General:

Tiny regional airport located just outside the city in Carpiquet
   

Appearance:

There is one small terminal building

Inbound

Domestic
Domestic arrivals enter directly into the baggage reclaim area

International
On arrival you walk to the small immigration hall where passports are checked before walking through into the neighbouring baggage reclaim hall and then straight out into arrivals

Immigration was quick and efficient with two members of staff on

There is a single small baggage belt

At the time of visiting all flights originated in the EU so there were no customs checks.

There are regular buses (every 20 minutes Monday-Saturday, every 75 minutes or so on a Sunday) that head into the centre of Caen, taking around 20 minutes to make the journey.

Outbound

Domestic
Domestic and International flights are treated the same, except for the gate room for Non-Schengen flights being behind a passport check

International
There are four check-in desks located at one end of the terminal building, immediately behind them is the queue for security, which you can't enter until your flight is called around 20 minutes before boarding due to the space constraints. Once through security there is a small passport booth that then leads through into a gate room which has a toilet and a vending machine in it

There is one small café landside, there is nothing airside
