Rip off country Beware! Take a currency convertor

Advantages: Planes seem to be efficient.
Disadvantages: Rip off prices of duty free, food and water. Unfriendly staff. Bad English!

Had a terrible experience with Bodrum airport completely ripping me and my partner off on the duty free! On leaving for England after ridiculous que outside in seering heat for 30 mins, as no waiting area inside, got 4 one litre bottles of: Southern Comfort 14ish€, Bombay Sapphire Gin 16ish€, Jamesons 17€ and Barcardi 12€ and a 200 pack of Malbro Menthol cig's 20€ and can't remember total as they refused to provide a receipt after we paid (was very ...
...off prices in Gulluk and Bodrum airport I feel sickened and if it wasn't for the fact that I picked up a one litre bottle of Malibu and 1 litre bottle of Smirnoff blue for just £20 for both at Manchester airport before we flew out I'd actually cry! There was also an offer on at Manchester airport for 5 one litre bottles of branded spirits for £35 subject to travel to non EU country e.g. Turkey and allowance restrictions, which we were told was 5 ...

Review of Bodrum Airport - Turkey

uh oh

Advantages: its small
Disadvantages: its small

I have travelled through Bodrum airport twice and i just have one word of advice for fellow travellers: Bring pleanty of food and drink as we got delayed for four hours and as their are no real shops and one cafe which is about 8 times more expensive than ones in the resorts. i would also advise all travellers to pack lightly on the way home because you have to lift your bag onto a security belt when you go in. its about 3 feet off the ground and ...

Review of Bodrum Milas (BYZ)

Bodrum airport is truly expensive!!

Advantages: You are possibly on holiday
Disadvantages: Too expensive to justify

...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. ...

Review of Bodrum Airport - Turkey

Take me home

Advantages: Gets you in and out of the country
Disadvantages: Very expensive

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 ...
...that's why it's called milas Bodrum because it's between the two towns. FACILITIES If I go onto the website, I am told that the airport has a new international terminal which was finished in 2000, whilst the old terminal is now used for domestic flights. Having seen this "spacious" new terminal, I am impressed because i saw it pre 2000 and it really has improved The airport boasts a number of facilities including: cafe, shops, car rental, parking, ...

Review of Bodrum Airport - Turkey

Bodrum Airport Review.

Advantages: gets you into Tukey for Holiday
Disadvantages: poorly set up and managed.

Having passed through Bodrum airport 6 times in the last 2.5 years I have to write only 1 story for all my experiences. Arriving at 3am you are expected to politely que to pay your entry fee €10 for me and £10 for U.K. $45 if your canadian? (not exactly fair!) and my 4 month old daughter €10 (disgraceful in my view) two persons with not a sign of a smile or a hello gladly collect your money, and place a visa in your passport.( average que time 30mins ...
...another friendly face, if your lucky you might get through in15mins maybe 30. Dont mind the 3 other officers( watching you walk past) as 2 maybe 3 only do the work. Then your baggage first you need a trolley but the dispensers dont work so a tolley person will look for a couple of € , £'s or 4tlr from you for a trolley which they will provide for you( stick up to them 2 tlr is all I ever give them they dont complain and look for the receipt from ...
