Der Flughafen Stuttgart ist nach Flugzahlen die #7 in Deutschland, aber im Vergleich zu Frankfurt oder München eben doch ein Zwerg. Man findet überwiegend europäische Flüge als Zubringer zu den großen Drehscheiben. Es ist alles sehr übersichtlich, die drei "Terminals" sind in einem Gebäude, ein bißchen Gastronomie und ein paar Geschäfte. Die wirken zum Teil deplatziert (Hundezubehör, echt??). Gemessen an der Größe von Stuttgart alles sehr provinziell. Immerhin nett und sauber. Angebote für Geschäftsreisende (z.B. ruhige Arbeitsplätze mit Strom) sucht man vergeblich.

Der Stuttgarter Flughafen beeindruckt durch seine ausgezeichnete Anbindung an die Autobahn, was sowohl für Anreisende als auch Abreisende äußerst praktisch ist. Das Innere des Flughafens strahlt Eleganz aus und bietet eine bequeme Erreichbarkeit der U- und S-Bahnstationen durch Rolltreppen von der unteren Etage aus. Trotz der derzeitigen Baustellen rund um den Flughafen bietet er eine beeindruckende Vielfalt an Fast-Food-Restaurants auf der obersten Etage sowie einen Aussichtspunkt mit Blick auf die Landebahn. Für Flugzeugliebhaber gibt es sogar einen speziellen Aussichtspunkt in Filderstadt/Bernhausen, der einen unmittelbaren Blick auf den Flughafen Stuttgart bietet. Die Parkmöglichkeiten für Kurz- und Langzeitaufenthalte sind außerhalb des Flughafens reichlich vorhanden. Insgesamt ist der Stuttgarter Flughafen ein mittelgroßer Flughafen, der seine Gäste mit einem kompakten und dennoch vielfältigen Angebot an Geschäften und Einrichtungen beeindruckt.

Ein angenehmer , übersichtlicher Flughafen wo man sich schnell und gut zurechtfindet . Es kann auch gut Gefrühstückt oder Reiseprofiant eingekauft werden . Das Personal an der Sicherheitskontrolle macht einen guten Job , aber immer freundlich und lustig . So soll es sein !!!

Nur selten konnte ich in 2023 am Stuttgarter Flughafen an einem der Finger aussteigen.
Doch das ist nicht das einzige Manko am Manfred Rommel Airport.
Am 5. Januar 24 gab es um 22.30 keinerlei Anlaufstelle mehr, einen beschädigten Koffer zu melden.
Ist der Kunde nicht mal König gewesen?

Thé airport is quite good in general. The only downsides of STR are that security always takes a bit from my experience, having flown out of here numerous times, and that most gates are bus gates as there are only eight boarding bridges that are usually occupied by the likes of Lufthansa, KLM, Swiss, Air France, Austrian of British Airways. Furthermore, the airport lacks a Lufthansa Lounge as of 2023 due to problems with fire safety. Apart from that, the airport is well-connected to Stuttgart city center by rail and road. The walking distances are always short, there is a nice selection of shops, cafés and restaurant both at land and airside as well as a huge visitors terrace which spans over three terminals that is free of charge.

A nice, small airport. There is a visitors terrace with a great view, and it is free! There are very limited dining options though and everything is overpriced (which is probably normal for an Airport).

The helpful airport staff enhances the experience at this gateway to Germany which could use a few minor improvements. Especially the orientation at the airport... connections to public transport and the possibility to rent a car are now standard, which is also maintained here.

Dieser Flughafen ist wohl die reinste Katastrophe. An der Anmeldung zum Terminal war eine Schlange zur Anmeldung nicht möglich, da mehrere Öffnungen vorgegeben waren.
Nach stundenlanger Wartezeit kamen die verschiedenen Mitarbeiter im 30 Minuten Takt. Die letzte Frau beschwerte sich über die mehreren Schlangen und schloss erstmal einige. Natürlich nicht fair, da die welche zuerst kamen plötzlich zum Schluss kommen sollten und somit sind wir trotzdem wieder vorne raus weil es keiner einsieht, wenn wir schon Stunden früher kommen plötzlich zum Schluss dranzukommen.

Außerdem ist an diesem Flughafen mein Koffer kaputt gegangen, in dem ein Fuß abgebrochen ist und bei meinem Freund ist direkt der gesamte Koffer aufgeplatzt. Das ist kein Wunder, da die Mitarbeiter schon vor einem absolut schlecht mit den Koffern umgehen sie rumwerfen, umschmeißen und treten.

Spent over an hour in line for security last time I was here, though I've also had some trips that were no wait times. I'd recommend to get here very early to make your flight, as it's hard to guess which day you're going to get. The airport is nice overall, clean bathrooms, friendly staff, just busy some days.

It’s small and the passport control could be larger, suspect it’s because of budget airline terminal? Unsure. The concrete structure is beautiful. It. It plastered or painted. Barefaced concrete throughout. Form flight to passport control was such a short walk. Didn’t feel like airport but some nice industrial building. Guess it serves the purpose. Only with the passport control was bigger with more counter for faster exit.

Here's a bit of a unique review. Google just asked me how was Stuttgart airport. Hahaha. I flew there as a pilot and spent an hour there before flying back to my base, so I never saw the terminal from the inside. It is easy to move about the apron, they gave clear instructions and the approach is not complicated. Friendly ground staff who get their job done to high standard. It also appears clean and newly renovated. It is a prime place for planespotting. The only downside is the steep slope for taxi and takeoff, but no complaints overall. It is also located only 30min by train from the city. Hope to fly there again in the near future.

Worst airport I‘ve ever been to. Today I lost my flight because of the German inneficiency. I advice anyone to avoid flights from here.

It all started with a full hour to drop off the luggage because the luggage train stopped working and it took about 25min to make it work again. They also called people who had earlier flights to come in front of the line.

After that fiasco, I went to the security check which had a line of hundreds of people. Please see the first photo that is the beginning of the line on which we can not even see where the security check is. The second photo is after 1h of waiting and arriving to see where the security is, but still not there. I spent in total 1h45min to pass the security.

What is outrageous is that they had only 2 terminals for security check that were opened, when so many people were expected at the airport. What is even more, the terminal 3 one where I waited had only 2 scans opened. And to add the cherry to the cake, the people working at the security had no desire to hurry up. They were taking their time, making jokes, etc.

So after I lost my flight for obvious reasons, I went to see what I can do about my ticket. There, I got to be scolded by a lady who told me I should come 2h before a flight. The lady had a difficult time doing the math that 1h + 1h45 = 2h45.
It turns out I cannot be reimbursed because it‘s not the fault of the airline. It seems the fault is mine? I was in the airport 2h10 before the flight, but they said I should have come earlier. How can one know they need 3 hours?

In the video you can see the luggage that waits for the people like me who lost their flight and need to pick it up and go back home even though they had holiday plans.

I am surprised that there are still flights leaving from this airport. Shame on you Stuttgart Airport!

An old airport which is a bit badly laid out with very limited restaurants and coffee shops. Not much duty free shopping available either. But fast security checks and good connectivity makes it a bit easier to travel. One surprising thing was did not find a single drinking water filling station after security flying out. The airport is easily accessible via underground train from Stuttgart city.

This is literally the worst airport I ever had to endure passing through. It seems like nobody wants to work here. On a busy day at the beginning of summer break, they close all security lanes and let all passengers pass through one single gate. The only lounge available for Priority Pass members (which was pathetic anyway) is now permanently closed “due to Covid” (lol). In short, this airport should be avoided at all costs if you have any appreciation for efficiency and decency left in you.

Stuttgart Airport is not small... It's close to the city about 25min with train from main station... The airport train station is in the building of airport... There is so much travelers every day... There is many places to eat or drink anything and to take little rest before flight... The staff who work there is so kind and helpful and answer on all questions... If you want to buy some clothes or some German products there is lot places to do it... All recommendations for take flight or connection from there👌
