By the time we got off the plane, use the restroom and went downstairs. Our golf clubs were waiting for us.

The boarding gates are close by each other, and there's a few places to eat (the AMT coffee has good Americanos and croissants!). There's a nice duty free area too. The arrivals area is pretty much next to departures, but it also has a coffee place (with draft beers!), as well as a shop. You do have to go outside when boarding flights, so wear a jacket when it's cold!! Easy airport to navigate, and the staff are really friendly!

Harbour Flights must have been pleased with events in Cobh as the landings, before quite a large crowd in the sunshine, went smoothly before the little plane tied up at the pontoon of the Quays Bar and Restaurant. The company is based in Mountshannon in the midlands. Athlone and Killarney are other proposed lake landings while harbours targeted included Cobh/Cork, Waterford, Foynes/Limerick, Belfast, Dublin and Galway. Harbour Flights concept is to open up all of the lakes, waterways and estuaries around the 32 counties and develop a new and vibrant tourism market.

The airport is quite small, so there is not a huge number of bags and passengers to keep track of. The bags always are unloaded from the airplanes very very quickly, I have never had to wait more than 5 mins from hitting the baggage hall to walking out the front door. The computer systems though seem to be unreliable, as around 80% of the time they are down and passengers have to wait to check in as the girls have to check lists by hand and give stickers instead of printed boarding cards.
