Charlottetown Airport

This was my first time to this airport. The last time we flew to Halifax and drove here. The airport is small and use a ramp rather than the sky bridge that larger airports use. The people were friendly and service was good.

It is pretty crowded after landing during daytime here. As a travelling place, the airport gets busy all the time even in a small town. Facilities are fully setup and washrooms keep clean conditions. Nothing major people would complain about, however, it is always could be better. A shower term stay in airport for departure or landing given family or friends a remarkable time before or after travelling. Beautiful place to pass through if needed.

I can't believe we have to walk outside the airport to access a ramp and climb it pulling carry-on luggage, carrying babies, to get on the plane... How is this possible with any degree of comfort when it's cold and snowing, which happens all winter in Charlottetown? Is this an airport in a country that was considered to have a high quality of life? I can't believe they don't think about this.

Honestly not a great experience. Bathrooms were covered in pee, soap was spilt everywhere, and the looked gross and poorly kept. Water bottle thing after security didn't work. Thankfully a person at the one shop there was willing to refill my bottle. Wifi is like 2.5/0.5mbps download/upload speed, so good look doing anything more than checking the weather. Security was fine, there's a decent amount of seating. At least there was AC. Felt like an airport you'd see in a 3rd world country, not a country where you give half your paycheck to taxes. There's either immediate drop off parking or paid parking. It's fine overall. I dislike it. There are better airports and FBOs around the country and having no working water past security is not fair to people on a 35 degree Celsius day. Some basic maintenance and cleaning could get this review up higher. Maybe I was just there at a bad time.

Small efficient friendly & very multicultural for airport with under 500,000 yearly pax. Great departure outdoor patio to watch the planes & enjoy fresh air.

Absolutely furious with the Charlottetown Airport baggage staff. Our checked bags with our toddler’s winter gear, his favourite blanket, and Christmas gifts were never loaded onto the plane, despite us being on time and the flight delayed. These staff botched the simplest job: putting suitcases on an aircraft. We arrived home with a small child in winter (-25c) with no warm clothes, no comfort blanket, no presents, turning our holiday into chaos as we scrambled for basics. There is ONE gate and ONE plane leaving the airport. How does this even happen? Charlottetown Airport will hold zero accountability for this, because hey, the islanders are always right.

Very tiny airport with 1 small departures concourse and waiting area and a couple small gates. Boarding/deplaning are done via airstairs/walkway bridges, you you'll need to walk onto the aprons. It's great for aviation enthusiasts but if you're a typical traveller you might not like it. Not a busy airport at all, when we flew out, we were the last departure of the day and it was only mid afternoon haha.

Feb ,2,2026 I had a very bad experience at Charlottetown Airport during check-in. The staff member at the counter, named (TRACY) was extremely rude and unprofessional while checking my luggage and issuing my boarding pass. There was a small name mismatch between my passport and ticket, which was clearly a system or booking website issue (Air Canada), not my fault. Instead of explaining calmly, she treated us like we were foolish. She repeatedly tapped my passport on the counter while making faces, which felt disrespectful .The way she behaved came as racist. Passengers deserve respect, especially when the issue is a system error. This experience left a very bad impression of the airport staff.

such a cute little airport, super easy to find your way and everyones very kind! As for the interior, it looks old fashioned but has plenty of natural light giving it a refreshing entrance.

Great small airport servicing Prince Edward Island! Has good connections to Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary, etc. Very easy to navigate and security lines are very short. People here are also extremely friendly and helpful! Going to planes consists of going outside to the plane so if there's bad weather, plan accordingly.

A very, very tiny airport- cute as Charlottetown! Ha! Easy security line! Two flights a day to Toronto, I hear. A no frills airport. Seriously just in and out. No fancy restaurants, just one shop with quick bites and drinks. But rental cars are available: Avis, Hertz and a few more. Very convenient!

Really disappointed in the lack of amenities for passengers travelling with infants. Upon check-in I asked the representative if there was a nursing room, and he directed me to the family washroom. Besides the fact that this is not an appropriate place for anyone to eat, there was not anywhere in the bathroom to sit and nurse other than the floor and the toilet. I also expected the gate agent to allow those travelling with children to board first, but this did not happen. I was forced to wait for my zone to be called, and this resulted in lining up outside the plane in December where my 4 month old was losing her mind because of the cold and loud plane engine. This was super distressing for us both.

Charming airport with well optioned gift shop and cafeteria outside of security. Nicely lit and expeditious process through check-in. Car rentals are a breeze to work with and are located on site. We got a great deal through Kayak which routed us to Avis via Euro-Cars. One HUGE benefit of YYG is the gratis luggage carts. Very neighbo(u)rly gesture on the part of our PEI hosts. ATM is conveniently located at arrivals. Don't pull a muscle trying to get Canadian tender - we managed very well using our U.S. Debit/credit cards for the largest and smallest transactions AND the exchange rate is fair. Watch the planes come and go from either inside or outside - plenty of viewing options. Budley's restaurant & lounge serves various expected plates (chowder, lobster rolls, fish & chips) and appear reasonably priced compared to the rest of St. John's Island. :)

This is a great small airport to use. It is close to Charlottetown and easily accessible from main roads, parking is always available (not the cheapest, but at least you'll find a spot). The interior is well maintained and everything looks new and sparkling. Check in and security is a breeze, and the amenities past security are more than adequate considering there are no real long haul flights from this airport. Luggage also quickly comes out on the conveyer belt after landing. One thing that would make the place nicer would be a lounge or bar outside the security area, but I guess you can't have everything!

The Charlottetown Airport is small but effective, and it's a nice entryway to the island. Baggage claim is easy. The people are friendly. When you enter the tiny building, there's info about PEI to help you plan your stay. Overall a nice airport.

I love this tiny yet efficient airport! PLUSES: - Small - cute, compact, easy to navigate - you can walk the entire length in about a minute - Baggage claim is FAST! - Great staff in security/customs - friendliest I've come across! - Fantastic tourism information with staff MINUSES: - Snarky Counter staff (I'm looking at you, female staff over 50 - I've experienced 3 or 4 of you now and you must have some sort of Crusty Club code about not smiling or being nice to people...) - No dining options... there is a little INTERESTING TIP / INFO TIDBIT: There is a Canada Post mailbox inside the airport to send those last-minute postcards! I had about 20. Yes I still snail mail. I have never waited longer than 15 minutes for my baggage!!! I know. And, needless to say, this airport will always hold a special place in my heart because it is the gateway to my favourite place in the country!

Tiny little airport on a small island. However it has the basic necessities to keep human life form functioning and from moving to a state of agitated craziness! What you love of these small Canadian airports is that you can land and be curbside in about 20-30 steps. Or vice versa at check in. Car rental is located at kiosks when you land so you can traverse this island. A small gift shop has small souvenir items if you have missed something for a loved one or relative. Also there is a snack counter post security with a lounge where sandwiches, salads, beer and alcohol are served also. I purchased a lobster roll sandwich that was quite tasty. I'd concur that imitation crab was mixed in at a ratio of 45% icrab /55%lobster. Overall it helped fill a tummy during a long delay. Sure this airport may be a bit dated in decor however it makes up in charm and friendliness!

My first and only visit to PEI was a result of a poorly booked airline ticket booked through points. At first I was dreaded my 5 hour layover in Charlottetown as I had no clue about the city, the airport or anything. This airport was by far the smallest airport that I've ever been to! It has an arrivals gate and a departures date...that's all!! Although it was very small it was very efficient and the staff was extremely helpful What is nice is that it is extremely easy to get to the city via taxi and at a reasonable price. As far as airports go, I can't say anything more than that!

Budley's has THE BEST french fries ever and that's all I came here to say.

Excellent airport to fly out from :) very nice restaurant prior to security where you can have a sit down breakfast,and staff at the air canada counter were very nice and accommodating. Security was not a hassle for once! Didn't even have to take off our shoes! Restrooms were very clean and the waiting areas are nice and clean and can seat many customers.

This is a very small yet friendly airport. You will enjoy the ease of not having to rush to this airport as the security gates only open when a flight is close to boarding time. The airport does boast free wifi and a pretty good cafe while you wait for those early morning Air Canada flights.

A quaint little airport that's as lovely as the locals, right down to the customs agents. For maximum enjoyment, have enough sense to experience the airport without the detriment of being entangled with Delta Air Lines.

I was very impressed with this little airport. I was nervous to fly as I hadn't for a very long time, so I was quite distracted and at the last minute I noticed I had left the rental car keys in my purse! It was too late to leave and turn them in myself. I walked up to the Air Canada wicket and Amy said she would not have a problem doing that for me, just leave the keys with her, I was so relieved. This type of service is not what you would of received in a big airport. I can't say enough good things about this airport and Amy of course!
