A very small airport. I'd say it's tiny. But, this has its advantage - you will not get lost and will not get lost. There is only a tiny Duty Free in the "clean" zone. The cafes are all outside the departure area. But, since the airport is small and it does not make sense to arrive very early, there is no need for a cafe in the departure area. You just won't have time to use it. In general, the control of the border guards is very serious. They take away everything that seems suspicious to them. Even a 75 ml hand cream was forced to put not just in a bag, but a package with a lock bought for 1 euro! Otherwise, they won't let you on the plane. And it doesn't matter that you take out this tube after passing the border guards and open it, the main thing is to pack the cream and perfume bottle with a bag with a lock. Just tie the bag no-no. Only with a lock. And they also say that we have stupid rules.
From Baden-Baden to Karlsruhe airport in the area of 40 km. you can get there by two buses, I managed it in 1 hour and 20 minutes, there is a bus to the airport every hour, a taxi can be ordered on average about 30 euros, there is also a free shuttle also runs once an hour, takes passengers to the railway station, but unfortunately I found out about it later, study it in advance. The airport is small, I flew with Pobeda airline, I checked in online on the official website of Pobeda for a day without any problems, I had luggage, so I had to stand in line for registration, I wanted to check the weight, but the employee sent me to the queue, although the scales were free, keep this in mind for the future it is better to check the weight in advance, WI-FI in The airport is free for 30 minutes, after passing customs, swabs were taken from hands and clothes (for the presence of explosives and narcotic substances). Boarding the plane was within walking distance, around 100 m. the plane was within sight. The flight was clearly on schedule.
