I suppose the only thing going for this airport is that it's small. We landed with Jet2 holidays em route to our hotel at the Port Aventura theme Park. I previously reviewed that hotel but my Yelp review and photos have vanished.
I'd forgotten its one of those places where the plane parks up hundreds of yards from the terminal building so it's a bit of a walk pulling cases just to get to the terminal itself.
Despite being a small place it took quite a while to get through passport control so free movement doesn't really exist for Europeans within Europe. It was also quite a wait for the luggage to appear Inside the arrival part the terminal looks pretty clean, bright, modern and all rather pleasing.
Now a different reality bites on the way out as once through a reasonably polite, efficient, security set up at departures you effectively go into a dank, grey, pretty crummy waiting area that bears no resemblance to the arrivals area.
Here you can look forward to poor & uncomfortable seating and if this isn't bad enough one can queue up to indulge in fairly poor overpriced food & drinks. Thankfully our flights out were on time as I like to spend the least amount of time here as possible. read more
