I have now visited this airport 3 times. Yes, it is very basic. On arriving flights luggage pickup is very prompt. Same as with most other airports, by the time you've walked from the aircraft the first luggage is just appearing. However, this airport lets itself down badly by the lack of available taxis. I could be fogiven to thinking it was just my luck on previous visits, but yet again there were just not enough to meet demand. Parking appears very limited too, but that is simply due to the space.
For departures, tickets must be uplifted before proceeding to check-in, if not already received. However, visit the shops before proceeding to check-in as the shops in the departure lounge are "very" basic. Delays are rare, but if they occur you can leave the departure lounge to return to the main shops (a most welcome benefit) although you must return back through security. Due to the limited size, the entire airport is on one level, and the disabled facilties are located centrally in the temrinal.
Facilities to get to the aircraft are very basic too, so if it is raining and/or windy the longer walks will most certainly add to the experience!
