General: |
Main international airport for most of Latvia |
Appearance: |
Like Budapest and Prague this is another new looking shiny airport with good signing and a clear layout. |
Domestic
I have not arrived on a domestic flight at this airport
International
Simple layout of the airport and good signing means that on arrival you can quickly make your way through the airport. It's a bit of a walk from the farthest gate (which we parked on) to immigration but then its straight through to the slightly small and dingy baggage reclaim hall. From there it's past a couple of bored looking customs officials and through a door into the arrivals hall.
Despite quite a queue to get through the checks were processed very quickly and efficiently
A small and slightly dingy baggage hall with only two belts. Not helped by someone picking up my luggage, realising it wasn't theirs and just dumping it by the side of the belt rather than back on. For about 15 minutes I thought my luggage had disappeared to somewhere else!
The customs hall appears to be a couple of bored looking officials standing at the back of baggage reclaim and a door through to the arrivals hall!
Buses from the outside of the terminal building take you to the city centre.
Domestic
All flights are treated the same
International
A clear and easy layout with everything relatively close together with most of the gates just a few minutes walk from the shops in the main body of the departures lounge.
Couple of bar/cafe's on the land-side and a few more once through into air side.

Couple of shops on the land-side of the airport and a couple of general shops and large duty/tax free shops once you are through to air-side
The toilets are very clean and well maintained.
