What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

It appears there are no publicly available recent traveler reviews or experiences for Upper Yasat Island Airport (AE-0024), as it is identified as a small airport with no airline service. It does not handle commercial passenger flights, which is why traveler feedback is absent.

However, assuming you may be interested in the main commercial airport serving the Abu Dhabi and Yas Island area, here is a summary of recent traveler reviews for Zayed International Airport (AUH) (formerly Abu Dhabi International Airport), which recently opened its new Terminal A in November 2023 and is located less than 20 minutes from Yas Island.

Overall, traveler sentiment at Zayed International Airport (AUH) is generally positive, with many praising its modern design, cleanliness, and efficiency, especially with the new Terminal A. The airport has been awarded "Best Airport at Arrivals Globally" for three consecutive years by Airports Council International (ACI) World, highlighting its smooth arrival process. However, some recurring issues, particularly regarding long walking distances and power outlet availability, have been noted. The average traveler rating is 7.7/10.

What Travelers Love

Modernity and Cleanliness: The new Terminal A is consistently described as super modern, bright, shiny, and very clean, with spacious terminals and impressive architecture.
Efficient Arrivals and Immigration: Many travelers report smooth, quick, and stress-free arrival processes, often using efficient e-gates for passport control.
Professional Staff: Airport staff, particularly security personnel, are often found to be professional and helpful.
Excellent Facilities and Amenities: The airport offers a wide range of amenities, including 24-hour food and drink options, extensive duty-free shopping, and various lounges (including the Pearl Lounge and Etihad lounges). Showers are available in some lounges and after security, which is a bonus for many. There are also sleep pods and an on-site transit hotel (AUHotel) for longer layovers.
US CBP Pre-clearance: A significant strength for US-bound travelers is the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Preclearance facility, allowing passengers to clear US immigration and customs in Abu Dhabi before departure, saving time upon arrival in the US.
Parking Options: There are both short-term and long-term parking options available at Terminal A, with 15 minutes of free parking for short-term stays and pre-booking options for long-term parking. A new long-term car park is located just 2 minutes from the main terminal.

Common Complaints

Long Walking Distances: A frequent complaint, especially in the new Terminal A, is the extensive walking required to reach gates or immigration, with some reporting 15-20 minute walks, even for fast walkers. Electric buggies are available for those with mobility issues, and complimentary strollers for families.
Lack of Power Outlets/Charging Points: Several travelers have reported a shortage of functioning power points and charging capabilities in public areas, forcing some to seek out cafes or restaurants to charge devices.
Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues: While free Wi-Fi is available, some users have noted inconsistent or poor connectivity for calls.
Crowding and Lounge Access: Some reviews mention crowded conditions in certain terminals (historically Terminal 3) and long lines to access the single main lounge.
Subpar Transit Hotel Experience: The AUHotel (transit hotel) has received mixed reviews, with some finding rooms small and reporting noise, while others appreciate the convenience for short rests. Water pressure and temperature inconsistencies in showers were also noted.

In summary, Zayed International Airport (AUH), particularly with its new Terminal A, offers a largely positive and modern travel experience, excelling in cleanliness, efficiency, and amenities. However, travelers should be prepared for potentially long walks within the terminal and consider alternative charging solutions due to limited power outlets.
