Aeroporto Francisco Sá Carneiro

This was a great, very friendly little airport. Though small, it seemed extremely updated and clean. I found the metro station easily to get into the city.

Big easy airport ultra modern. It took a 20 second assessment to figure it out. Many neat thugs to look at so if you got time spend it here.

El aeropuerto de Porto (u Oporto) tiene todo lo necesario para ser un buen aeropuerto para que sea cómodo y funcional.
A pesar de encontrarse a las afueras de la ciudad, y pertenecer a la ciudad de Maia, existe una linea de metro que cruza Oporto desde el Norte (donde se encuentra el aeropuerto) hasta el estadio do Dragao. Para ello debes coger la linea morada o linha E (línea que se puede coger desde el centro de la ciudad) y tarda una media hora en llegar a nuestro destino.
El aeropuerto es nuevo y me recuerda un poco a la nueva terminal 4 del aeropuerto de Barajas, muy amplio y bien distribuido.
Para acceder la puerta de embarque sólo tienes que entrar por la puerta principal del aeropuerto y encontrarla de frente.
Dispone de wifi gratuito mediante conexión Hot-​Spot, que funciona muy bien y está disponible durante 30 minutos.
Además sin ser un aeropuerto internacional, existen muchos vuelos por toda la península y otras partes de Europa.
En definitiva, un lugar de paso como es un aeropuerto, pero muy cómodo y muy bien comunicado.

No es un aeropuerto muy grande, pero con los servicios suficientes y bastante funcional. Muy bien comunicado con la capital sobretodo porque tienes una linea de metro que va directamente al centro de Oporto en unos 25 – 30 minutos. Aunque la frecuencia de paso no es demasiado elevada, cada 30 minutos aproximadamente, por lo menos en fin de semana que es cuando lo he utilizado.
Ir con tiempo ya que aunque no había mucha gente se formó una buena cola para pasar el control de seguridad ya el control de equipaje de mano es un poco lento. Por cierto wifi gratis y varios puntos con ordenadores con conexión a Internet gratuita. Fantástico para pasar el rato mientras esperas a coger tu avión.

One of the friendliest airports I have been to, and I have been to a few at 5 continents. The security is very efficient, seating is plentiful and the size is just right to do a little shopping while still being able not to loose your kids.
The free WIFI certaily adds some points and the stands with chargers for your phone or laptop is a nice touch. If you do not have your phone at hand you can use free PC’s with the internet. No Starbucs here (just Burger King), however you will not miss it in a cozy and clean cafés and restaurants which are not overpriced. Buy some local sweets and the bottle (or two) of an excellent Port wine and you are good to go.

Relativamente pequeño pero cómodo, funcional y práctico. Wifi gratis ilimitado si te tomas un par de minutos para registrarte en la página del proveedor del servicio y con varios locales de comida y souvenirs a precios un poco más económicos que otros aeropuertos europeos que he visitado. Algo que me gustó es la especie de «balcón» donde los familiares y amigos pueden ver hacia abajo la zona de abordaje y alargar las despedidas o adelantar los saludos de bienvenida!!! Conectado al centro de la ciudad con una línea de metro con trenes cada 20 minutos (salvo muy temprano en la mañana). Lo único que comentaría es que en temporada alta tomes provisiones porque se puede acumular mucha gente en los controles de seguridad… pero esto podría aplicar a cualquier aeropuerto.

Very small airport, but very new & fresh feeling! Lots of food options, including some familiar spots if you’re American (hi Burger King!). Signage is much better that Lisbon Airport (LIS). Design is much better — open, airy, you don’t mind sitting around waiting for your flight to board. You wouldn’t imagine this was one of the smaller airports in the grand scheme of things. Loved it. Would much rather fly into there than LIS.

L’aéroport de Porto est très grand. Vous pourrez y rejoindre toute l’Europe !
Beaucoup de boutiques et de restaurants pour passer le temps entre deux vols.
De plus, il est très clair. Malgré la taille, on né s’y perd pas ! Et le métro y arrive directement, ce qui permet de rejoindre très facilement le centre ville.

Freies WiFi, großartig. (Man muss sich registrieren, es werden aber keine Bestätigungs-​SMS bzw. –Mails versandt).
Tipp: Zum Vodafone-​Stand gehen und dort günstig Datenvolumen kaufen (und ggf. einen MiFi /​Mobile-​Wireless-​Router), damit man unterwegs ohne Roaminggebühren online sein kann. («Internet no tablet e no computador». 4 GB /​7 Tage, 12,50 Euro Pre-​Paid-​Tarif «Go 7 dias» /​
[Stand: 06/​15])

Easy in and out airport. No fuss and things are easy to find. Security is a breeze – if you are prepared. Metro is also nearby — just a few steps away.
Variety of shops in this airport. Duty free, coffee shop, few souvenir shops, and a few atms.
Clean airport and nice seating area.

Pues a mi el aeropuerto de oporto me gusta: porque tiene un rato de wifi gratis, porque es super luminoso, porque es super espacioso, con techos super altos y no esta atestado de gente, ni de ruido, ni de sitios chungos para comer y que te peguen un sablazo, ni de tiendas, vas te sientas y ves a la gente pasar, salir los aviones y te lees un libro, ya que tienes que esperar relájate y disfruta que no hace falta buscar una tienda de souvenirs detras de cada esquina ni un macdonalds. Dedicate un tiempo y mira a tu alrededor que es super entretenido. Si con eso no te vale hay ordenadores con conexion a internet de uso libre y gratuito.

Nice modern airport. Easy to get to by metro. Takes about 30 mins to city center.
Easy check in.
Has lots of stores and restaurants.
Facility is very new and clean.

So cute! So friendly! The difference between this little gem, and say, the Florence airport is night and day. Clean, modern, and full of little places to eat and well staffed tourist shops, it was a pleasant place to pass the time before our flight to London. Free (limited) wifi. And a direct metro ride to the entrance of the airport! All wonderful things that many US east coast airports don’t offer.

Cute little airport. Everything is within arms length. Some rules and regulations are kind of stupid but that’s mainly the airline not the airport. Traveling thru is a breeze.

A small airport that feels very new. Past security, there’s lots of nice shops and a stage for live music. There’s a playground for kids and lounge chairs for people to lay down on. Restaurant wise it seems a bit hit or miss, and a lot of it is currently under renovation.
Wifi is free for 30 minutes on a Boingo Hotspot, not much, but better than what Newark has for free, which is 0 minutes.
My flight to Newark from here was late, but I blame TAP, not this airport. I think they were missing an incoming crew from Lisbon.

Un aeropuerto moderno y versatil, de acceso facil y rapido en coche desde el centro de la ciudad (20min), acceso directo en metro también, con un duty free que te permite comprar lo mejor de Oporto a buen precio sobre todo si nos quieres facturar maleta.

Je pense que les subventions européennes en sont pour quelque chose car l’aéroport de Porto est magnifique, moderne, spacieux, lumineux. Pour un pays qui a traversé la crise, cet aéroport est un petit bijoux.
Le design de l’aéroport est futuriste avec beaucoup de baie vitrées, un peu comme l’aéroport de Pékin mais en plus petit bien sur. L’espace est bien agencé avec de nombreuses boutiques. Wifi gratuit la premier demi-​heure.
Il y a un service de navette gratuite pour chaque loueur de voiture qui se trouve à coté de l’aéroport.
Une référence pour tous les aéroports dans des villes de taille moyenne.

O Aeroporto Francisco Sá Carneiro é bem mais pequeno que o de Lisboa, mas não deixa de ser uma infraestrutura considerável. Bem servido de transporte públicos, a correria e a azáfama das chegadas e partidas dos viajantes é em muito semelhante ao da capital, com a vantagem de ser a uma escala bem mais reduzida. O edificio é imponente e talvez um pouco sóbrio; ainda assim é uma obra de arquitetura e engenharia digna de contemplar, usar e disfrutar. Achei apenas, que este espaço poderia estar mais bem servido de lojas ou estabelecimentos de restauração.

This is one of the best smallest airports in Europe. Super comfortable, all the experience, shopping, boarding are smoothly operated by a high level staff. The only bad point is the lounge owned by TAP Portugal, a dreadful airline who don’t know how to treat passengers. A airport like this deserves a better lounge, managed by a proper airline.

Un bel exemple d’aéroport efficace et bien pensé !
Un métro qui s’arrête devant l’aéroport (hallejuia), une taille d’infrastructure parfaite, on né s’y perds pas mais on trouve tous les services attendus !
Rien à redire, il est facile de se rendre à Porto (ou d’en partir…), si je né m’abuses, l’aéroport São Carneiro est toujours bien positionné dans les classements concernant les aéroports…merci la fonctionnalité !

Porto’s airport almost gets a 5. Most other reviewers like it, too.
The Porto, or Oporto, metro area of northern Portugal is a very likable and manageable place, and so is this airport. It’s in a wooded suburb northwest of the center and fairly close to the ocean. In this case, wooded means eucalyptus trees! It’s reminiscent of the area between Salinas and Monterey, California in a way.
The airport is newer and airy. It does not feel cramped and breathes better than does Lisbon’s airport. This means that it can accommodate some growth. However, at certain hours of the day, a bunch of Ryan Air flights are boarding at roughly the same time and lines both inside the terminal and cordoned off on the tarmac can get long. The check-​in areas are ample, seem to be well laid out, and the service is reasonably friendly. All of the carriers seem to move their lines quickly, except for Ryan Air. (Ok, enough ragging on Ryan Air). Security lines are slightly longer than I’m used to, though not ridiculous, and they seem to be conscientious without being overly uptight. Being Portugal, getting a snack is cheaper than it is at Charles de Gaulle or Heathrow.
The layout is sort of typical. A large horizontal terminal is the dominant building, with various levels out in front, and with parking and the Metro accessed by going down an escalator or elevator, through a tunnel under the access road, and then up another escalator or elevator … or vice versa. Metro do Porto, configured as a light rail system, began to service this airport before heavy rail Metro de Lisboa came into Lisbon’s airport, so kudos to Porto’s governance.
I’m not quite at 5 with OPO for a few reasons. First, it is a little far from the city, and the Metro ride seems to take upward of half an hour because, in some parts, the violet E line moves slowly. The airport terminal is a bit much, with these huge concrete buttresses that look like a centipede’s or space ship’s legs. Also, there is more than a bit of boarding from the tarmac, though the medium-​sized aircraft belonging to major flag carriers use the jetways.
Francisco Sa Carneiro is a pleasant airport that matches the pleasant demeanor of the greater Porto area. However, I have yet to inquire what «Sa» means in Portuguese nomenclature.

vielleicht der schönste Flughafen in Europa

Also der Flughafen ist sehr gut, sehr viele Geschäfte und es gibt im Wartebereich sogar kostenlose Pc’s wo man ins Internet gehen kann. So geht die Wartezeit auf den Abflug sehr schnell um.

Der Flughafen Porto ist URLAUB.
Modern anzuschauen, es fehlt an nix. Im Wartebereich leckerer Kaffe. Gute Anbindung mit der sehr modernen Metro in die Urlaubsgebiete die Küste entlang.
Schön: Man fliegt meist über den DOURO, golden.

Decent amount of shops and places to eat, much more once you go through the departure gates.
Most things in the food shops were more expensive than what you would pay in town, but that is fairly normal for airports.

I love the small airports all over the world. You feel a little bit like in the 80ies (or 70ies or 60ies depends on the city!).
Porto airport is one of my favorites due to its clarity and charm. You will feel at home at once. If you travel to the north of Portugal chosse this destination. It is worth a ride.

Nice and tidy airport. You can stay there overnight (to catch the early Ryanair flights, for example). Yellow Metro line to the city centre (25 min, 4 EUR), from 06:00 to 01:00.

Aéroport à taille humaine propre et bien relié au centre ville par le tramway tout neuf.
Au retour, la zone duty free offre beaucoup de choix, notamment de Porto. Heureusement puisqu’avec les contrôles, il est impossible de passer la douanes avec des bouteilles.

Excelente comunicación por metro con el centro de la ciudad linea Morada.
El Aeropuerto Francisco Sa Carneiro es muy nuevo, está abierto todo el día, pero por la noche cierran a las 12 y hasta las 6 no vuelven a abrir, pero sigue abierto al público, nosotros estuvimos durmiendo allí, ya que nuestro vuelo no salía hasta las 6 d ela mañana y el metro no empezaba a funcionar desde ésa hora.

It wasn’t summer so that accounts for some of the lack of people. But this airport, like so much of the spanking new tourist infrastucture in Porto, is being used to about 10 percent of its capacity.
This airport feels like it could rival charles de gaul or Melbourne. Just an endless processions of glass roofs, shiny floors and steel columns. I think we were at gate 29 and we had to walk past 28 other completely empty gates to get to our flight.
Either this place is really full in summer or some politicians are very hopeful about the future of tourism here. (or they have shares in an airport building company).
The facilities were OK though. People were friendly, there was more than one resaurant open and a selection of shops.
Bit post apocalyptic but otherwise not a bad joint.
