Online Reviews Summary

Recent traveler reviews for Bremen Airport (EDDW (BRE)) indicate a generally positive sentiment, with many appreciating its compact size and efficient operations. Travelers often highlight the airport's excellent connectivity to the city center and quick processes, though some express disappointment with limited amenities and occasional overcrowding, particularly in certain terminal areas.

What Travelers Love
  • Compact Size and Efficiency: The airport is frequently praised for being small, modern, and easy to navigate, leading to quick transitions through various processes.
  • Fast Security and Immigration: Many travelers report breezing through security, attributing this to efficient staff and the use of full-body scanners. Baggage claim is also noted as being very fast for arrivals.
  • Excellent Public Transportation: The Tram Line 6 is highly lauded for its direct and convenient connection from the airport to Bremen city center and the main train station, taking only about 10-15 minutes.
  • Unique Facilities (Main Terminal): The main terminal offers an amazing viewing deck with information about space programs and aircraft, and public areas are generally held to a high standard.
  • Operational Stability: Bremen Airport demonstrated high operational stability in 2024, with virtually no significant disruptions.
Common Complaints
  • Limited Food, Drink, and Shopping Options Post-Security: Especially in the departure areas and Terminal E (Ryanair terminal), travelers frequently mention a lack of variety in food and drink, with some options being expensive or merely snack kiosks. There is only one duty-free store with limited range and bad prices.
  • Insufficient Seating and Toilets: There are concerns about limited seating in departure lounges, particularly if multiple gates are active simultaneously. The number and location of toilets, both landside and airside, are also noted as insufficient or poorly marked.
  • Subpar Wi-Fi Connectivity: Several reviews point out that Wi-Fi service can be unreliable or only functional in small, specific areas of the airport.
  • Basic Facilities in Terminal E: The dedicated Ryanair Terminal E is described as a "big shed" with very basic facilities after security, including limited seating and amenities, which can be particularly draughty in cold weather.
  • Occasional Overcrowding and Haphazard Queuing: Despite the airport's small size, some travelers have experienced long security lines and crowded check-in areas during peak times, leading to haphazard queuing systems.

Overall, Bremen Airport is generally viewed as a convenient and efficient regional airport, particularly for arrivals and its excellent public transport links. While its compact size is a strength for quick processing, the limited amenities, particularly after security and in Terminal E, are recurring points of dissatisfaction for travelers expecting a broader range of services.
