Bari International Airport-Karol Wojtyla

A very good airport overall. It’s fairly compact, which makes it easy to navigate, and security was reasonably efficient when I travelled. The terminal is clean and well organised, and it’s convenient to reach the city centre by train or taxi. It can get a bit crowded during peak times and seating near the gates is sometimes limited, but nothing too dramatic. For a regional airport, it does the job well and offers a smooth travel experience. Would happily fly through here again.

This was an ok regional airport. I thought the security and scanning part was not particularly well organised. Inside was ok however and some ok places to eat and some ok duty free. There were some good car hire links. Great city and surrounding are to visit though. There is a McDonald's here. I like the music too.

The alrport itself has been well-maintained - clean and oridinary. However, there are no water stations, the wifi connection is poor, and all seats have armchairs which make them not suitable for long waiting times.

🛫 Bari Airport is overall nice – small but well expanded and easy to navigate. 💺 There’s also a lounge accessible with Priority Pass, which is perfectly fine. 🤕 What’s not fine are the low pillars and beams – you can easily hit your head, which feels quite unsafe. 🧳 Security check was quick and rather relaxed, not stressful at all. 🚆 The train to and from the airport costs €5.30 and goes directly to the city center – great connection, though it runs only once every 50 minutes. 🎟️ Tickets can be bought online or at vending machines using a card, very convenient. ✈️ Overall, a nice small airport – practical and easy, just watch your head! 😅

This is the main airport serving the city of Bari and the region of Puglia. If you are planning a tour of puglia this is the ideal airport. It’s a bit small considering the number of the tourists visiting the region, and hence can get busy. The airport has all the basic amenities for travelers. The food was a let down especially compared to the fantastic food you get outside. Airport has good connectivity via bus and train. Highly recommend the train as it’s only 5euros and takes just 10 minutes to reach the city. It’s extremely difficult to find a taxi so if you are planning to take one please plan ahead. Uber is very expensive. You are better off calling the local taxi companies who can then send a cab.

Very modern regional airport with numerous international connections. Very accesible by road and rail with good surface connections to final destinatiobs in the region of Puglia. Very well provided with a good range of restaurants and shops and an improved lounga for Business Class travelers.

Great airport at all! It have 1 terminal and quite much gates. Good baggage check. The staff is great. The second floor after the baggage check don’t have much shops but the 2 duty free’s are great! Yes, good airport at all!
