Not a great experience. Security is haphazard and for some reason you have to go through twice: once at the entry to the airport and then again to get to the departure lounge. They threw a long, weird, unnecessary fit because I forgot to take my laptop out of my carry on before the scanner...just ask me!... They kept aggressively asking what I had in my boots and took them away to check either because I had long hair or just to piss me off. Didn't have any little bags for toiletries but didn't stop me bringing them in without. Guy at the cafe tried to shortchange me, you go into the toilet to wash your hands and the guy expects a tip. You fill your water bottle airside, the guy expects another tip for standing there watching you do it. It's a slightly soul crushing experience but no real problems in terms of serious delays or anything. Don't buy food at the airport if you can help it, go to the cafe in the petrol station next door.
