Always try to support our airport. It is improving with more flights added regularly. Was nice to see it busy for a change.Upvoted Feb 14
Douwe de VriesNovember 24, 2016What a great airport! Super quiet, but still some nice bars to wait for your flight.
BrunelJanuary 3, 2015There is a cafe befor going through customs. Duty free area is small but tidy. There is a store, WHSmith, cafe and executive lounge. There is also a small play area for small kids next to the lounge.
Very efficient long term parking with prebooked parking in long-term parking 2. The barrier open automatically using number plate recognition
Sit.comJanuary 19, 2014Do you know that there is a wonderful express bus service from Cardiff to the airport, and only for £5 (£8 return).- They just opened a brand new waiting area. Not sure how justified this move is though given how quiet the airport is. 😅
During summer months security checks can take a long long time. Check in early or make sure you can use the fast track facility.
Andrew StephensApril 30, 2013Quiet airport but in the wrong place to the west of Cardiff and beyond Barry. One advantage though - no lengthy queues and delays for luggage
Mark MagnanteOctober 24, 2011Don't rely on public transport to take you into Cardiff - bus/trains only leave once an hour, if there's 2 of you may be cheaper to take a taxi
Jeffrey-Ryan B.October 28, 2014One of the two ways to arrive or depart Cardiff, if you do not drive or take rail into the city you will fly into Cardiff xx
New Media Travel ManagerJanuary 28, 2012In Wales, must try the Castle Cottage hotel in Harlech. Amazing food
Sean RankinJanuary 20, 2011Look out if you get S2 on your boarding card it means you are in for a full search. Takes up to 25 minutes!
Alexandros KambasSeptember 21, 2013Get ready to get wet if someone's picking you up an it's raining. Surely there can be a better welcome to Wales than this.- New Media Travel ManagerJanuary 28, 2012In northern Wales, stay at the incredible inn Tyddyn Llan ( tdhin klan) in the tiny town of Llandrillo
No toilets until after immigration, charge £2 to use a cart that was free at Dulles-wanted to exchange $24 they offered £8 or 3:1 v 1.6:1 and bag tagged 'priority' by KLM came out dead last. #epicfail
Caro PhilApril 28, 2013Wifi is not free ; 5 for an hour and buses to the city centre only run every 45 mins.
Michael Fr. StrømbergSeptember 16, 2012Stay away from Echo bar. Dirty forks. Terrible food. Tried a cooked hamburger and chips which were not properly cooked. My friend had a pizza tasting like and old newspaper
Graham CoxMay 7, 2011Border agency staff seem to value officiousness over friendliness. Surprising for Wales
Gareth KitchenerFebruary 21, 2011Avoid dropping off loved ones, they charge a quid even for a quick in-out!
Reminds me of Queen Street in Cardiff city centre. Lots closed, poor facilities, dirty tables...
Areej WilliamsJuly 24, 2011Don't order burgers in the Echo Bar it is really not worth it!! The chips are great though!!!
- Mike BrownFebruary 10, 2011Steve, it's an airport!! I don't go there to shop. How are the planes? ;-)

"One of the best airport lounges. Nice croissants and cereals for breakfast and wide range of drinks including coffee of many styles. Good Wi-Fi: ask the reception for the code."
