Latest airport reviews
Worse airport going to stop using Westjet because of what happens waiting forever to get luggage over hour would give a minus score if I could Issues everytime we come through which we do a lot
Worst airport I’ve ever gone through and I travel all the time - international and domestic. Avoid at all cost if possible - worst than 3 rd world country airports! Would give it 0 starts if possible. Rude workers, inefficient layout, no signage for international flights - I could go on and on. Don’t go through this airport!
Poorly designed layout after renovation Very difficult to get from gate to gate in the various terminals. for connecting flights AVOID if at all possible.
