Bilbao Airport has recently opened a new terminal, which is absolutely breathtaking from the outside. It offers new gates with AirBridges, the runway has been extended to accomodate bigger aircraft and the airport has generally been improved.
On the inside, however, the airport is also fantastic. It's very spacious and well laid-out, it's easy to use and find your way around and the ground staff - both airport information and the airline staff are very helpful and kind.
Take one glance at the old terminal from the outside and your instant reaction will be eugh. Look at a picture from inside the building and you'll think you're somewhere else. I think the old terminal was designed to look tiny, and the idea was that once inside you would notice the extension and that it's actually very big and spacios.
Bilbao handles thousands of passengers a day, and has a smaller airport than Heathrow, so how come Heathrow always looks so cluttered. I think one reason is the the airport is just like a big room - the gates, well there's a wall through the middle for security, but apart from that it's one big room.
I would like to say that Bilbao Airport - BIO - also has a fantastic atmosphere about it - whenever you arrive there, and you come out through the electric doors past customs, there are about two hundred people all standing and looking, and when their relative comes out, they all sound really happy. Much better than England where everyone stands there with a sign saying 'Mr Smith.'
So a great, friendly airport, which is fantastically designed and easy to use. Has great facilities for the disabled as it has done for many years, many useful things like toilets, seats and cafes.
A beautiful airport for a beautiful city. Read my opinion on Bilbao to learn even more.
In my opinion go to bilbao airport in the capital of the Basque country. ETA, the basque seperatist group, don't seem to cause many problems there, and it is a nice short flight from england to get there. I really would recommend that you go there.
When you arrive at Bilbao airport(sondica) you will find that it is nice, clean healthy and very new. When I went there a month ago, it took me five minutes to leave the place. All nice and relaxed.
