Well, that's it. Toilets and water can be made for people. Otherwise, it's just business. But it is very convenient that you can leave immediately upon arrival at least to Amster by train. Cool! And to the city. And everything is clear and convenient.
I was back in 2019. We arrived 2 hours before departure. We immediately got into a mess at the check-in desk, when several flights were brought to one counter, an insane queue formed. But we were lucky that we were without suitcases, so we quickly found an electronic check-in desk and printed out tickets there. Then we ran into a huge queue at passport control. It was something with something, there are no words just how to describe this standing for more than 1 hour. In short, when we got out of passport control, we had literally 3 minutes left before the end of boarding at St. Petersburg. And here is another ambush of these European airports, this is, as always, a long-distance gate to land. We ran headlong , literally 2 minutes before the end of boarding , we managed to board the plane.
Quite comfortable. We were looking for Turkish airlines, which is interesting, the information department told us that a representative was moaning at the airport, but we accidentally turned to some stall and their location was indicated to us
Everything is fine! The airport is very beautiful and stylish! The fastest Internet connection, excellent environment and have a good time before boarding the plane.
A good, clear, simple airport. There are a lot of information manicators, a lot of places to give away, so 5 hours passed quickly, there are shops, prices bite, be prepared
The paid toilets surprised me! Keep in mind, payment is only by cards for going to the toilet... we gave coins to kind people and they paid with a card. Nonsense of course

A large airport. There are many different shops, cafes, places to wait for the flight. It is convenient that the train comes directly to the airport, and from the airport you can come to the very center, where all the sights of Brussels are.
Some kind of ridiculous airport. I didn't understand its meaning at all. We flew in transit from London, arrived, left, right now there is nothing to do with the transit zone at all, despite the fact that it is unrealistically huge and it is not clear at all why such a long huge transit zone is needed if there is the minimum possible number of people there. In short, I don't know what else to say, well, we drank whiskey between flights, I have nothing more to add
I have been to many airports and I will say that I thought it would be cooler for Brussels. there are few cafes, and most importantly, they waited at the registration of Turkish lines for 2 hours, the queue barely moved. We could have put more operators at the racks.
A modest and uncomfortable airport by the standards of Europe. There are plenty of places to wait and a table in a cafe. In need of serious repair and updating.
The staff is polite and always ready to help. But there is nowhere to wait for your flight for a long time. People are sleeping on the floor. There is a hotel nearby, but it is very expensive.
A “small“ pleasant airport with good shops and a business lounge. The latter (for flights outside Schengen) is located after all controls (as in Russia) above the street with gates. Inside there is an assortment of alcohol, including bottled Belle-Vue Kriek and 2 varieties of Leffe through a bartender.
We got into a sunny day in winter – it was a little hot on the sunny side!
The airport, like everywhere else in Europe, is not very large, but it has its own nuances. All cafes with food and drinks close at 10 pm, if the flight is at night, then there will be nowhere to eat ((There are not many people in the departure area, there are a lot of seats, they have units for recharging phones and gadgets, only a shoelace is needed. I was pleased with the principle of boarding the plane: first the business, then they let the tail section and then the central one, as a result - there is no traffic jam in the aisle, they came up with a good idea.

A normal airport, close to the city, transport accessibility is approx. It's not cramped inside. Unless it became fashionable late in the evening, when Aeroflot leaves on the last flight, to leave only one passageway open through security... naturally, the queue there is dreary, and everything is moving very slowly. But what a nice guy in the Skytime lounge - 5 minutes before closing, he invited me to come in for coffee! And even the passenger's card was not particularly eager to check, she could have gotten hold of coffee anyway. And the lounge is up to 23, I thought it was up to 22, and I didn't go there before))) It is also very funny to announce in Russian: "FROM NOW on we invite passengers with children."..
It is a very convenient airport for both departure and arrival. It is quite large in size, but the navigation signs allow you to easily get to the registration and passport control. There is a good selection of goods in duty-free and there are many other small shops.
It's a good airport. Not far from Brussels. For 9 euros, a train like our "Swallow" can be reached in 20 minutes. Tickets are sold at vending machines. You can figure it out. We first came across a buggy machine, and we were confused. We moved on to another one and everything worked out. You need to choose a class, the second one costs 9 euros, the first class you will ride for 18 euros, but if the train is the same, why pay more? :)
The signs will show the way, you don't know the letters, pictures will help you, everything is clear. Unlike Sheremetyevo, there is a place to sit while waiting for the flight, a lot of sofas and other seats. It is far from the comfort of Tallinn airport, but it is quite creditable. Our flight was delayed for several hours (Sheremetyevo did not accept it), we settled down with all the amenities, bought food and had a great time!
The staff is calm (like "what are you so worried about, we'll do it now"). No one is in a hurry, as it should be in Europe.
We saw a couple of serious guys with machine guns. Safety, however.
It costs 10 euros to pack a suitcase in a film.
It is sparsely populated, but everything that a traveler needs is available. It's even surprising that such a powerful infrastructure was organized for such low traffic
Comfortable waiting rooms, a large selection of chocolates in duty-free, some chocolates are cheaper than in Brussels. There are cheeses, beer. But it's better to buy magnets in the city: it's cheaper and there's more choice.
A good convenient airport, there is confusion at the exit if you want to go not by an official taxi, but by Uber. Uber does not drive up to the airport doors, only to a certain place in the parking lot, since officially a taxi is not considered. Here you will have to walk a little bit. As it is, everything is fine.
Small, cramped. Fast Line does not work for Aeroflot. They don't respect me. Disembarkation of passengers 500m from the building, then on foot. Huge traffic jams at security and passport control. Probably the most expensive Duty Free Shop in Europe. Everything is closed in the evening.
Not an airport, but a homeless place where even a suitcase cannot be packed in film. One packaging machine and that one is broken... And the terminal does not work in the only cafe...
There are places for smoking, however, we need to look for them. Very long transitions in terminals. By midnight, almost all shops and eateries are closed.
The problem is that it's not Sheremetyevo at night, practically nothing works at the airport in the clean zone. Except for duty free . Don't order those fries after 9 p.m. either
