    Originally from Adelaide we used to love Adelaide Airport. Spacious, easy and quick get through etc. But not today. It started with rude ground crew and then security. Thinking that we could grab a bit of dinner before getting on the flight at 9.40pm, we arrived earlier and walked in at 7.30pm. To our shock, everything, restaurants, book stores, convenience stores, like everything, was closed. The only establishment open was the Cooper Ale Bar. So we thought we might as well try that. Low and behold, the bar staff told us that the kitchen closes in 2 minutes. At 745pm!!!! I also found out that the bar closes at 8.00pm. There were quite a few other passengers who got caught out and weren't as lucky as us. It was either Subways outside or one of the few vending machines. What an absolute f$%&ing joke. Adelaide true to its reputation.

    I like this airport, it's very easy to negotiate & there's a good hotel right on the doorstep. Have never had any problems going through security, all very relaxed & fast moving. There's a good Qantas Lounge & plenty of other good affordable cafes.

    Adelaide International Airport is a fantastic travel hub. It offers a wide variety of dining options, from quick bites to coffee and even alcoholic beverages. The presence of a juice bar is a refreshing touch. Additionally, the airport provides a prayer room, ensuring that travelers of all backgrounds have their needs met. I appreciate the short queues at the restaurants, making it easy to grab a meal before your flight. However, it's important to note that there's a curfew in place, with no landing or takeoff between 11 pm and 6 am. This can be a consideration for late-night travelers. Overall, a pleasant airport experience.

    One of the best airports in my opinion. You don't need to pay for trolley. Clean, nice and tidy airport. Never too busy. Both long term and short term parking facilities. Parking fee reasonable. It has baby change rooms, enough toilets, sufficient sitting arrangements. There rental car booths. The security of international flights is probably too strict. It has newly constructed Atura hotel just adjacent.

    The airport, the flight and the sky were quite enjoyable every time we went, except the nostalgia.🫠🫠🫠 Update: I updated from 4 stars to 5 stars for Adelaide Airport because of their great customer service. We lost a suitcase and reported it to the airport service centre. They contacted the passenger who had the wrong suitcase and delivered it to us one day later. It meant a lot because that suitcase contained meaningful gifts from my loved ones. Much appreciated!

    Normally Adelaide airport is great. Since the last time I came over a year ago they have improved so much, adding heaps of shops and renovating the whole place. Bit disapointed in the international customs bit as it opened at 5 am instead of 3 so made us wait an extra hour but it was all good at the end.

    We have a great airport, never crazy like the eastern states but still be careful of red eye Monday flights, line up fpr scanning can be quite big! Still developing new outlets but its getting better and now the hotel is there its very handy

    Great airport, the terminal is undergoing renovations at the international departures and should have a lot more stores than now. Currently just a couple. Pretty clean. Lot of seating area, should have included power points or charging stations

    Not too busy. I went there early morning at 5am to get an interstate flight. It wasn’t busy at all probably could be it was early morning. Helpful staff at check-ins. The food shops were closed except for one. This is the only negative comment I’ve got. Food is priced as normal as what you get outside. A coffee for $5. There was ample enough parking too.

    Close to the city and staff are very friendly. Plenty of choices for food and shopping. Just be aware that the international and domestic departures share same place, so could take longer to get in.

    Well maintained, Pollite staff including the customs officers. If one wants to purchase sim card then it should be done before the immigration area. It's not available after that.

    Adelaide airport after renovation is really one of nicest and functional airports in this country. Very efficient and not overcrowded gets you everywhere fast. The only improvement is the international section being so far away from main entrance and the fact that you need to go through security second time over there which is pointless doing it twice. Otherwise seems like a good balance of places to eat or grab a coffee

    Adelaide Airport is a well-maintained and modern airport that offers a convenient and pleasant experience for travellers. The airport is easy to navigate, with clear signage and plenty of helpful staff on hand to assist with any queries. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, with a good selection of shops and restaurants to choose from. The security process is efficient, and the wait times are minimal. The airport also offers a range of transport options, including taxis, buses, and car rental, making it easy to get to and from the airport. Overall, Adelaide Airport is a great airport and I highly recommend it.

    Nice small and peaceful airport. Quick and efficient staff to manage the large passengers crowds effectively. International immigration gates are bit hidden and not properly marked though.

    Adelaide airport is simple, clean, modern and just what you’d expect from a city such as Adelaide. Simple to get into the car park and out. The rental car pick up and returns are just outside the terminal makes it very easy.

  • 4/5 Natalie D. 8 months ago on Google
    Well done Adelaide, was pretty easy to bring family in and back out, seeing family off for their flight.

  • 5/5 Tom K. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice airport and it was great to have the Rex Lounge open to enjoy with our Priority Pass.

  • 4/5 Justin β€œJube” B. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice, piano in the middle of domestic added a level of culture to the design. Spacious and clean. Staff were wearing bunny ears on Easter weekend, Melbourne airport staff were not.

    OMG it was so beautiful with all their Xmas displays and decorations.I took photos to show my grandchildren but after 2 of my daughter's plane took off I was in no hurry to leave I walked around looking at the many beautiful Xmas displays they had taking many photos

  • 5/5 Michael Kubler (. 2 years ago on Google
    The International section now needs you to go down the stairs. There's no Hungry Jacks there anymore, but there's a JBHiFi. Overall it's a nice airport and has free WiFi that's easy to access.

  • 4/5 Johnny L. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a breeze to take night flights through ADL but it can be quite chaotic in a middle of a school holiday. Allow extra time during holiday seasons as the check-in desk are limited and security screening line is not as well as managed as the one in SYD T2 or T3.

  • 1/5 Kira F. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything's closed, I managed to get a dinner of some cheese and crackers and I can't even find a vending machine now. Pro tip: if you are getting here "late" (around 6:30), get a Subway and then take it through security. Good luck!

  • 4/5 Janet’s J. 1 year ago on Google
    Has finally had the upgrade it’s much needed. It’s nicely kept clean during busy times. Several eateries and shops to kill some time if need. Multilevel long stay carpark is convenient and easy to organise.

  • 5/5 Ben B. 1 year ago on Google
    Same as most airports in Australia - clean toilets, decent wifi, a variety of food and drink options for early morning travellers, although I didn't see anyone serving fresh bacon and egg rolls. I couldn't find a spot to charge smart devices at the Domestic Boarding Gates. However there was a Business Area, which I briefly walked passed and can only assume that's where you'd find some power points. There's a convenient pick up/drop off zone which turns into long queues very fast. In general, staff are helpful for answering questions. Rideshare pick-up has their own little area next to Hertz which is quite nice, but easy to miss as there's a lack of clear signage. There's also the Atura Hotel, which I've heard is fairly newly constructed. I haven't been, but I can imagine it would be quite nice and of course, it's conveniently placed. As this is a nice connection hub I'd say it's quite a boring place to wait for your next flight. Especially if you're too early or your flight got delayed, like mine.

    Good layout of services, from the carpark to the Terminal. Easy parking, Accessible elevators, stairs, escalators. Security personnel are friendly and efficient, very accomodating when needed. Willing to assist when needed. Once past the security check, you enter the wonderland that is a large shopping precinct. Nicely laid out, a variety of retail outlets, from apparel to food to pharmacy, all top notch, quality products well presented. Currently under renovations with the addition of a few new retailers moving in. All in all, a very nice airport.

    Edmond in Malaysia Airline checkin counter was very polite and efficient, really nice cafes at this airport which is close to city too. 10 mins Uber ride 15 AUD only this Sunday morning.

    Redeveloped and a nice new international area was built. Lots of sitting areas with comfortable sofas. There are cafeteria, fast food restaurant, bar and duty free shop available.

  • 5/5 Patrick B. 1 year ago on Google
    Brilliant airport, plenty of seating, good staff. Easy access for whatever you want. Good choice of food and shops

  • 5/5 Eva from Chilled Mochi S. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best airports, small, clean, airy, full of light, good collection of shops and food. (Unlike the Melbourne airport that feel like it's a miserable, messy 90 years old basement)

  • 5/5 Alyssa 10 months ago on Google
    One of the best interstate/domestic airports for me! I love the airport design and the ambiance. However, My flight got delayed 3x 😫 Qantas flight going back to Syd. Im not sure if it usually happens here it was my first time in SA. Anyway, I love that they have maccas and boost also some other restos to choose from. It would be perfect if they will also add some cocktail choicesss like what’s in Brissie. But overall, really nice airport! 😍

  • 3/5 Avril A. 1 year ago on Google
    The domestic terminals have more interesting and varied eateries than the international terminal. Not an exciting airport to explore, but sufficient for travellers with basic needs. Don't expect anything breathtaking for either locals or foreigners to enjoy.

  • 4/5 Monica C. 10 months ago on Google
    A nice and petite airport, clean and friendly, with architectural features. I found it particularly helpful to have travelex ATM placed at luggage area - something to do before your big luggage appearing on the belt. I would say the signs are insufficient for bus at stop 10. The design is questionable too, you would need to haul the luggage across a square without knowing if one is on the right track. Too far also, most airports would have the bus stop near the door. That said, the bus stop names are very logical, easy for new comers, low fare.too.

  • 3/5 Tinto R. 2 years ago on Google
    Basic airport - clean toilets, decent wifi, but beware the food shops close early i think as i was there at 8.30pm, and nothing was open. No more fast food options, just cafe and coopers bar place with pricier options. At most airports you can always find a spot to charge devices but i couldn't find one here. Even at the boarding area, there was a "business area" with chairs and desk but power points did not work. You can drive to pick up/drop off, but cannot stand in line as you will be told to move from the area. There's now option to book online parking for $5 p/hour which seems reasonable. Luckily i have never had to transit here as it would be a very boring place to wait for your next flight. Not much to see or do.

  • 4/5 Noorzidah M N. 10 months ago on Google
    Not a very big airport but clean and easy to find counter at departure hall. Restaurants are mostly found inside the departure area. After going through the 1st checkpoint, we have to turn left and go down the escalator for another check point and go up another escalator to the gate. For the arrival hall, after passport clearance and upon taking your luggage, we will have to go through a check. If you declare whatever you have brought in your luggage, it's better and easier for the officer to point you to the right counter or exit point. All officers there are nice and friendly.

    I've never been to Adelaide airport, but I was impressed to see during the busy time the cleanness and tidiness of the airport. The staff was friendly, heaps of shops and eateries to spend time at the airport. No doubt, Adelaide airport management has covered all aspects to make travelers' experiences memorable.
