Duesseldorf Airport

I think it's a good airport for it's size. You will not get lost. I just get lost on the carousel, my bad, I was waiting on a different carousel lol but the one who recognized me told me isn't you are on this plane, we are on the carousel etc. Funny experience. Can tap your card for airport cart. 🇩🇪✈️🙏🏻💗🌸

The security check is total disaster. Long queue. You can easily spend 40-50 minutes waiting. There are a lot of security personal but they are idle as " there are not enough boxes, it is not us it is police" for the scanner so you can't place your luggage. As well every second bag is forwarded to manual check, way different to other airports in Europe. For sure nothing is observed. You should plan 2,5 hours before the flight to be on the safe side.

Great airport. Very well structured. You get huge waiting halls, great arrival zone, perfect departure area. Awesome shops. Very easy to navigate. But quite awkward passport control for people flying outside of EU. Very very quick these days security check but your bags will definitely go through screening. 4 flights - 4 times had my stuff diverted for manual check 😂 If you have chance, fly through Düsseldorf. Very good spot. Plus Düsseldorf is awesome city of fashion.

A few tips if going through the C Gates (non Schengen) 1 - Security for A and B gates seems to be considerably shorter, use these security lines and then walk five minutes to the C Gate area 2 - Allow PLENTY of time to get through passport control if you are a non EU citizen. Especially if there’s a Turkey flight (and there are a lot) it could take you up to an hour to get through here. On a more positive note, there’s now a lot more eating and drinking places once you do get through

Well structured and purpose-driven airport for short and mid-to-long range flights. I have had the possibility to easily go through security with no wait time and the gates information are clear enough for frequent fliers. Food shops could improve in price/quality combination but overall positive feedback!

I recently spent time at Düsseldorf Airport and had such a smooth travel experience that I’d fully recommend it to anyone flying through. From the moment I arrived, everything felt intuitive and well-organized. Navigation between Terminals A, B, and C is seamless: signs are clear, walkways are direct, and even crossing between terminals is simple thanks to elevated corridors. Once through security, it’s easy to move between gates without confusion. Security and check-in moved fast. Despite moderate traffic, lines rarely felt long and staff generally operated efficiently. Afterward, there’s no shortage of food and shopping: from kiosks and cafés to duty‑free stores and even a small supermarket in the arrivals level—plenty of variety to suit business or leisure needs. The design is modern and clean. Seating areas are well spaced, charging stations are readily available, and free Wi‑Fi works reliably throughout. As a bonus for plane enthusiasts, there’s a visitor terrace where you can watch landings and takeoffs—simple yet enjoyable, with great views across the apron. Lounges add real value if you have the opportunity to access them. I spent time in the Open Sky Lounge in Pier C—it’s bright, calm, and recently refreshed. There’s a decent buffet, complimentary drinks, quiet zones, and showers if you want to freshen up before boarding. For travelers in Pier B, the Hugo Junkers Lounge delivers solid food offerings and an apron-facing ventilation-filled interior. Transport connections are a highlight. There are two rail stations: the S‑bahn at the terminal for regional connections and the main station a short ride away via the SkyTrain offering intercity and ICE trains. The SkyTrain is automatic and fast—handy if you’re heading into Düsseldorf or onward in Germany. Taxi and rideshare pickup zones are next to the terminal exit; just be mindful that airport-to-city-center fares can sometimes feel higher than expected if unpaid extra charges pop up—using an app‑based service helps avoid that. Overall, Düsseldorf Airport feels efficient, modern, and thoughtful. It recently won “Best Regional Airport in Europe” at the Skytrax World Airport Awards—a well-deserved recognition in my opinion. My experience felt stress-free from bag drop to boarding, with helpful staff, good amenities, reliable Wi‑Fi, and easy transfer options. If you need a regional hub in Europe that runs like clockwork and offers both functional and comfortable services, Düsseldorf Airport delivers.

Düsseldorf airport is actually pretty well structured. Security was smooth and quick, barely any waiting time, which was a relief. What could be better though – the prices in the shops felt a bit much. I know it’s common in airports, but still, could be more reasonable. And the main issue for me was the chaos at the departure area. People were just stopping anywhere, no clear flow or control – that part definitely needs improvement.

The Duesseldorf airport was easy to access, whether by bus or train, which made the journey very convenient. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout. The airport itself is medium-sized, not too big to get lost in, but not too small either. It had everything I needed without being overwhelming. Overall, a smooth and pleasant experience.
