  • Moderate Security Wait Times: Security wait times are estimated at 25 minutes, which might be considered moderate for some travelers.
  • Lack of Detailed Traveler Experiences: There is a noticeable absence of recent, detailed traveler reviews regarding overall satisfaction, terminal conditions, or specific experiences with customs/immigration (beyond wait times).
