Nice Airport Anmeldelser 

Dès l’instant où un voyageur pose le pied à l’aéroport de Nice, la première impression frappe comme une gifle du passé : un aéroport figé dans une autre époque, à des années-lumière des standards internationaux actuels. Imaginez un touriste arrivant de Singapour, de Doha ou d'Amsterdam : il quitte des hubs ultra-modernes, fluides, lumineux, organisés comme des horloges suisses… pour atterrir dans ce qui ressemble à un centre commercial des années 80 mal rénové.

Dès l’arrivée, le ton est donné : signalétique confuse, espaces étriqués, mobilier fatigué, et une impression générale d’improvisation permanente. L’accueil ? Inexistant ou désabusé. Aucune chaleur, aucun sourire : juste un air las, parfois condescendant, comme si on dérangeait. C’est simple : on a l’impression d’arriver non pas sur la Côte d’Azur, mais dans un décor de film provincial un peu déprimant.

Et que dire des infrastructures ? Un terminal principal qui donne l’impression d’avoir été pensé à l’époque du Minitel, avec des zones d’embarquement sous-dimensionnées, des toilettes souvent vieillottes et des services au compte-gouttes. Le contraste avec des aéroports comme Munich ou Istanbul est abyssal : là-bas, tout est fluide, pensé pour le confort du voyageur.

Bref, si les aéroports sont la vitrine d’un pays, celui de Nice ressemble à une devanture défraîchie, où l’on aurait oublié d’enlever les décorations de Noël depuis trois ans. Un lieu qui donne envie de fuir la ville plutôt que de la découvrir.

Diabolical airport - avoid if you can!! What rubbish service!!! Checked in online and had boarding pass - arrived at bag drop and was told they wouldn’t accept bag until 2hrs15 before flight!!! What is the point of checking in? Left standing until they opened up exactly 2hr15 before flight. No chairs available until you’d gone through , when they allow you through it then takes so long to get to gate where there are chairs - it was time to board!!! Rude staff seemed to take pleasure in keeping everyone waiting. Avoid at all costs. Do British Airways know how their passengers are being treated?!!!

I recently traveled and faced significant challenges due to inadequate accessibility support at Nice Airport. While waiting with my family in the priority lane of EasyJet, we encountered a lady in a wheelchair who was struggling to get assistance. Unfortunately, a family without visible disabilities was placed between her and her husband at the check-in, and it was clear that the priority lane was largely ignored.

After that, as we were at the security, someone cut in front of me with her boxes, separating me from my family. Thankfully, a security agent noticed and allowed me to pass. I had to point out my disability and explain that I couldn’t manage the boxes on my own, and the agent helped me with that.

Once we located our gate, we found it had changed, requiring us to walk to the other side of the terminal, which was quite challenging for me. The disabled bathroom facilities were also concerning, lacking a seat cover and an emergency call button, which made me feel insecure.

I was hoping for priority boarding once at our gate, as announced on the speaker, but that assistance was not provided. Overall, my travel experience was far from satisfactory, and I hope there will be improvements made for better support for disabled passengers in the future.

Disappointing Experience at Nice Airport - France, T2, 20.04.2025.

As someone who has been traveling for years, I’ve never had such an uncomfortable experience as I did today with a woman from the security check. When I passed through the scanner, it started buzzing. That’s when I saw a strange sparkle in her eyes, like she had finally found an excuse to show her authority.
She told me to go back and forth through the metal detector multiple times, but it kept buzzing. I told her (in English) that I don't speak or understand French, and she replied (in English!) that she doesn't speak English either.
I tried explaining that the buzzing might be caused by my bra, but she insisted again, more walking through, turning around, and even patting me down.
I told her I understood she was doing her job, but I was exhausted as it was 4 AM, and couldn’t understand her instructions, especially since she was visibly annoyed that I wasn't reacting quickly enough. At one point, I even said, “If you want, I can just take off my bra and show you,” because it seriously felt like I was the only woman wearing one, based on how I was being treated.

This whole circus lasted long enough to draw the attention of other travelers and leaving my 10-year-old son to gather my belongings and documents from the trays, after passing through security.

This experience left me feeling humiliated and singled out. Security is important, of course, but so is treating passengers with basic respect and empathy.

It seems quite surprising that at Nice Airport, some staff members are unable to communicate essential job-related instructions in English, especially given the international context.

Tôt le matin du 28 mars, après avoir passé le contrôle de sécurité et pris mes affaires, un objet personnel a disparu !
J'en ai informé un employé qui n'a pas été d'une grande aide et finalement m’a indiqué un superviseur, qui n'a pas aider non plus! J'ai fini par déposer une réclamation en ligne auprès de Troov et je n'ai toujours pas eu de réponse alors qu'ils prétendent répondre dans les 48 heures. Il est assez alarmant qu'une telle chose puisse se produire et que, lorsque cela se produit, les personnes en charge soient tout simplement inutiles et même impolies. Une bien mauvaise expérience à Nice Côté d Azur aéroport!

Wow... First time in my life I was forced wait my flight in Nice airport in the night. Terminal 1...Salon of expectation is full of homeless people - bad smell, dirty clothes, loud scream or loud cough (I hope not with tuberculosis and rest dangerous infections), these people bring their big bags with dirty clothes and wheelbarrows with garbage full of infections. All chairs are occupated by this intelligence. Normal people sit on the floor, walking as zombies because not possible to be between such bad smelling dangerous mass. Where is police? Why these people don't stay
in churches or special places? From what times airports became night houses for such marginal? Normal people stopped to have respect in society?

Le point noir de cet aéroport est le contrôle de sécurité. Le choix du partenaire et des employés devrait être orienté politesse et clients. Nous ne sommes pas des condamnés controlés avant d’aller en cellule mais des personnes voyageant. Il n’y a aucune raison d’aboyer des consignes et de stresser les gens. Le pire revient à deux employées de moins de 30 ans qui se montrent facilement agressives et grossières. C’est scandaleux. Elles ne sont absolument pas faites pour être mises face au public. Elles abusent d’une situation pensant avoir un certain pouvoir. C’est extrêmement choquant. Il y a une responsabilité éthique dans le choix du personnel.

A bit crazy... needs to be checked!
Many things are different and I got lucky and cancelled the trip.

No toilet seats in female toilets at arrival of Nice airport. 😱😱😱 How do we pee & poo in France???? Worst than any third world airports of Africa & Asia. 😱😱😱

I fly though here all the time. It’s horrible. The hours for restaurants, the lounges and quality, everything, it’s horrific.

C'est très décevant. Nous avons passé l'endroit pour les passeports, mais le lounge était fermé. En demandant à l'équipage, on nous a répondu que nous ne pouvions plus sortir et qu'il était indiqué partout que l'on ne pouvait pas sortir une fois entré. Il semble que nous n'ayons pas la même interprétation du mot "partout".

Racism at it's finest experienced by a family member at this so called airport by securty ..disgusting behaviour

Do not park your car at the airport!!!! THEY ARE THIEVES! We made a reservation with the Aeroport Nice Cote D'Azur, and the night before we were to fly out, there was a major storm in the South of France. It completely knocked out our power and in the morning we found we could not open our garage to drive to the airport. We had to call for an Uber to take us to the airport, and on the way to there, I contacted the Airport Customer Service and informed them of the emergency with our cars, and asked them to cancel our reservation. They canceled my reservation and refused to refund my money. Now I will stick to using a private car service to take my family to the airport to avoid using this disgusting, heartless company who takes advantage of people during emergencies. Also, the parking is SO EXPENSIVE here, through this experience I have learned it's actually cheaper to take a private car to and from the airport.

I was left stranded at the airport with no customer service to help me. The ground staff were insolent and literally kept me off my flight out of some sense of altruism. When they left me all alone (I am 76) they walked away gloating over their "victory" over a bad traveller. I had to pay 650 euros with a 4 am check in to get back to Belgrade. It was the most humiliating experience of my life. And there was a recording that played constantly exhorting people to be nice to the ground staff!!! It was the other way around, they were absolutely awful.

No common sense at this airport…
Mega rude & unhappy staff at the boarding gates. Absolutely has no idea how to take care of simple thing like to change the ticket or where to find customer service phone number… need to google 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
My flight badly delayed today ( easyjet at 16.40) and other flight( 17.30), what supposed to leave after our flight, was leaving 2 hours earlier. I asked to change my ticket to the first flight and They had no idea how to do this🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
And this is customer service…
Please France, educate your people, give them training at the jobs they apply for.
Funny thing is, that living here for longer and getting in situations like this, makes me feel sorry for them, because behind this big arrogance & rudeness, it’s clearly zero education & culture.

If the workers hate their jobs so much they should get a new one. HORRIBLE SERVICE twice being on this trip at this airport. Horrible systems in place. AVOID FLYING THROUGH HERE!!

Huge queues, poor facilities (everything closes early). Bad air con, grubby toilets.
Over priced everything.
The best part is when the plane takes off.

Sans doute l un des pires aéroports européens. À la réputation totalement surfaite : déjà le tramway bondé car bien que saison estivale oblige, la cadence des rotations est très diminuée (jour férié..!), ensuite la météo (prévue pour être catastrophique, elle fut en réalité assez normale malgré un orage matinal ; quoi de plus normal 1 15 août !) donc désorganisation totale avec des retards sur la journée oscillants entre 60 et 180 minutes !! Certains ne sont jamais partis... À l aérogare, exiguë, surchargée de passagers errant d un bord a autre (on est au T2 le plus moderne)... Le personnel au contrôle des bagages à main est incompétent, malpoli et on se retient de ne pas en passer un dans le scanner, les salles d embarquement étroites et peu confortables sont surchargées.. Le clou revient au B étage rdc (hors Schengen)... Chez Jamie's prendre un verre / sandwiche ou un café est une sinécure (on fait le ménage des tables et sièges soi même) Au passage de la Paf, les machines automatiques (parafe) sont en panne.. Niveau embarquement, ça se corse car on fait monter la moitié des passagers dans un bus sans clim avant de les faire redescendre vingt minutes plus tard (départ reporté ?!?) et c est reparti pour une nouvelle attente sans fin et pendant ce temps, le maire de la ville commente la situation sur Twitter en jouant les commissaires de piste (la foudre a touché une piste dixit).. Ce n est pas un rêve on languit de quitter Nice et de ne pas y retourner de sitôt 🤪

No aircondition and bad signs to where the gates are. You are driven in hot hot hot buses to the planes

What can I say I think the French have lost the plot I will never come back to this airport again , it’s seems like they won’t to make life difficult for tourists
