We were there in the winter of 2014. We arrived with a child of 6 years old. Everything went great and quickly. On departure, they asked for a long time what kind of cans were in the suitcase - juice, jam ...? I answered in the affirmative - nothing. I completely forgot that there were two cans of coffee in the suitcase. They sent me for an autopsy. There were a lot of people like me there. She stubbornly asked that our suitcase be examined as soon as possible, because the child already wants to go to the toilet, and sit, and so on. But this is only my mistake, because there is nothing to forget that I put it in the suitcase.

A very small, unfinished airport, to put it mildly, is not at its height. But the employees do their job perfectly, helping those who are in a hurry as much as possible. Although it is a very long check, as is customary in Israel, it is quite understandable and understandable. There are very cute carpets inside. It's impossible to get lost, if anything. Many people panicked that they would miss their flight, but this is not possible at this airport. Bad toilets.

A small airport converted from a military one. There are two cafes. A tiny duty-free. Before checking in for the flight, a survey and an impressive inspection of personal belongings. Many suitcases are sent for autopsy for a more thorough examination. The fins in our suitcase aroused suspicion. But here you can freely carry water, so do not rush to throw it away.

Due to the modest capabilities of the airport, we got into a very long, almost Soviet queue. The airport was physically unable to digest the large number of arrivals and departures. But we must pay tribute to the employees, despite the emergency, they worked smoothly, quickly, clearly without unnecessary delays and tried their best to resolve the situation. Great fellows!

The disgusting airport passed through it when returning from vacation. The inspection of things lasted 3 hours. I got on the plane 5 minutes before departure. What they were looking for is not clear, but these grueling 3 hours completely exhausted the mood from the vacation. Guys, if you suddenly have a flight from this airport in your tour package, I recommend that you refrain from such a trip. Trust my experience.

The requirements of civilian airports are not applicable to military ones. Strict control, total inspection. Both on arrival and on departure. They checked the documents, clarified about the different surnames of me and my companion. We looked at the luggage. Everything is polite, without arrogance, you can understand, arriving in Israel, do not forget the state lives in a semi-military situation! No complaints , except that I don't like to talk about the amount of cash in my pockets. They look at the phones and often send them for Personal inspection. Don't worry, everything is correct. For the volume of souvenirs and gifts, no problem. They are looking for dangerous substances! Long. Of the real disadvantages, there are very few shops in the departure area, but this is understandable - a military field airport.

It's very cold because of the air conditioners. Who writes about total inspection - guys, this is the norm for Israel, it's the same in Ben Gurion, but everything is polite, fast and neat

A disgustingly long search! We shook all the things by hand, after inspection with a telescope. Plus, we were interrogated at the entrance, as if we were terrorists. Complete disorganization, huge queues. Never fly through this airport!!

It's a terrible airport, it's better not to get there, Jews think that everyone goes to work for them under any pretext, even Russians, although their business, thank God we have nothing to do there.

Disgusting field airport. They will shake all your things out of the suitcase and interrogate who used it when you bought it and handed over the suitcase for repair. And other matters.

It's a terrible airport. One entrance, one exit. It is not intended for passenger flights. This is a military airport, people wait in line for 8 hours at passport control

There's nothing wrong with security here, they can arrange an interrogation with partiality and shake up all your clothes!
