In general my experience was totally frustrated.
no ushers, no customer service, no employees to guide us or to show us where to go and what to do, there was only 1 check in counter was open for alot of passengers( wizzair) , and the queue was too long and the waiting time was approximately 45 minutes.
Nice airport. Not big, but very good
You don't have to walk through ANY shop to get to the gates. That's already worth 5 stars these difficult times.
Even though the airport and surrounding infrastructure are still under development, flying to and from DWC is a pleasant experience devoid of a lot of the stress often experienced when travelling from busy airports.
Open air covered parking is close to the terminal buildings and is free of charge. How long this will remain the case is not too certain
On the departure side before baggage check in, there is an information desk, a bank, a Costa coffee shop and a stall type shop offering small travel bags, as well some magazines, refreshments and miscellaneous food items such as chocolates biscuits etc. There are also two vending machines . The washroom that was in service was airy and clean.
The distances to walk are fairly short, and the facilities adequate.
Once you pass immigration, you won’t find luxurious shopping or fancy eateries just yet. The duty free is very small, and there is a Macdonald’s as well as a Costa coffee shop .
Access to planes is via bus rather than the gangways which can be a bit awkward if you’re elderly or with small kids.
At the moment there are very few flights through this airport, but I doubt it will remain this quiet for much longer Until such a time, DWC will remain one of our airports of choice for my family and I, and making the trip to and from Abu Dhabi, not seem such a long way away.
Best description that comes to mind, “simple, comfortable and stress free travel hub”.
