Common Complaints
  • Limited Flight Connections: A significant complaint is the limited number of flight destinations and frequencies, especially for domestic routes, making connections challenging. The airport faces strong competition from larger nearby airports.
  • Inconvenient Location: Travelers without a car often find the airport's location inconvenient and "far from everything," despite being positioned between Metz and Nancy.
  • Public Transportation: While a shuttle bus service connects the airport to Metz and Nancy, some travelers feel there is a general lack of diverse public transportation options.
  • Outdated Infrastructure (Historical Concern): Older reviews occasionally mentioned the infrastructure appearing "outdated and boring," though recent ratings for terminal facilities are high.

Overall, Lorraine Airport is appreciated for its efficiency and compact size, making for a smooth experience through security and customs. However, its limited flight network and somewhat isolated location can be a drawback for travelers seeking extensive connectivity or relying heavily on public transport.
