Tivat Airport

After everything that happened in Montenegro, arriving here was such a relief! The airport is small, sure, but the staff were effortlessly cool, kind, and polite- they even joked, never rushed us, and made everything feel completely stress-free. Only gripe: no outlets to charge devices. Otherwise, absolutely top-notch service! 👌

Tiny airport, free WiFi. Not much fuss. Clean toilets. Horde of taxis waiting outside, to take you anywhere- at an inflated price ofcourse. Tip: Tivat town centre is just about 3 km from the airport. The road to the centre from the airport is relatively flat with no inclines or declines. If you don't have much luggage and fancy a walk (and save 15 Euros in the process), you can just walk it up. Unfortunately no buses from the airport to the centre of Tivat. Regarding departures, absolute mayhem. Even railway stations in India are more organised than the departure section of Tivat airport. No chaos, only 1 check-in counter opens for Air Serbia, and then the rest of the officials come to open up 2 more counters when they see the crowd building up and forming a huge line. Lol !!

If you find yourself needing to fly out of this airport, make sure you are on the first or second flight of the day to avoid chaos. We had to drop our rental car off here a few days before flying and the airport at 4pm was complete mayhem. However, when we arrived for our flight at 7am check in was easy, security was quick and boarding was seamless. This airport cannot handle the huge influx of people, I hope they expand to accommodate more tourists.

Small Airport with 2 Terminals. Its a classic minimal airport for charter flights although Lufthansa and Air Montenegro and maybe other major companies get there. In terminal 1 there is a cafe bar and a kiosk and clean toilets before security. After security there is a small Duty free, with some Sandwiches sweets and of course the regular Duty free items.The toilets are a mess. Access to and from aircraft on foot.(maybe during winter its different). come'on Montenegro , you have a beautiful country invest a few Euro and give your Tivat airport a face lift!At this current state these terminals are not fit for purpose.

Couldn’t even imagined how disappointing it could have been. The queue is huge and there’s not even a working system to make it work. People have to wait from outside without even knowing which terminal is needed, as they have two terminals. Staff is not hospitable at all. Only 2 out of 6 windows for flight registration are working, after which again there’s a queue to enter. Overall it was a really bad experience, if you have some other options for traveling totally recommend to avoid this airport.

Ok, I'm going to be completely honest and fair with my approach, apon arriving the airport is beautiful surrounded by mountains and nature beauty, it is a very modest and small airport with two terminals and with the two, still smaller then a lot of UK small airports, there is a bit of a wait when you arrive but it's not too bad and it's somewhere organized, the arrival was good to be honest flying out of LLA and arriving smoothly a a clean and short distance airport, ok now here is why it gets the low ranking, when reaching the airport it's not very organised, it feels understaffed and miss managed, the airport is very small which isn't a big issue, however the issue is how they utilise space and control space and the use of barriers, there's not much communication from anyone from either easyJet or staff from the airport, they need to proved a better and organised queuing system for passengers, I definitely do not think it is the worst airport I have visited. For me better organisation amongst other factors I would have given this a 3 star rating. I think this can easily be achieved, with proper planning, organising and management. There is a place to eat outside and a small duty free in both terminals with limited service and options available, I didn't see any free water fountains in either terminal and for free wifi "Passengers" is the name I didn't need to input a password. A little bit of care, consideration and customer focus can change this whole experience, Montenegro is beautiful and definitely worth visiting just plan your airport visit well and be prepared to wait and plan well.

We are from India and we are quite used to chaos. But this was our first chaotic experience at an airport. The airport made us appreciate great airport infrastructure back home! If you are landing here then you will find it super cute. But catching a flight from here makes things pretty adventurous. Read further to know what you as a passenger should do! Positives 1. Closer to Kotor and Budva. Tivat is a much more scenic place as compared to Podgorica if one needs to halt here. 2. Very scenic airport - getting in and out of Montenegro from here feels good ! Negatives 1. Its a very small airport complex - not meant to hold such high air traffic. 2. The queuing system is completely broken - no barriers , so you just don't know the starting point of queue and which queue is for what. It leads to chaos. There is no signage and hardly anyone to guide as well. So the moment one enters into the airport one feels lost !! 3. Little facilities of a typical airport : A small cafe outside, a very tiny duty free shop, small seating space, no water refill stations. All you see is a huge crowd. What should you as a passenger do : 1. Reach early to avoid hassle. We reached 2.5 hours early and we were fine. Reaching 3 hours early would make things more comfortable. 2. Be mentally prepared for chaos and stay calm. 3. Get some food packed from a local Pakara ( Bakery) , have half a litre of water to stay hydrated. 4. Seek help - if you see a staff or even fellow passengers - ask them which queue is for what. 5. Scan the layout of the airport : the moment you enter Terminal 1 - the ticketing booths/gates for you to get boarding passes are are right in the front and passport control is on the left. Step 1 is to check the board for your flight ticketing gate. Ask the security staff to let you inside and join the queue for your ticketing gate. Once you get the boarding pass, join the queue for passport control. There was no queue initially for us and we had to find our place in the queue. But then gradually a proper queue started to form. Things become more structured and ease a bit after passport control is done! 6. Since there is a limited seating place near boarding gates - if you are a young person, let an older person sit and if you are an older person - don't suffer silently. Do request a younger person for a seat. 7. Don't leave your souvenir shopping for airport. The duty free shop is a pretty small one. This airport doesn't have much to keep you occupied. So the responsibility of keeping yourself entertained lies with you :) Hope the local government improves the airport infrastructure or at least have adequate staff and improves the queuing system. Meanwhile as passengers, do brace yourself for a lot of chaos!

Very small and busy - had to squeeze though very long security queue get to even get to check in desk. Huge thanks to a lady working there called Sonja who helped us with fast tracking for our child - the epitome of kind professionalism, gave us all our options and walked us through. Only one desk to check boarding passes hence the long queue. Vending machines, tpiketsand duty free only on airside. Staff clear and helpful.
