The UK’s ‘quietest airport’ with stress-free travel and hardly any queues
Share:
Airports are associated with chaos — frantic security queues, long queues and mind-numbing delays. However, one UK airport is setting itself apart, so much so that travellers have declared it ‘stress-free’. Cardiff Airport is quickly developing a reputation as a ‘simple’ and ‘convenient’ departure point for mile-high journeys. Covering approximately 1,280 acres, the airport has a single terminal that handles domestic and international flights.

Although it’s the largest airport in Wales, it’s still smaller than many of the UK’s major airports in terms of size and passenger volume — meaning passengers can avoid the typical stress of flying from a busier airport. One passenger took to TikTok to document her journey from the airport. The user, @tc_gem, wrote: ‘Pov… Cardiff is still the quietest airport I have ever flown from.’.

Another TikTok user, @teedaphn, wrote: ‘Pov, you go to Cardiff airport to avoid all the queues.’. She revealed a queue-free security line and added: ‘We literally got through so fast.’.
Reviews on Trust Pilot are similar, too. One user wrote: ‘First time flying from Cardiff as it’s normally cheaper for us to fly from Bristol or Birmingham but will consider paying slightly extra to fly from Cardiff for future holidays. We literally got through so quick #fyp.
