a complete lack of adequate air conditioning or ventilation, making it unbearable to stand in the packed queues. The lack of seating aggravated the situation, leaving elderly passengers and families with young children particularly vulnerable and uncomfortable. Unprofessional and Unhelpful Staff Adding insult to injury, the airport staff were shockingly unprofessional and downright rude. They displayed a complete lack of courtesy and seemed indifferent to the plight of passengers struggling with the chaotic conditions. Requests for assistance were met with dismissive gestures or simply ignored, further deepening the sense of frustration among travelers. Overall Impression In summary, my experience at Tivat Airport was one of the worst I have encountered in my travels. The combination of understaffing, overcrowding, lack of basic amenities, and unprofessional staff created an environment that was not only unpleasant but also distressing. For an international airport, these conditions are simply unacceptable and reflect poorly on the management and operational standards. If you have the option to avoid Tivat Airport or choose an alternative route, I strongly recommend doing so.

✅ Trip Verified | Tivat Airport is a nightmare. Small, hardly any staff, overcrowded, hot and no wifi. It took nearly 2 hours of solid queuing with only 1 check in desk, 1 person checking passports. Unable to move due to the entire airport full of passengers. Avoid if possible.

✅ Trip Verified | I would like to thank two ladies at the Check In who were simply awesome. With hundreds of people around them - they saw I was very late (due to traffic, my fault completely). They conducted my registration and took me through lines I was late was my flight to Brussels Thank you very much Tivat Airport.

Not Verified | What a dump. Queues going in all directions. From outside you have to get through the queue to security to access the gates. Your own boarding pass is not acceptable they throw it back at you and give you one of theirs. People queued 10 wide to get through security manned by 1 person. The gate number on the boarding pass is not the one used. The airport departure lounge was pouring with rain inside. No information and nowhere to get out of the way.

✅ Trip Verified | Tivat Airport is the busier of the two international airports in Montenegro. It serves the coastal area of the country. The airport seems to have two terminals of which I only saw one. The airport caters mostly for charter flights from European countries as well as Russia and Israel. On arrival, all passengers can make their way to the terminal. In Tivat, no buses are used. The baggage claim went pretty quickly, but they do not adhere to the priority labeling on the baggage. Within 5 minutes after leaving the aeroplane, I was outside. A week later, I checked in early for my Lufthansa flight to Munich, so there was no crowd at the check-in counter and at the security and passport control either. At check-in, I was misinformed about the possibility of using the airport lounge. It proved that Lufthansa – as one of the few airlines serving Tivat Aiport – has no contract with the lounge. The things you can do in the waiting area are very limited. There is one large duty-free shop in the departure hall but no café or snack bar where people can buy some food or refreshments, which is a real shame. However, I later noticed that some fellow passengers had gone through security control with their drinks, which means Montenegro’s authorities do not stop you from taking drinks from outside on board. Good to know for the next time! Boarding went swiftly and again all passengers were asked to walk the short way to the aeroplane.
