Review from Louise G.
10/25/2011 3 Check-ins Here
Only place in Canada where people CHEER when they land. So for this alone you gotta give the place props. Or jets. Or helicopters... ;-)
Not a large airport, by any stretch of the imagination, but the departures set up I found a bit confusing. Signage seems to indicate that the departures is on the second floor. Well it is, but you have to check yourself and your luggage in on the main floor. The self-check in kiosks were not cooperating when we checked in so we had to get the luggage confusion straightened out at the desk. Once we'd done so, it was up to the second floor and through security.
Once inside, get as comfortable as you can in airport seating and wait for your plane. No gigantic selection of stores, not a lot of area to walk and explore, and you are leaving one of the most beautiful places in the world, so you are bound to be unhappy. But it's not the airport's fault.Listed in: 365-Day Challenge - Review A…, OUT OF TOWN, DA ROCK!

Review from Chris P.
The good:
1. It's a small airport so there's no line at security, you go right through.
2. You can't get lost trying to find your gate, there's only 4 or 5 of them.
3. There's ample seating in the boarding lounge.
4. There's a decent number of electrical receptacles so you can charge your phone or laptop if needed.
5. All of the staff I encountered were very friendly and helpful.
The not so good:
1. Once you pass through security there isn't much for amenities, just a coffee counter that serves Tim Hortons coffee and $8 cafeteria sandwiches and a small Relay store.
2. It's a small airport so there isn't a lot to pass the time if you don't have a book or something to amuse yourself with.
3. It's a little confusing where to drop your rental car. You kind of just have to find an employee in the parking area to take the car off your hands.
