    Nice airport with duty free, souvenir shops, Starbucks as well as a restaurant + bar after security. Perfect to stock up on Tayto crisps from WHSmith before your flight - the Salt & Vinegar are my fav

    The airport taxis at the rank outside will charge at least double what you'd pay a local firm. Call Value Cabs (02890809080) when you land, or there's a freephone by the left-most exit.

    Follow the signs to the toilets and you'll find a reasonable amount of seating. Much better than Belfast International!

    Get there early to avoid disappointment. Like what I did this evening. Go me! (bmi great as always!) Some shops and cafes appeared to be closed - odd for 8pm on a Saturday?

    Small, Compact, Efficient, yet a busy International Airport. Like it here!

    Excellent location, as only a short distance from city centre. Big enough departure lounge and friendly staff

    Departures is pretty small considering the amount of people so is very busy. There is a severe shortage of seats!

    If you're leaving for longer than a few weeks, do yourself a favour and have a pint of the black stuff. It tastes rank everywhere else...

    Like all airports the parking food and drink are over priced to a captive audience. Still it has now grown up as an airport from the old portacabin days

    If you are leaving on a weekday morning allow plenty of time for security checks. And try and be as prepared as the commuters :-)

    There is very little seating once you get through security, so grab it quick!

    Small and easy to navigate. Good shops for local travel

    Free wifi available - bagels in O'Brien's sandwich bar make a good breakfast.

    True for all airports but this one in particular - arrive in plenty of time as Flybe checkins were under staffed and the security area was under pressure

    Perfectly placed airport - Less than a tenner for a cab into the city centre.

    Changed layout. Now you can’t avoid going through duty free. Terrible crowds outside departure gates. Do yourself a favour and make a small purchase in the restaurant to get a seat.

    Don't know what people are talking about security delays. Busy peak holiday season Sunday afternoon, security took 9 minutes end to end. Seems ok to me!

    When you depart dont tell them you flying with flybe so they wont oblige you to check in your luggage

    Convenient for getting to/from Belfast, but poor lounge area with lack of good eating options.

    Don't go near WH Smith in the lounge if your short on time- by the time they are done trying to upsell to you, you'll have missed your flight!

    The BA lounge is no more and the fast track mixes regular passengers in. Rather strange and inefficient airport.

    Feels tiny when flying from Heathrow. Taxi office just inside the doors.

    Security even make you remove (hard to get off) gold bangles - seems a bit excessive!

    Use BMI check in machines to select seats for your whole flight on star alliance.

    Find o'briens in the departure lounge it's well hidden therefore always quiet. Also better toilets are there too

    Passengers expected to wear masks but security & swissport apparently do not.

    One of the main sets of seats doesn't even have a TV screen showing departures. Should be looked into I think.
