She gives it some going over!
Had you a particular point to make about the airport?Hi guys,
Has anybody come across a blog giving out stink about the airport? I'd love to see it!
What's wrong with an airport that creates hardly any noise?
How does it do that? What do you mean?
I use Knock Airport all the time. I have absolutely no problem paying the deelopment fee - delighted I can fly to UK and the continent with out having to face Dublin Airport. Service is excellent so big deal we have to queue to pay fee. Better than getting on a shuttle bus from the car park - nearly takes as long for the shuttle bus to get from teh carpark in Dujblin to the terminal as it is for me to get from Ballina to Knock Airport.
Another reason for the development fee is a commitment to keep the car park fees down. One way to avoid a long queue is to pay the fee as soon as you have checked in and then you can sail thru customs without the possibility of missing your flight.
"to keep car park fees down" ?????
Pity the airport was not built where there was already a town - hell where there was already an airport so it would have made more sense - Sligo or Castlebar.
N.B. Waiting in the uncomfortable filthy airport room for hours for the fog to rise, I was tempted to go out and ask the girl I gave 20 euro cash development fund fee to ....where did all this money they collected over the years go to - why was the airport not developed since I previously passed through the doors years previously ?
I agree with the other posters how Dublin airport , parking there etc is a nightmare experience.
Most people I know from Sligo, Leitrim etc, find its far better value and a more comfortable experience to fly through Belfast Int. airport near Lough Neagh.
I know that, but compared to most airports the land around Knock airport ( poor quality land on top of a mountain ) is not much use for anything else. 25 euro is not what people in the remotest western counties are used to paying for parking for a few days. 'Tis not Grafton St.Comparable to other Irish airports Knock car parking is ok.
All airports are subject to fog delays, so Knock is no exception to that
If you don't like Knock airport, then just don't use it. Problem solved !

I had to park for a few days recently at Knock, I forget exactly how much it was, I remember being shocked at the price - to park in a foggy bog on top of a mountain - I think it was something like 25 euro for about 55 hours parking.
The most annoying thing though in the weekend away was caused by the location of the airport. Knock is regularly fog bound and our flight was delayed by a few hours as a result, which affected our short weekend away dramatically. Everyone who drove to the airport from all directions that morning had no fog until the last bit of the drive up the mountain to the airport at Knock.
Pity the airport was not built where there was already a town - hell where there was already an airport so it would have made more sense - Sligo or Castlebar. Then again, in the era of the 80's , when strokes ruled the land, when did value for taxpayers make sense.
