- Efficiency for EU/EEA citizens: Immigration for EU/EEA citizens is often faster than for non-EU citizens, with estimated wait times for immigration being generally fast (under 15 minutes).
- Quick security wait times: Security wait times are typically fast, often under 15 minutes, with estimates ranging from 0-8 minutes for departing passengers.
- Online check-in and mobile boarding passes: Travelers are advised to use these to bypass check-in counters and proceed directly to security, saving time.
- Car rental availability: Several car rental companies like SurPrice, Alamo, Sixt, Enterprise, and AddCar have counters in the arrivals hall, making car hire convenient for exploring the region.
- Limited facilities/amenities: One recent comment described the airport as "Ugly" and noted a lack of a "crew room." While the airport does offer amenities like lounges, dining, shopping, and currency exchange, the overall impression for some is that it's a small and potentially basic facility.
- Expensive and sometimes unreliable ground transportation: Taxis to Rijeka city center can cost around 60 EUR, and while Uber and Bolt are available and sometimes cheaper (39-50 EUR to Rijeka center), finding a driver from the airport can be difficult, with waiting times of 45-60 minutes.
- Bus service limitations: The airport shuttle bus, while available, only runs from May to October. Additionally, stops at Omišalj and Kraljevica require pre-booking at least 24 hours in advance, and if not booked, the service may not run or might be provided by a regular passenger car.
- Passport control for non-Schengen travelers: Croatia was not a Schengen member as of a 2022 review, meaning passport control was required for arrivals from other European countries. (Note: Croatia joined the Schengen Area on January 1, 2023, which may have changed this experience for some travelers.)
- Busiest periods: July, August, and December are the busiest travel months, with wait times potentially 30-50% longer than average.

Bottom line: Rijeka Airport seems best suited for travelers who prioritize quick processing and are prepared to arrange their own transportation or deal with the limitations of the shuttle bus service. While efficient for security and immigration, its small size means fewer amenities and potentially higher costs or inconvenience for ground transport compared to larger airports.
