Tiny for an International Airport. Very speedy screening. Relax at one of the airport lounges or cafes and bars.

Food options are limited and rather pricey. The bar is my favorite - good selection of beers but the range of food is pretty meh...

If you’re flying with @VirginAustralia, never join the bag drop queue at this airport. Just join the check-in queue (even if you’ve checked in online) as it always moves faster than bag drop queue.

For a Capital city airport this is sooo quiet and stress free. So although it's a pain not to have international flights it's nice to be so peaceful .

Well it's easy to get in and out of, so that's a distinct up-side.

Avoid flying Virgin, unnecessarily rude staff, high risk of flight delay or cancellation. Qantas the only option for Australian domestic flights.

Kerbside Pick Up is not available at this airport. Use the green or red carpark pick up zones with 10 minutes free. Picking up on the single carriageway road just annoys other road users, don't do it!

You can watch bags moving through the belt system in the central atrium, just look for the glass sections of floor.

Colours explained: Red is for departures (upper level), yellow is for arrivals (lower level) and blue is just a random colour seemingly used at either end of the terminal near Gates 3 and 14.

Until the airline's collapse in 2013, the airport was the main base for Brindabella Airlines.

While this airport is a MASSIVE improvement on what is was, the best part about it is still that it's the gateway out of Canberra... Sorry Capital Territoreans...

Eat before you check in. Very few choices for food and they aren't great.

There is no free wi-fi unless you are in an exclusive airport lounge. This is an outdated attitude for airline customers.

A newly renovated airport with potential. It may be small in terms of coffee shops and stores but it's big in scenery around the area. Take a moment to enjoy the view

If you just got off the plane in Canberra, and are lucky to only be transitting, the Virgin Lounge is to the right.
