Aeroporto G. Marconi di Bologna Review

To be the airport of Bologna .. I expected much more, kind and competent staff

ABSURD!! 3 flights at 6 am and gates not open until 5 am. Queue before halfway through the airport. Congratulations on embracing!

Airport Pts small and a lot of people, not comfortable.

Unthinkable that arriving at midnight, there are no buses available. Infinite queue for the taxi. Bad business card

I can t believe you have to pay for trolleys for arriving passengers!
Family queue for immigration was useful with a baby

Almost no place to sit, undersized areas and poorly organized compared to the average number of passengers

Small airport with modern facilities. Fast security check. Easy to find your way out if you re on arrivals and your way in on departures. Right outside there is a bus station that takes you to the city center. There are taxis too.

Airport is small and easy to access all gates. There is a supermarket in ground floor you can buy what you need. After security check, there is no place for smoking.

Poor parking, files everywhere. Transfer to and from airplanes by bus, file x absurd passport control. It no longer stands up to the increase in passengers in recent years.

excellent service!!! as an airport it is one of the best for me

Great airport, Small one, have lots of flights across the Europe and outside. it has frequent connection to city center and railway station.

Bad organization ... expensive car parks and no flag carrier competing with the Dublin lady!

The baggage handlers and those at sportelo to check the luggage and the ducumenti are disorganisati and year an obrusco behavior you will want to give 0 stars but nn gives me them

Slack. They ask for age e-mails despite having the number and e-passport. In Canada they asked for nothing.

Airport itself is not bad ... Compact, convenient, everything close. Only problem: luggage assistance and passport control, I often spend more than 1 hour waiting for customers.

Small growing airport.
Shops ok, services ok (the only flaw the carts are paid only with coins and not with cards or banknotes)
However, the connection to the city is limited to an unsatisfactory bus and taxis for now.
Links with cities of the world good to be so small.

And since I hadn't been there, the baggage check today seemed better than usual.

A sign FROM HERE TO THEN YOU CANNOT SMOKE I'd put it because people imagine a common area like any other airport, rude staff

PESSIMO Kiss and Fly, with a 10-minute entrance and exit barrier when a passenger, even if the plane is on time, can lose time between customs and baggage checks for which queues and parking spaces are formed along the roundabouts and neighboring streets. It only serves to STEAL money for those who do not have to park but only stay for half an hour. Also on 3 times I went 2 times the exit bar was blocked.

Queues everywhere, expensive and dilapidated parking spaces, to get in and out you have to be rally drivers, bars with huge cash desks to take money and small counters to have a coffee, employees in groups leaning against the counter chatting, regardless of who has to leave. to go to some gates, you have to do the gymnastics between the stalls of the shops. I hope it's not an image of the city.

But a newsstand cost too much in the gate area? Instead of putting stores like the duchy. Disorganized is nothing short

Leaving....
BLQ bus connecting the airport station with service (05:00 - 00:15) at the cost of 6 each way ..
People Mover (train station connection airport not yet active) at a cost of 8.5 each way ...
Queues at parking lots, when there's room! (Parking very expensive compared to the rest of the airports from which I traveled)
Code for security checks with waiting times of 45 minutes!
Environment (ground floor and first floor) of poor size. It seems to be at a concert in the square.
Non-existent air conditioning in summer, excessive heating in winter.
Little choice on where to eat and only during daylight hours.
Gate piled up with passengers mixing with those of other gates.
Poor directions (parking, toilets, gates, refreshment area, police offices) unless you ask the staff at the airport.
No smoking aircraft.
Business Lounge before police checks for those traveling in extra-Schengen (never seen before).
Seats for a few people.
And in the end I lose my flight despite going to the airport 3 hours earlier.

Arriving...
Return baggage (better to send with the post office or a courier rather than embarking the suitcase in the hold).
Very expensive taxis because after midnight the airport bus station is suspended until 5 am.

You need to be patient and it will be more and more organic and modern (I say this because I work on construction sites)

Excellent airport, in continuous growth and with excellent organization

The tourist who arrives in Bologna, especially foreign, is of immediate hit from the known efficiency of the Italian country. In fact, after endless hours of flight, he finds himself in front of an endless passport control. Once this test is over, he will expect to find the baggage that awaits him on the conveyor belt, but unfortunately this does not happen until after another 20/30 minutes. But the final test of this taste of the country comes with the expected taxi. If the unfortunate person has found an event such as a fair, congress, birthday or stag party, the wait may last for over an hour. In short, what better business card for those who want to invest in tourism than an airport that is slow in its trademark? P. . I travel frequently for work and I am writing this comment in the taxi rank, living in Bologna I consider unacceptable the operation of the airport of a city that, like few other Italian cities, is growing thanks to tourism. P. P. S. What is the People mover for if I then take the 1.30 / 2 hours from landing to the train?

Comfortable kiss & fly parking for short term parking.

Our Guglielmo Marconi International Airport is simply gorgeous, huge, historic and modern at the same time ... those who criticize for free go for a ride elsewhere ... then ok, everything and everyone can improve, but always doing bad publicity is enough, not you can do more! I've always found myself beautifully ...

Airports in Italy never shine, and this makes no difference. Neglected and dirty.

Tortuous and not at all reported to arrive at the entrances after parking in paid areas; payment by ATM is also difficult

Airport equipped with several shops, clean and well organized !!!

Among the worst airports I've visited. Continuous delay in baggage delivery, too much confusion and little space at the gates, when you arrive you unload on one side of the airport, you have to travel it all in length to get out of the controls and then return to cover almost everything to be able to get out. Situation parking collapse. The situation of the arms that should connect the gate to the aircraft is ridiculous. Passengers have increased and services have decreased.

Not too many places to sit and wait for flight, also hard to find charging places at the gate.

Beautiful but it would be nice if you were flying to the USA in the east and Australia

To be improved .... above all x the endless files at the controls managed with few staff.

Based on my consolidated experience, bad and therefore to be avoided in two ways:
- the arrogance, if not worse, of the personnel of the company in charge of security controls on baggage at the access gates to the boarding area;
- parking fees.

Probably the worst aeroport were I been until today.
Big queues to pass security. Before the security you have to do another queue where you can validate your ticket. In this last place I found a really rude employer called Maria, that not only talk me in a very aggressive way because I didn't have enough bright on my phone, but also because she refused to give me her identity.
After pass the security, you have no place to wait for your gate number, you have to stand in front of the screen creating a big confusion.
The bathroom was dirty, full of paper in the floor.

Shops and bars in the middle of the boarding gates, rows everywhere, few chairs, access to the plane through stairs and a non-air conditioned corridor.
I think it's the worst airport in Italy, and fortunately it's not in the south.
Security is optional.
Congratulations!!

In winter the airport is too warm with tropical temperatures. Lower the temperature thanks.

Intercontinental airport of central and northern Italy not huge but not even small with all the services for departing / arriving passengers has about 55/60 check-in desk, cafeterias first floor dishes on the ground floor, duty-free and boarding gate at the upper floor. Together with that of Verona, they are the only ones together with that of Rimini that offer flights to countries in Central-Eastern Russia, Georgia, Armenia and the only green leader to fly directly from Italy. Bologna airport is growing in number of destinations and passengers, especially useful to avoid leaving from Malpensa and Fiumicino that serve only the main cities in the world, while Bologna to more unambiguous destinations offers direct flights at most 1 example (Bologna) moskva sheremetyevo-Petropavlovsk-kam atskij or yuzhno sakhalinsk). Bologna Airport is connected to the rest of the world by 2015 with fly-emirates, which offers daily flights to Dubai with a 368-passenger boeing 777-300er. Other cities in the world reachable through a stopover in Rome-FCO with alitalia are
Santiago of Chile
Mauritius

L'Avana
Johannesburg
Los Angeles
New-York JFK
Tokyo narita
Rio de Janeiro

Bad airport, baggage often with an abundant hour of delay. No one who assumes the resiliibility of the thing. File exaggerate to controls. No desire to correct yourself over the years.

A modern airport. Quick check operations. I arrived by motorbike from Florence and found parking at P1 a few steps from the terminal for 5 a day. It was at least five years since I left Bologna and found the airport much improved and more modern.

Poor airport with bad or non-existent services. Among the worst in Italy, they make you waste a lot of time on everything, the worst part is the baggage claim. But is there an airport manager or someone who realizes the infinite problems ??? To say the least shameful

That bald gentleman at the info counter is having a hard time answering. Either he works for free or earns so little that he doesn't want to work.

It has all the connections with the main European airports. Easy access from the highway. There are no queues for security checks

An airport that collapses easily, along with all its services

Bad airport for passport control and suitcase collection .. I hope you take action because you feel sorry !!

Bad airport services: in a wheelchair I waited 15min on the shuttle for the arrival of an assistant to disembark me and bring me inside the airport + another 25 minutes just inside the airport in the exit corridor waiting for another assistant to meet me took you out of the airport ..
The information service on the phone the first time they slammed me down the phone saying that there was nothing they could do and that they had no immediate solution, while the second time they tergiversated on the phone and put me on hold.
Nice service congratulations ...
Dirty air terminal ..
Toilets are better than those railway stations ..
And that makes this airport useful ..

valid for me and more and more expanding and renewing ... hoping that the automatic shuttle with the central train season will go into operation since it is more than a year that it should be active!

The airpoirt is really good and well-serviced. Many national and international connections. The bus that carries you from the center of Bologna is a bit expensive.

No decent food choices. Dirty toilets. Small and cramped. Passport line at the arrival was horrible.

With the recent modernization the airport has become much more efficient and usable. It is a pity that the rail connection with the Bologna station is not operational and the timing of completion is not known.

At the first call, after 3 minutes of waiting, the line fell. At the second, after 7 minutes of waiting, I closed myself. They should call it "Disservizio" by telephone, not "service", since it serves no purpose and only wastes time. And let's leave Wi-Fi, ridiculous, and the rest

One of the airports with total disorganization, how do they manage an airport in this way?

If you come out at Bologna airport, everything goes fast. Short ways, everything makes a clean impression. The often overcrowded bus in the city center for 6 (tourist bus) I do not find useful. The airport should be better connected to public transport.

They do not clearly warn of mishaps, thereby treating passengers with despotism. Using Sar2 or Covid as an excuse as if he were the one who pays them their salary or had a direct friendship with him. In bad weather they make you look bad.

The border is a mess. Badly organised and slow. Ruined trip.

Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport is a small but well organized airport. Free duty stores are small and from what I've seen the prices are quite high. At the gates on the left from 17 to 24 there was only one restaurant and when I arrived it was closed. Regarding the prose for recharging the phone, there is only one station with 7 sockets and 7 USB that handles quite quickly, so if you are traveling, I recommend that you have a triple plug with you.

Endless waiting for baggage claim. Endless waiting to get to boarding. For car rental pick up or delivery, if it rains you get wet etc etc etc

Bologna airport is not very large, but serving to the Bologna province as an international airport.

The airport also known as Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), is situated 6 km northwest of the city centre and 200 km southeast of Milan. Counting about 7 000 000 passengers in 2015, it is the 7th busiest Italian airport. Their official website provides a guide for travelling passengers upon their arrival or departure.

Travelling to and from the airport is easy, but there is only one bus to choose from. You can board at the Central Railway Station (Stazione Centrale).

Unable to talk to the lost baggage office. In response times it is always busy and in the rare cases in which it responds freely there is the tape that communicates the times and then detaches the line. Indecent.

Monday, June 24, 2019 17.25 hours, I'm going to return the car to the parking P4 Bologna, 30 degrees in the sun and the dust, I could not find the car and having no reference points, parking is pretty much a field, wonder help to the employee who answers: the car L has parked she is she knows where L has put her. I asked for his name and surname and he didn't give me, I will claim with pec. It is shameful that a person in distress is not helped, of course this is true always, but is even more incomprehensible that after a payment for a service it feels respond this way as an employee with their car fifteen minutes would be used to maximum to turn around the parking lot and find mine.

Impossible to park! I entered the kiss to fly .. I have a Vito and 'tall 198cm .. to go out they charged me 10 Eur .. because' said they were 200cm tall..I've been only 5 min .. !! A disgusting! Also out at the roundabout there are always the police and do not let you stop even 1 min !! SHAME

Pro:
- small enough to be walked in 5-10 minutes to go anywhere
- usually fast boarding
- chaise longue (above the main escalators to go to departures) allow patrons to sleep in the event of prolonged waits.
- Free Wi-Fi even if slow
- laptop / cellphone charging stations
- some noteworthy shops and businesses such as "Nonna Vincenza"

Versus:
- Check-in in a not very comfortable area
- Additional turnstiles at the beginning of the FILE for security checks further slow down the flow of departures.
- for those arriving by car: kiss and fly free within 15 minutes, attention arriving as people unfamiliar with this service often stop instead on the roundabout

Had a very bad experience waiting very long at the check-in queue. The check-in ladies took long italian talking pauses.

I have never had any problems and it is very comfortable, but inside there is nothing, talking about food and shops, there is not much to do while you wait

Having a sauna in the bus right now. Apparently it s the only way to get from the gate to the plane, even when the plane is literally less than 100m walk from you...

Small airport but with all the services, it has shops and restaurants, free Wi-Fi and charging points. Well connected to the center through Buses and Taxis (Around 16)

They have to do something for the parking lots for those who only have to accompany someone it's inconvenient

Almost an hour of waiting for luggage, but is it possible that the incompetent or the incompetent responsible cannot be kicked home?

The bars are a little too expensive as the prices are very nice and helpful ....

All well organized. When you land but you enter the airport, the way out is too long and wide. They should at least create a pass for those who do not have the baggage to collect.

Friendly and helpful staff, a bit in line on departure with Ryanair

Probably the least functional airport in "civilized" Europe.
Insufficient signs on the motorway and ring road.
Parking spaces without reporting the parking number. People who park for days in the middle of lanes, blocking them, forcing other users to go around them (elsewhere they would take them away with the tow truck but in Bologna - according to the staff - it can't be done !!)
Outside the pedestrian lanes are not marked and you have to wander among the cars to find a passage.
Endless queues at security checks.
Staff at the controls (insufficient) who amiably chatting about their business (sorry if we disturb you ...).
Inadequate catering, absurd lines in the morning at rush hour to get a receipt for a coffee (once again insufficient staff).
Some Gates have no seats, (because the space priority is for "Duty free", not for passengers who can stand up for an hour).
Frequent delays in departure, and on arrival obviously you do not get to the fingers, which are not completed even after 5 years "of work in progress".
On the other hand, when the plane arrives the bus is never there, forcing waits of up to 15 min. ! !
Luggage trolleys for a fee, without even returning the currency (unique in the world in my experience).
Toilet with cleanliness unworthy of third world countries. With stinks to be ashamed of being Italian.
Overly unionized staff or inept managers?
Posterity will judge.

Arriving at 3 am, opening the car to exit the car in the parking lot P5 did not work, the call button did not work. When he returned to his car, he did not reopen yet. By chance found a rude attendant who opened. Bad service

Maybe I was lucky but I'm here no good restaurant queues with reasonable prices Rist La Ghiotta departures
