Aéroport de Caen Carpiquet

Mon salon est presque plus grand que l’aéroport…

So Caen airport is one of those small regional airports which only open when they are expecting a flight, so don’t get here to early in the morning otherwise you could be waiting outside.
There is a café/​bar area that opened, when I was there at 09:15, and had a good selection of hit, cold and alcoholic beverages. A bit early for me but some were on the red wine!
They do provide you with free wifi but you have to supply a valid email address to get the confirmation code otherwise you get cut off after 15 minutes and who wants that!
The check in staff were friendly and efficient, I mean there was two people in front of me and they dispatched them quickly and did the same with me. Big airports take note!
The downside is that once you go through security that’s it there is nothing to do, no where to walk you are literally stuck in a small waiting area. So my tip is wait as long as you can before you go through.
When you do decide to go through as you approach security you have to had your passport & boarding pass through a window for security to check and they stamp your boarding pass. I mention that as when you then go to put your bag through the scanners they ask to see your boarding pass so don’t put it away to quickly!
Once you do go through there is a small vending machine on the other side. Toilets are also available and then seats to sit on and that’s all there is.
