Common Complaints
- Peak Season Overcrowding: During the peak winter months (December to March), especially with numerous charter flights, the airport can become very crowded and run out of space. This can lead to longer wait times and a less comfortable experience.
- Limited Seating: A common complaint during busy periods is the lack of sufficient seating in the terminal.
- Baggage Reclaim Delays: Some travelers have experienced long delays with baggage reclaim and reported that ground staff were occasionally unsure which carousel luggage would arrive on.
- Limited Facilities: While sufficient for its size, the dining and retail options are limited, with only a café/bar and a small duty-free shop and newsstand. There is no dedicated lounge.
Overall, Kittilä Airport is an efficient gateway to Lapland, particularly praised for its cleanliness and convenient access to resorts. While generally satisfactory, travelers should be prepared for potential overcrowding and limited facilities during the busy winter season.
