Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport

Very good organized airport. I had a layover to a domestic flight. At sabiha gokcen airport you have to wait in the same queue with all passport check, here they have dedicated transfer line to make your life easier. Drink water and wc facilities are also good.

The scene at the domestic departures floor of Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport is nothing short of disgraceful. The so-called “children’s play area” provided by TAV is essentially a TV, a few plastic chairs, and some decorative pieces — nothing more. There is no space for physical activity, no meaningful play structure, nothing that actually serves a child’s needs. In a major airport, this area should allow children to move, burn energy, and play safely. Instead, it looks like a token gesture created simply to say “we have a play area,” without providing any real function or value. Meanwhile, just a few meters away, the Turkish Airlines VIP lounge (accessible only to paying passengers) features a proper play park — spacious, colorful, and full of equipment that allows real physical activity. So essentially, there are play opportunities for children whose parents can pay, and nothing for those who cannot. This is completely at odds with Atatürk’s vision and the principles of the Republic he entrusted to its children. Turning a child’s basic need for movement and play into a privilege tied to money directly contradicts the spirit of equality that modern Turkey is meant to uphold. In a public space like an airport, children’s right to play should never depend on financial status. TAV’s “free play area” is not a public service — it’s a decorative corner, designed more for PR photos than for real use. In the Republic of Turkey, this kind of double standard toward children is unacceptable. If Atatürk’s vision — “The future is in the skies” — is to mean anything, then the free play area must match the quality of the paid one. Otherwise, it is not children being served — only profit. And that is absolutely unacceptable

Friendly Staff that help check in. @ Pegasus Domestic flight Terminal. That made things easy quick and smooth. We just put tje luggage 🧳 after all process was over. Professional Staff. Fast check in at Pegasus ✈ Easy Accessible clean Airport.

Big and modern. two problems: 1. the passport control section has become slow with long lines 2. the parking is confusing and not spacious enough

They actually charge you for a trolley to push your bags, after travelling for hours. Clearly no tourist will have their currency. The bathrooms are also an absolute disgrace. This place definitely does not have growth in mind. Also, absolutely no seating area while you wait for your international bags to arrive. Try to avoid if possible.

Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport’s domestic terminal is modern, clean, and easy to navigate. It’s not too big, so getting through security and to your gate is usually quick and hassle-free. Didn’t have to wait too long for my luggage either when I got here via my domestic flight. There are a decent number of cafés and shops, though food options can be a bit limited compared to larger airports. Seating is comfortable, and there are charging points available, making it a good place to wait for your flight. Overall, it’s a well-organized airport with a smooth travel experience, especially for domestic flights.

This is the domestic airport. Not crowded and they have clean and fragrant restroom. Some employees of the coffee shop and kiosk can't speak english but we use google translate to communicate😊

A modern and well-organized airport that makes arrival and departure smooth and stress-free. The terminals are clean, clearly signposted, and easy to navigate even for first-time visitors. There are plenty of seating areas, cafés, and small shops to relax while waiting for your flight. Security and check-in lines move at a reasonable pace, and the direct rail connection to the city is very convenient for travelers who want a quick transfer to downtown Izmir.
