- On-site Parking: Both short-term and long-term parking are available for those driving to the airport.

Common Complaints
- Lack of Facilities and Amenities: As of a 2016 review, the airport lacked basic passenger facilities, including food, drink, or even bottled water.
- Cleanliness Issues: The same 2016 review specifically mentioned dirty toilets. It is important to note that this information is not recent.
- Moderate Security Wait Times During Peak Hours: Security screening can have wait times of approximately 30 minutes, with peak hours (6-9 AM, 4-7 PM) potentially seeing waits up to 39-42 minutes.
- Limited Public Transportation Information: While general access is mentioned, specific details on public transportation connections are not readily available.
Overall, Timimoun Airport seems suitable for its purpose as a regional airport with domestic flights, primarily to Algiers and Oran. Travelers should anticipate a minimalist experience in terms of amenities and plan accordingly, especially regarding food and beverages.
