    This place, really is not pleasant when it is busy. Number 1 airport lounges have now opened at 2 locations I believe which makes it more bareable....

    Gets worse and worse each year. Feels like Luton Airport now.

    Leave your car up to 4 days in the parking lot… it’ll be cheaper than taking a cab!

    Use one of the 4 other London airports. Since the takeover, this airport has become the pits. 200% increase in car park charges, reduced bus services and over an hours wait for luggage.

    Hates the long waiting line at the immigration counter esp for non-EU passport holders. Have the courtesy to open up more than 2 counters, will you?

    Hate coming here. Too many unreliable connections. No money saved either by the time one pays all of the charges.

    Avoid a late arrival if at all possible. The passport gates always have a massive queue. Airport needs some serious upgrades. Not fit for purpose.

    Worst airport design. Make you walk in circles after security, trying to sell you things. And after, you still don’t see your gate. Also you need to put your liquids into plastic bags. #plasticwaste

    Ways prefer this over LGW and Heathrow. It's cheap to get her by national rail.

    Don't buy the plastic bags for liquids. Security hand them out for free!

    Easyjet: Yeah, take your buggy/pram down to the plane but neither airport nor airline staff will help carrying it downstairs at the gate.

    You're only allowed liquids in a sealable bag of a certain size now. But then you buy as many as you like in the departure lounge and no

    In the orange short stay park it says 2.50£ for 30 minutes... But they actually charged me 5.30£ for 15 minutes parking. Be aware...

    Rude immigration officers questioning why did u come for a holiday! They prefer you keep your head down and listen to whatever they say , or they say ur telling him how to do his job! What a welcome

    Expect to queue at least 45 minutes at UK Border Control if you're from a non-EU country.

    Security v. slow, so if you're running late go directly to security door 1 (far left) and for a £5 fee, you can skip queue.
