Insider notes

Time

Security lines peak in the morning and late afternoon. Allocate extra time on Ryanair and Wizz Air-heavy days as queues can stretch far back into check-in.

Quiet

For a peaceful pre-flight work environment, head to the Upstairs bar in the Tulip Inn. It’s more serene than the main terminal cafes.

Insider

Post-security, avoid the initial crowd by moving towards the far gates where seats are more available, and lines at Starbucks and La Place are shorter.

About this airport

Welcome

Eindhoven Airport may not have the grandeur of major European hubs, but it efficiently handles a hefty volume of low-cost leisure traffic with a single, compact terminal. Located just 7.6 km west of Eindhoven city, it often feels more like a bustling bus station for Ryanair and Wizz Air passengers. The terminal promises quick transitions from plane to curb, allowing you to hop on a bus to town while still enjoying a fresh salad from La Place or a local Bavaria beer.

At a glance

Handling approximately 6.8 million passengers annually, Eindhoven Airport features a single runway and one terminal, T1. Despite its intimate size, you’ll find essentials like McDonald’s and Starbucks alongside local favorites such as The Bar. Shuttle services and high-frequency Bus 400 and Bus 401 connect the airport seamlessly to Eindhoven Centraal, ensuring efficient travel without the need for pricey taxis.

Terminals & layout

The airport consists of one terminal—T1—catering primarily to low-cost airlines like Ryanair, Transavia, and Wizz Air. It’s a straightforward layout, albeit busy, with travelers appreciating its walkable nature despite occasional crowding, especially during the morning and late afternoon peaks. There’s limited seating immediately post-security, but those willing to stroll a bit further can find more comfortable spots near the far gates.

Getting to and from the city

Public transportation from Eindhoven Airport is straightforward, with Buses 400 and 401 providing direct routes to Eindhoven Centraal. The ride takes about 20 minutes and costs significantly less than a taxi, appealing to the airport's cost-conscious travelers. For those preferring private transport, metered taxis and app-based rideshare pickups are readily available. If you’re driving, expect parking fees of about €50 per day in any of the onsite lots like P1 through P5.

Traveller essentials

Security lines can become lengthy, especially during peak Ryanair and Wizz Air schedules, so consider arriving early. If you’re intent on finding a quieter pre-security spot, the Upstairs restaurant in the Tulip Inn hotel provides a calm atmosphere with good views and power outlets. For currency needs, GWK Travelex is readily available landside, but airside currency services are more limited.

Dining & shopping highlights

Eindhoven Airport caters to both quick eating and leisurely dining. Airside, La Place serves freshly prepared salads and sandwiches that surpass typical airport fare, while The Bar offers local Bavaria beers with an excellent view of the apron activity. Craving global brands? You can shop at Relay or Victoria’s Secret in T1, perfect for grabbing last-minute gifts or travel essentials.

Lounges

The Aspire Lounge by Swissport offers a refuge from the bustling main terminal. Located airside, this small lounge provides complimentary Wi-Fi, drinks, and snacks, and is accessible via Priority Pass or for a fee. Frequent travelers recommend it when the main departure area becomes crowded.
