This might be the smallest, easiest airport in all of Europe!? It's certainly the easiest I've been to in my several years living and traveling here. With direct flights from London City, it's hard to go wrong!
The reason for this being, of course, that Antwerp is located very close to Brussels and as such has access to their mega airport with all the international flights. So Antwerp's airport is small, very manageable and feels like a flashback to the 70's!
Some quick tips:
*City Jet check in opens 60 minutes before departure.
*You'll actually just check in with the other airline desk -- which was confusing, but again it's not a big deal since there is no one at this airport.
*There is one food/drink establishment BEFORE security. It's a bar/restaurant with coffee machines (average), but its fine. If you find yourself there very early, you should post up here with a paper for awhile - after security is very boring and there is nothing but chairs and a vending machine.
*there is a toilet past security, but its small. Use the ones in the non-secure areas before entering.
*upon arrival to Antwerp you can prebook a taxi but they kind of show up randomly at exactly the right time anyway so you probably won't need to. A taxi to the city centre runs about 22 euros.
Very easy in and out of this airport. These are small planes as its a small airport, but it gets you into lovely Antwerp! read more
