Cologne Bonn Airport

Recent Review

by eviljared
We stayed at Cologne for one pretty long night in october. Our plane from Olbia arrived at about 11:00 PM and our next flight to Malaga departured at 06:30 AM, so we had more than 7 hours at CGN. After X 3143 from OLB arrived we first looked for some free and comfortable benches but it was impossible to find any. We've been three people and so our chances to find 3 free benches was all but possible. After walking through the airport for over one hour we went to the upper level, where the visitor terrace is located. That was really a lucky strike. On the upper level there was nobody, it was a bit more dark and there was pretty much space. So we took out our TUIfly pillows and blankets and lied down there. In the night came a few visitors to watch out of the window, or to try to come on the terrace (which certainly os closed at night) That was pretty bothersome, but I was able to sleep at least one or two hours.
One more, very bothersome point are the announcements! I really do not understand why it is essential to do announcements about the new safety restrictions of liquids in hand luggage or: Please do not leave your baggage unattended. And always there was that horrible gong, so you woke up with every announcement.
One nice thing was that among the place we were sleeping there was a restaurant with an own bakery and so at about 4 o'clock the sweet smell of fresh baked buns came to our "sleeping-place".
All in all I think I would sleep again at CGN. It wasn't the best sleep I've ever had, but It was okay.
