Hi Everyone 

I have got to pick someone up from Almeria Airport. I have never been to this particular airport and wondered if someone can give me some information regarding collecting people. I will need to go in my camper van which is 2.75 meters in height. Is there any height restrictions when collecting passengers, and is it easy to find the arrivals part of the airport. Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Many Thanks.

Almería airport is quite small and well laid out.  Arrivals is at the extreme end of the airport, to the left, as you go in any of the entrances.  Parking is covered, carport style, but I think there is some open parking.......

What sort of detail do you need?

The layout of the airport, parking etc is almost identical to Corvera Airport at Murcia; as you drive in, take the left hand lane to go into the parking area.  There is plenty of parking always available.  Once you’ve parked up, just walk straight across the road and go in any of the doors.  Head left and keep walking to the end of the terminal.  You’ll see an arrivals board and then the arrivals doors through which people come are on your right.  There is a waiting area there, a small Costa Coffee and other cafes etc you can wait if you’ve arrived very early.

Parking is laughably cheap - I can’t recall specifics, but I recall 30 or so minutes cost me about 70 centimos.  There is only ever one parking ticket payment booth that I could find working, and it is the one virtually opposite arrivals; HOWEVER, if you download the AENA app, you can pay your ticket by credit card via the app and avoid waiting around.  You also get around 10% discount if you pay via the app.  Works well, I’ve used it for payment at both Almería and Corvera airports, and like I say, if you’ve been to one of those two airports, you’ll see the other is almost identical in layout of terminal, parking etc etc

Way different to (and MUCH smaller than) Alicante.  Pretty well laid out and easy to find your way to, around and out of :-D
