Norwich Airport

Small airport, seemed friendly enough but once you have your boarding pass you are then forced to pay an additional £10 per person before you can proceed to departures. No mention is made of this when booking your ticket, nor was it mentioned by the the check in crew. Absolute extortion when the facilities are rubbish. Once in the departures lounge there are only 2 aces to get any refreshments, both of which are poorly stocked and the staff seemed particularly unhelpful. Won’t be back to Norwich airport in a hurry, that’s for sure.

Small and made worse by the compulsory extortion fee of £10 or you can get on the plane.
Flybe made no mention of the extra ‘development fee’ when booking tickets.
Might have been better value to fly to London and drive to Norfolk.
Cheaper flights, more choice, better planes and no extortion at airport.

Sehr kleiner FLughafen, der unter andem die Halikopterzubringer für die Bohrinseln abfertigt.
Übersichtlich, kurze, schnelle Wege.
Für Besucher aus dem kontinentalen Europa ist er vermutlich seltener ein Ziel. Man kommt leider auch nur über Umwege wie Amsterdam dort hin und es fliegen nur kleinere Maschinen, die gerne überfüllt sind.

Welcome to Norwich International Airport. Yep, it really is international as they have scheduled flights from here to Amsterdam (a 50 minute flight). There are a number of domestic UK destinations. It’s also a popular holiday charter gateway with service to several warm places like Sharm El Sheikh and Tenerife.
I can’t say that I’ve utilized smaller airports, because this is dwarfed by White Plains NY and Lynchburg VA. And trust me, those are small airports!
Easy to access, they have a free first half hour parking and there are counters for a few of the major car rental agencies. Where most airports have built in the various concession fees and such into the ticket price, NWI requires that you purchase a £5 «airport expansion ticket» from a machine next to the security entrance. Weird.
Security was easy and very quick, though they made me discard a 118ml bottle of contact lens fluid (the limit is 100ml).
No free wifi, but there are a few power outlets you can plug in to for a last minute top-​up.

Omniport Holdings, the owners of Norwich airport seem to have taken what was once a pleasant and friendly little local airport and turned it into an overly priced (considering the supplements to fly from Norwich) and unpleasant experience for regular travellers. The £5 ‘Development Fee’ which is classed as a contribution which is not voluntary in today’s current climate is even more offensive than it was when they introduced it. For a family of 4, the fee almost now covers the petrol cost to drive to Luton or Stansted, where the facilities are far more numerous and varied. I personally have stopped using the airport as I would rather take a stance and drive an extra 40 minutes to an alternative airport, and if others would do the same it would force omniport to remove this unjust fee. No other business I know is allowed, once you purchase your ticket, to add an un-​announced supplement to pay for work which should come from the companies already substantial profits. The fact that Flybe have pulled out in protest says much about the companies couldn’t care less attitude. Hopefully a government petition will prompt an investigation into this.

Great airport. Although it is a bit more expensive to fly from here, you don’t have the huge queues you have in other airports and it’s easy to park or catch the bus.
The airport hasn’t done itself many favours with a few home goals, like the airport development fee, which they said they were getting rid of and instead have permanently implemented. Also the security issues, which the local news kept highlighting. Probably worst of all the very public disagreements with Fly-​be.
Regardless, the airport is still good to use and is hugely more convenient than Luton, Stansted, Heathrow or Gatwick.
Here’s hoping they sort out their issues and find other airlines that will expand the routes available.

Great relaxed atmosphere.
Juat flown norwich to manchester and it couldn’t have been a more relaxed journey if i tried.
Check in was easy and quick with polite friendly service.
Security checks were thorough but easy going, making the relaxed easy feeling even better.
There is a £5 airport fee which everyone has to pay, but if this keeps norwich airport as good as it is, it is a small price to pay.
Overall a really pleasant experience.

This is my local airport and while it is nice being able to travel from a small, friendly airport (and the staff really are great) there are a few minus points:
Where you used to be able to sit in the café and watch the planes, this is no longer possible.
Once you’ve checked in, if you want to go through to departures, you have to buy a £5 ticket! This is all going towards the airport expansion plans but a ripoff if you ask me!

Small, clean airport a couple of miles outside Norwich city centre– I flew to Norwich for a friends wedding, they only have small planes so you have to walk across the runway and into the baggage hall, which is a great break from endless carpetted corridors! They have atm/​bureau de change, café, bar, newsagents, duty free shop and really nice new toilets with hair straighteners. The main operator out of the airport is fly be. When you fly out of the airport you have to pay a £5 airport development fee, and you’ll have to buy a voucher before you can leave and get on your flight, the first time i’ve ever heard of such a thing! It does the job though and staff are very friendly, the taxi rank is just outside.
