Excellent airport
     by Engineerfromaussie (May, 2013)
Where: Landside and Airside
Pros: Efficient, quiet, pleasant, quick
Cons: Uncertainty as to whether I could get transport to a hotel at Petra
I read a lot of negative reviews of Queen Alia, and I was aprehensive. However, my experience was great - faultless and in my experience (I travel a lot) far far better than the airports at home where the people making the adverse comments came from.
The visa arrangements were good, quick and efficient on arrival, very little waiting, baggage cleared quickly. Staff were friendly. Airport is new and very well designed.
On departure, it was the same - quick, efficient, very little waiting, pleasant staff willing to allow a little lattitude on baggage etc. Free Wifi.
One area where there could be improvement is with respect to the arrangements regarding ground transportation - I couldnt determine in advance from any website whether I would be able to get ground transportation from the airport to Petra (which is 3 hours drive away), s continued >>Was this Helpful?
Not bad for Central America
by triwinner (May, 2013)
Reason for Stay: Early flight departure
Where: Landside
Pros: Best Western is accross the street.
Cons: Airport is small with limited srives
No reason to sleep in airport. Best Western hotel is accross the street. It is cheap and nice. It is also easy for a Gringo to enter the First Class lounge. They do not really check tickets.Was this Helpful?
No complaints :)
by Banana (May, 2013)
Reason for Stay: Connection between flights
Where: Airside
Pros: Safe, quiet, considerate
Cons: Lights and no down comforters
I was told at 10pm to take the free bus over to terminal one, where I was taken alone by a friendly driver. I went through security again, they were very nice, and they told me to make my way down to gate 2 where everyone would stay for the night. None of those seats have armrests so everyone can stretch out and there are even a few recliners you cn snag if you get there befor the other over-nighters. The lights go out in half the room and there are a few airport personal there to watch everyone. Then at almost 4am everyone is woken up and herded to another lounge area (probably to clean where we just were before the first passengers start arriving at 5). We slept in this new area a little longer, but this time with full lights, tv on and workers walking around. The airport starts getting busy around 5 or 530, but no one minds if you keep continued >>Was this Helpful?
Very convenient airport :-)
by Travelking (May, 2012)
Reason for Stay: Connection between flights
Where: Landside
Pros: Comfy sofas, chargers, 24/7 food and beverage service
Cons: Poor info from the airport crew, a bit noisy at times
I arrived at T5 at 10:40 PM, was told to take the bus to T1, waited patiently for half an hour for a bus that's supposed to leave every 8 minutes and gave up, went up on the top floor, was asked by airport personnel to go to security and then to the landside. I talked to security and they told
me that the last bus left att 10:30 PM...
I worked instead of sleeping since I had an early flight to New york at 8:30 because I wanted to sleep on my flight to be on the right time when I landed.
Good service here, M&S was open 24h as well as caf Costa that has very comfy sofas that many used to lie down and sleep on. The ordinary sofas
are quite hard but they have chargers for laptops even if you don't have an adapter - I didn't, very nice, I spent part of my time there and part of my time working from a sofa at caf Costa.
At around 2 the continued >>Was this Helpful?
Very Comfortable Stay at night
by rajtendulkar (May, 2013)
Reason for Stay: Early flight departure
Where: Landside
Pros: Lot of people were there.
Cons: There was cleaning noise.
I had a comfortable sleep-over at Lyon Airport. There were many types of places to sleep. Some modern designs, or beach like long chairs, cushioned seating at the airport. The cleaning staff was doing its job in unharmed way. There were some announcements going on. But there were lot of people sleeping over at night. I think there was no air-conditioning running. I felt cold, since the temperature went down to 6 at night. Apart from that, there was no problem at all.Was this Helpful?
