Bodrum Airport - Turkey

This was our second visit to Turkey in 7 years and this time we were to fly into the relatively new airport in Bodrum. Pleased that we didn't have an arduous coach journey ahead of us we collected our bags and climbed aboard the bus. It is fair to say that on arrival you don't have time to take in your surroundings, and that the Turks bustle you swiftly through passport control, take your £10 and are prompt with your baggage. It was late in the evening and we just wanted to get to our hotel and chill. The journey home was somewhat different. Due to travel at 01:15 a.m. we arrived back at ... more

Bodrum airport My teenage son was flying to Bodrum to meet up with his brother and because I was flying to Bodrum myself later in the week, I took more than the usual interest in the airport and more especially the website. WHERE IS IT? The Airport is actually called milas- Bodrum airport but is commonly referred to as Bodrum airport. It is situated on a peninsula on the south west coast of Turkey and juts out into the Aegean sea. The airport itself is 36km from Bodrum itself and 16km south from the town of Milas, so that's why it's called milas Bodrum because it's between the two towns ... more

Bodrum Airport, Well can I say anything good about Bodrum Airport? In a word NO, what a place, after the end to a relatively dismal holiday we had to finish of in the Airport from hell. What a bunch of miserable so and so's. First of all pass port control, now don't get me wrong, I certainly are all for the extra security, I feel so much safer, but my Nana who is 79 was stopped after she had put her hand luggage through the scanner, I went over to see what was the matter, and was instantly told to stand back, I thought oh no she's brought out to many cigarettes and they are going to take them ... more

Fantastic trip to Turkey, flight was delayed two hours on return to Leeds/Bradford airport but nothing could have prepared me for how expensive Bodrum airport really was. I assumed food would be expensive, a lot of airports generally are - I bought five small slices of pizza each with a small portion of chips, I could not believe this came to around £50, I couldn't tell you if they tasted nice as my throat was too dry with the shock!! This is simply daylight robbery to families who have children and no choice but to feed their kids something warm at the airport. Expensive is one thing but this ... more

we arrived at bodrum airport at 4am on may 4th, tired but happy to be on holiday, due to various delays 3 planes had arrived near enough at the same time so the wait to get through immigration took well over 1 hour. you have to pay £10 each person to enter Turkey and are required to pay with stirling in £10 notes. I did see some couples paying with £20 notes although the guide books state you can only use £10 notes and i would suggest you comply with that advice, the Turkish immigration officers are not the friendliest i have ever seen. Due to the time it took to get through to baggage i ... more
