Common Complaints
- Security Staff Behavior and Wait Times: This is a recurring and significant complaint, with travelers reporting long queues (sometimes over an hour) and rude, unprofessional, and unhelpful security staff. Some reviews mention staff shouting and a lack of English communication, leading to stressful experiences and even missed flights. Current estimates show security wait times around 27 minutes.
- Limited Comfortable Seating for Resting: While some areas offer sofas, many report a lack of seats without armrests, making it uncomfortable for those wishing to rest or sleep during layovers.
- "Old" Terminal for Non-Schengen Flights: Some experiences mention an older, less modern terminal used for non-Schengen international flights, which contrasts unfavorably with the main, newer T2 terminal.
- Strictness with Carry-on Baggage: One traveler reported extreme strictness and charges for carry-on luggage that was only slightly oversized.
- Executive Lounge Experience: Reviews for the Executive Lounge suggest it is a small, basic facility with a limited selection of snacks and drinks, and some staff interactions have been described as unhelpful.
Overall, Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport is largely seen as a modern and efficient regional airport, excelling in cleanliness and connectivity. However, travelers should be aware of potential issues with security wait times and staff attitudes, particularly during peak hours, and plan accordingly.
