Do you know, Yelp asked me what I thought of this airport. I have reviewed it on Yelp before, but…read moreits evaporated so maybe it's as well Yelp aren't asking what I think of Yelp and if they did it's at two stars now due to two things - not enough words are allowed for detailed reviews and vanishing work. I think this airport is wonderful and the staff who work very hard are marvellous but we pass through and I don't know if they Rio folks off like Belfast's two airports. On arrival we were met by police despite travelling internally within the UK - Belfast being the departure place, so go figure. If I had to guess it's the risk of undesirables crossing the Irish border North going into UK by the back door is why. They were polite and fast, processing everyone promptly. The luggage was out fast and it's a two minute walk to get a taxi and £26 to go from the airport to the main seaport to pick up a cruise. We booked the same taxi service back and it surged a great. All done automatically as they link the journeys so when you call to return you just hit 1 and a taxi is dispatched. Similarly return dropping luggage is relatively easy security a courteous breeze and there's a Starbucks. I'm sure there's also a lounge but we couldn't be bothered as we hadn't long to wait for our flight.

Easy to get to and through this airport! Not the cleanest looking place BUT a whole lot better than…read morethe craziness of (LHR)London Heathrow! The staff at (SOU) Southampton is mostly friendly and efficient! Got through security and to the boarding gate within 10mins which is better than most airports in the United Kingdom. Due to the efficency of this place, I hope to fly through this airport again!
