There is no free wifi at this airport. It says there is some kiosk to switch it on. For me it means there is no free wifi at all. Bear it in mind when you plan to travel.

Recommendation: despite minor shortcomings, Dalaman Airport is an excellent choice for traveling to the southern part of Turkey. All the necessary services are available, and the convenient location makes it especially attractive for tourists.
The airport is ok, quiet, depending on the passenger load. We visited the DLM lounge business lounge, and I really liked it first of all for:
1) a calm atmosphere. The business lounge itself is bright.
2) CLEANLINESS. The dishes are all clean, everything is laid out neatly, the staff is friendly.
3) A CHILDREN'S AREA. Straight top. There are even slides, the child could be entertained.
4) THE FOOD is passable. Really ok. And coffee too.
5) THE SMOKING AREA is beautiful, even though I don't smoke.
Alcohol is given on vouchers, you can take beer or wine, the rest is for an additional fee.payment.
Upon arrival, you can take cool photos at the airport itself, as if you were on a paragliding trip.
The airport itself is large, and prices, as at all airports, are high for food. If we compare them with Moscow airports, then they are straight from the Middle Kingdom. Duty-free is not very interesting. But last year we were in the business lounge. The business lounge is normal, its most important advantage is access to the terrace for fresh air! From the food: cheeses, sausage cuts, sausages are not very tasty, unfortunately there were no cheesecakes or eggs in any form. Delicious berry drinks in small bottles, the wine is normal, the coffee is average. We waited a long time for the barista to pour the wine. At first we came and there was no one from the staff. There is a children's room with a slide and a rocking horse. Comfortable armchairs and sofas. There were only a few families. No one bothered anyone. Everyone was sitting far from each other.
I really liked this airport in Turkey. Everything was wonderful! Nearby there is an exchange office, many places where you can eat, as well as car rental points. There is also a bus stop nearby.
I really liked the airport, it's clean, beautiful, there are cafes, places for smoking, the first time when we were in Dalaman it was more modest, now the scale is impressive, like Marmaris itself, we really like it there
A modern, clean, small airport, comfortable waiting areas, check-in is fast, there is a cafe, a good Duty-free store, a clean toilet, there are fixed-fare taxis and buses for travelers.
The airport is small compared to Antalya, but very cozy. There are no crowds, everything is somehow calm and measured. There are a lot of cafes, prices are quite affordable, unlike Antalya, there are a lot of sales in duty free.
The airport is quite small, very clear and convenient, especially the location 4 km from the center of Dalaman. Direct flights to St. Petersburg and Moscow Time.
Good parking.
There are no problems with the transfer, there are always taxi drivers (with the price list not out of my head, but indicated in the price list (installed at the exit from the airport), there are also always buses that leave as they fill up, which is also quite convenient.
The airport is generally quite good. The duty-free area is large enough, there is enough space to wait for departure at the terminal, and there are places where you can have a snack. Everything is quite expensive.
Of the cons, there is practically nothing before check-in.
Clean, few people. Duty free is available both at the entrance (upon departure) and at the exit (upon arrival). Compared to our airports, there is zero automation. There is no place to print the boarding pass, if the flight is online, there are no terminals. Luggage can also be checked in only in person - by queuing at the check-in counters. Everything is slow and easterly. Check-in desks open two hours before departure. Never before. But they can later. At the same time, for all complaints at check-in about the preponderance or dimensions of hand luggage, you can say "its okay?" with a questioning intonation. And the staff reluctantly agrees.: "okay..."
If you take your time, don't be nervous and accept the local flavor and psychology of the local staff, then both arrival and departure will take place without problems and with pleasure.
A fairly large international airport. I liked that the access roads are arranged in two levels - from the first level we left for Marmaris upon arrival, from the second - check-in and departure home, i.e. there are no crazy traffic jams and chaos. Inspection, checks, registration - everything is pretty fast, clear work. The staff is polite and ready to help. Everything is clean
A small airport. Everything is nearby, it's easy to figure out the signs. Free Wi-Fi in the airport building, you can get the code through the terminal using a foreign passport. It's better not to change the money here, dear course. But it is better to rent a car here, as it is cheaper and more convenient than on the street! There is a bus station near the airport with buses to all major cities, taxis and ATMs.
It's a nice little airport, I flew in and out of there while vacationing in Bodrum!
There is a business lounge, the food is good, I liked everything!
Large Dutch free zone
I bought perfumes for myself and my wife at a nice price!
Not a big airport, like everywhere there is Parking, there is a place to eat, the only disadvantage is the very slow staff at the check-in. And so everything is OK, clean, culturally and on vacation these disadvantages are not noticed)) if you fly with Aeroflot, you will be fully fed, if you fly with Turkish Airlines they will give you a sandwich))) it's better to fly for 5 hours by Aeroflot and they have such frequent cancellations and postponements of flights)
Everything is clean and beautiful.
Everyone is working on schedule.
The airport staff is pleasant and polite.
On the plane, passengers were offered tea, coffee and drinks.
Polite flight attendants .
The pilots know their job very well. The landing of the plane was very soft.Bravo to the pilots👏👏👏
It's a great airport. Small, but modern, functional. Lots of cafes, lots of seating. There is a large smoking area. Interesting, diverse duty-free shops. Even the staff are smiling. Compared to Antalya, it's just heaven and earth!
A small cozy airport between the mountains. A small arrival hall. They give out luggage very quickly. Clean and pleasant. During registration, they help you register online in the hall
An ordinary airport, moderately convenient, the departures were all on time. The staff was qualified, courteous, the bathrooms were clean, and the air conditioner was working properly. Only positive impressions
Dalaman Airport is quite a modern airport, which does not cause complaints. Spacious, bright and comfortable. The business lounge is quite comfortable. The work of the services, of course, has strained us. Check-in for the flight began almost an hour before departure. We were launched into the plane by dashes along the sleeve of 20 meters, eventually launching into the plane itself an hour later. Perhaps this was due to the preparation of a late plane, and perhaps also to the work of airport services. By the way, we did not receive a suitcase from Sochi (we were flying from Moscow with a transfer). We left a statement, we were informed about his arrival, and even delivered by courier to the hotel, although the flight was from Aeroflot, not Turkish Airlines. We were very grateful to Dalaman.
A fairly comfortable modern building. You can buy various souvenirs and have a snack at the cafe). There are always a few people. Convenient access to the parking lot.
The airport is quite fresh. There aren't a lot of people. The food court is stupid, if you're on a diet, there's practically nowhere to eat. Several dutiks, the assortment is acceptable. The smoking room is good
Dalaman Airport left a positive impression on me. It is quite modern and convenient, with good organization of work. The registration and control process took minimal time, which is very pleasant.
The airport infrastructure is well developed: there are many shops, cafes and restaurants where you can have a snack or buy souvenirs. The staff is polite and ready to help in any situation.
It is also worth noting the cleanliness and order in the waiting rooms. Overall, Dalaman Airport was a great start to my journey, and I will be happy to come back here again!
The airport is very comfortable and spacious. With clear navigation, there are many cafes, there is a McDonald's, duty free is also good, small, but there is something to choose from
A modern, spacious airport, everything is clear, many food outlets, payment in both national currency and dollars and euros, comfort, convenience in everything, excellent!!!
There is a large convenient airport, there are no queues, a lot of seats, there is free Wi-Fi for 30 minutes, restaurants are available, but not cheap. In the photo, a radio-controlled elevator, came to change a burned-out light bulb
In the terminal, in the winter season, the wing of the airport to the left of the entrance is being preserved, and therefore domestic and international departures are placed in one corridor, where it is important not to waste time standing in a long queue "at the wrong doors". The right extreme queue is for domestic flights in Turkey, the central and leftmost queues for international flights.
Paper tickets for domestic flights are not issued, they just say the number of the seat, which may not coincide with the place indicated during electronic check-in. I recommend making an electronic check-in for the flight 24-6 hours before departure.
Обычный турецкий аэропорт, не самый большой и просторный но и не вызывает приступов клаустрофобии. Если приехать заранее, есть где скоротать время. В город/из города каждые полчаса (уточняйте расписание) ходит автобус - я улетал в 6 утра, но все равно без проблем доехал. С фудкортами беда - мало и дорого.
An excellent airport, it seemed small at first, but in fact it is quite spacious, there are not many shops, but also not a few (it was important for us to buy souvenirs, there are both a couple of shops with them separately, and several racks in a duty-free shop, prices are normal), water costs 2 euros. It is easy to find a place at the airport - there are many signs with the necessary information (including in Russian).
It's a very good airport, clean, convenient, there are a lot of signs in Russian, which is very important, there is a choice of what to eat at the food court
It's the best airport I've ever seen.
1 . Cute
2 . Lots of space
3. Lots of toilets
4 . There are no queues
5. Lovely workers. Especially the people at customs. They are smiling and friendly ! 🔥🔥🔥
The airport is small, but very cozy. Navigation is clear, everything is clear at the registration, there are enough places. The only negative is that everything is expensive, even tea.
The airport left a mixed impression. On the one hand, there is a lot of free space, all the inspection points and customs are moving fast enough, there is a good selection of various goods in dutik. On the other hand, there is a modest choice of food - mainly fast food (KFS, BK and mac) at very high prices, for two to eat in fast food at least 20 euros, in other mini cafes prices are even higher (a bottle of beer from 8.5 euros!).
An excellent airport, everything you need is available, you can easily navigate and perform the necessary actions related to staying in the terminals of the airport terminal.
Fast service, the staff tries not to create queues and ensure a comfortable stay in the airport building. The choice in the duty-free shop is diverse, there are always promotions for a certain range of goods.
Well, first of all, the location of the port itself is very impressive. Landing approach along the gorge, the views are wonderful! The airport is convenient for passengers!
The small, comfortable airport is clean and well equipped. Everything is intuitive inside.
For the first time in my life, I took off over the sea – it was beautiful.
The staff is helpful and polite.
Prices in bars are cosmic, if the weather permits, it is better to warm up with beer in a cafe in front of the airport building. Passport control is very long, there is a huge queue all the time, even not in peak season.
Bombastic! Architectural! A stylish and air-filled airport.
It is better to get there by bus from Fethiye. If you arrive at the Dalaman train station, then you can only get to the airport by taxi..
It looks beautiful, but in fact it's kind of Stone Age... At the entrance, they check the printed (!) voucher, if you have an electronic one, then there may be problems with this. Then the registration, where very slow people work, we stood in line for about 40 minutes out of season, I'm afraid to imagine what happens there in August... Then they check hand luggage and passengers with a scanner or whatever it is))) after that, the manual (!) checking each (!) passenger, there is of course also a queue, As a result, it took about 1h30m from the airport entrance to the departure area, For comparison (although this is incomparable) in Sheremetyevo it took 15-20 minutes and nowhere (!) were they queuing for more than 2 minutes
It's a small, pleasant airport. The CIP lounge is not large, if two wide-body aircraft take off at once, then there will be no empty seats. Alcohol is provided on coupons (a glass of wine or a bottle of beer). There are no gadget chargers in the main hall. Wifi is free for the first 30 minutes, you need to get coupons for this.
A good airport, in the check-in area they let you smoke outside, in the departure area there is an excellent smoking area with trees and chairs, but the prices are of course wild. Recently, all waiting areas have been closed in the departure area and there is nowhere really to sit, except for a cafe and a smoking area. A nail file was taken away at the control, with bulging eyes, like it's forbidden. But last time they didn't notice the thermos with tea, in short, it depends on people, and in general it's OK. Recently, on departures, they didn't even bother to shove hand luggage into a measuring box, which reduced the boarding time by half!)
Nice, big, convenient airport. There is a place to relax while waiting for a flight. Everything is clear and thought out. Much better than 10 years ago.
We arrived/departed from this airport twice. I liked that there were no delays - we passed all the controls quickly, the queues for registration move quickly, the staff are friendly.
The flight to Moscow was delayed for an hour, but we were warned, there were seats in the waiting area, so this did not cause us much negativity.
There are many cafes in the departure area. I liked Duty free, a good selection of perfumes and cosmetics
