Quite a pity they're going to be adding further charges to pick up / drop off. Due to the overall low demand of the airport I can't see this being overly lucrative for them in the grand scheme. They should probably work on making the airport more attractive to people rather than less?

Parking was close easily walkable to the terminal. The airport is small so easy to navigate around with good facilities. I must give a special note to all the special assistance crew .For a small airport outbound and inboard they couldn't do enough absolutely brilliant way better than any other airport so thanks very much for being so helpful with my wife .An overall good experience compared to other UK and overseas airports will use again and again .highly recommended

Always support Cardiff Wales, parking facility and staff always helpful reception and security efficient and the departure room and bar facilities are clean and staff overall great. Biggest issue with return to UK early morning is limited baggage crews meaning a 55min wait this is a regular occurrence and baggage staff are quite rude and could not give a damn, probably short staffed and no job satisfaction. Big shame as i embrace the small airport feel, will continue to use this airport however any future early morning flights will use Bristol.

I have never seen a smaller and emptier airport than Cardiff. When I arrived, my plane was the only one on the entire runway and when I returned to Spain it was the same. The hallways were all empty. There are plenty of seats at this airport because there are hardly any flights or people taking planes from there. My return flight was the only one that left all afternoon and in the morning there had been only one flight to Amsterdam. Not many Spaniards come to Cardiff. On my Ryanair flight, I was the only one Spanish. The others were all English and there in Cardiff I didn't hear anyone speaking Spanish either

Cardiff Airport is a small airport which is disappointing as it is the only Airport in the Welsh capital. You can get some flights to destinations in Europe and it also offers some connecting flights to destinations in Africa and so on. Sometimes, flights tend to be more expensive compared to, let's say, Bristol airport. Dropping off is free here and picking up is a pound for the first few minutes.

Great little airport but could be so much better with some tweaking. As well as getting more varied flights in Cardiff Airport could do with having less extortionate parking fees and a pharmacy based shop such as Boots or Superdrug, also we suggest having a decent Costa with better opening hours serving decent coffee for passengers on early morning flights, ideally get a Starbucks in like Bristol. We all know coffees on planes aren't great and uncaffeinated early fliers are happier with better coffee in them. Let's improve Cardiff Airport and bring in more / happier customers

Very small, easy to pass through security etc however, I personally would never fly from here again! We got to the airport on time our flight was delayed but we were never told it was delayed. Just kept telling us the gate will be opening shortly which was a big fat lie as we later discovered it was still on it's way from wherever it was coming from! This happened to us on the way back too! For a small airport that hardly has any flights running I was expecting a smoother journey! Absolutely nothing to do here, duty free was smaller than my back garden (which really isn't big)! Never flying from here again no matter how much cheaper it is. This was on a painful experience!! Lesson learned next time just pay a little extra because this airport just isn't an airport!

What a pleasure it is to fly from Cardiff Airport. The airport is clean and very well sign posted. The security staff are absolutely brilliant and so helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Plenty of food and drinks are available before your flights as well. This is by far the best airport to fly from. It's not too busy and comfortable. I can't wait until Qatar Airways starts flying from there again soon. A lovely experience again at Cardiff Airport, so calm and well organised, so much better than Bristol Airport by far. Well, after my experience today, 18th July 2024, I would say it was a total disaster getting through security. They were completely and utterly useless and so slow, and if being honest, ridiculous. They pit my bags through security and decided to pull me to one side for extra checks, which I don't mind at all as it is for security of us all after all. But they decided to use a new guy to security on me with a supposedly supervisor explaining what to do. I appreciate that we are all at some point in life new to something and need training, but this was a joke beyond jokes. I have used the same manbag for the past 10 years or so for travelling and its never been so stripped of it contents like this previous and I never empty it after previous trips as I just add my wallet and phone to it when going away, my book and pens etc just stay in the bag all the time. Well it was that bad that they were even taking the tops off my pens, they took 90% of the contents out of my bag and then sent it back through a scanning machine and then bring it back and empty the other 10% of the contents out. They found absolutely nothing to stop me going through security. Now if they were doing their job properly, why did they leave a small tube of toothpaste go through and also a small tube of spray aftershave, these realistically should have been put into a clearing with the rest of the 100ml liquids. They were totally inadequate and just wasting my time and there's and for what, training, well that was a waste of time really as they did not do the job properly and it was a total joke. I did always prefer Cardiff over Bristol, but now I will have a serious rethink as this has never happened to me in many trips flying from either Bristol or Cardiff. We then wonder why Cardiff is on the decline. We'll if people get treated like that and waste 20 to 25 mins and not do the job properly after all, why do it. To say I am very disappointed in Cardiff Airport and the way I was treated is an understatement.

Went to Cardiff to fly with Vueling. The airport is small, has two security scanners. The staff are so rude, really strict on how many liquids you take through. When questioned I had too many, the security man stated mascara was a liquid. He almost had pleasure telling me to sort it out and in one bag. Really petty 🤣 The only good thing about the airport is that it has as a Greggs, hence 2 stars and not 1.

Why do they bother to run this vanity project. We arrive back on a delayed holiday flight at 1.30am, get through passport control after an endless walk and then wait half an hour before the baggage carousel begins to deliver the luggage. Kids tired and crying, adults totally frustrated. I was informed that the delay was because the plane had been parked at the furthest point from the terminal so there was a long way for the vehicles to travel with the luggage and there were only three men working at that time. Is there no planning at all for the convenience and comfort of customers or is the airport run only for the convenience of the airport itself? One plane lands in the early hours of the morning and the airport management is unable to cope. Far from making Wales appear a sophisticated, modern country to visit, it makes us look the complete opposite.

Check in a bit slow but have come to expect that these days with more staff trying to sort out automatic bag drop than staff managing the checking. Security a bit slow with the older style scanners. Duty free lounge spacious and clean, perfume prices similar to fragrance shop uk. Booze much cheaper . Bar and Kitchen expensive for food and drinks £3.45 for a cuppa, £9 for a pint. We took our own sandwiches and bought water from WHS. This served us well on our flight too. Nice airport but needs more flights to give it a chance.

Easy and quiet airport to maneuver. Under some minor construction right now, but there are signs everywhere in Welsh and English. Had a morning flight at 945am to Amsterdam, so I had to be in the airport for 745am. There is one main terminal for all check-ins. Staff were pleasant, and check-in was easy to drop off bags. Because we had a connecting flight to Bergen, our bags were going all way thru to our end destination. I would suggest checking with attendant to make sure and ask if that is the way for your connections because some do require to collect your bags and then re checkin if you have seperate tickets. Suggestion -all small liquids, toothpaste, hand sanitizers should be in a small ziploc. You have to pull them out seperately from your hand luggage. I saw a gentleman who had a walking cane which had to go thru the security scanner and they provided him with one so he could continue to have standing support. Before going theu to security there is a cafe called Gregg's with pastries and already made omlettes bacon and sausage. Coffee/decaf and tea avail as well.  However there are other options when you go thru security check such as Tap + Brew, WH Smith, Duty free shopping with great souvenirs. Gates are identified about 15-20 mins before boarding.

The greatest attribute that Cardiff Wales Airport has is that it is never busy but has all the facilities any other airport has. Bar facility, coffee shop, duty free, general shop and a huge lounge. No queues ever. One downside is that sometimes you get off a plane and if it is raining you are going to get wet. It also involves a little forward planning to get to. This airport has everything going for it. How long the Welsh Government can sustain what is a money pit I do not know but the staff need better senior management to get more business to this corner of Wales. Take advantage of it while you can. Everything is quick here.

Julie from Swissport has single-handedly let Cardiff airport down massively. I’ve never come across someone on such a power trip trying to make all the priority customers pay for their luggage again. She is nothing but a bully! After showing her how my suitcase (that I travel with all of the time) fits fine on the Ryanair bag check area she let me off but she proceeded to threatened me to never come to Cardiff airport with ‘that’ suitcase again. Don’t worry Julie, myself and many of the passengers on flight FR635 to Dublin most certainly won’t be travelling through Cardiff airport ever again. What an unnecessary end to our fabulous weekend away to Cardiff!

Nice small airport, so it's a lot less stressful than some of the others we travel from. I've docked 2 stars because I travel a lot without hold luggage, and I have been stopped twice for having too many liquids in my hand luggage. This means I've had to throw items in the bin to get through security. I wouldn't mind if I'm in the wrong, but I'm always within the legal limit (under 100ml each, no more than 1 litre total and in a clear bag no bigger than 20cm x 20cm). I never have the same issue flying from Bristol, who seem fine with the allowances. Sad case that I am, I even checked the allowances on the CAA and Govt website. Anyway, I hope they sort this out. Maybe it's a training issue....OR a scam to get you to buy more in the shop before you board 😆
