Barra Airport Cafe - Outer Hebrides - Photo album
What a location!
The airport itself is a little sad, with the tender for the Cafe closing in June I hope that there is a return of got food and drink service soon - but this remains the only airport in the world with a beach runway - three of them! A once in a lifetime experience.
Tiny little terminal building literally on the beach (where the planes land). Everyone's really friendly from check-in to the ground staff offering to take photos with the little plane! The only downside is the closure of the apparently really nice cafe onsite.
The most scenic airport you will ever go to! Wonderful people. Quick flight from Glasgow too.
This is now my favourite airport in the world. We were very lucky with the conditions but our take off and landing were both very smooth. And the location...? Gorgeous.
Loganair staff here are really friendly.
The only airport in the world where planes land on the actual beach... a gorgeous beach and amazing to watch
Brilliant little airport! The staff are very helpful. Unique experience landing on a beach.
The most scenic airport in the world: Loganair Twin Otters (Viking 400s) land up to twice daily from Glasgow, on the sandy beach, configured into 3 bi-directional runways, each covered by the sea twice a day. Barra airport is owned and operated by HIAL, a Scottish Ministers' owned company. Excellent
Best airport by far, best staff and wonderful views on approach
Absolutely fantastic little airport!
Great staff based there, went the extra mile.
We were supposed to fly in last week, and back out again on Monday - all flights cancelled (thank you Brexiteers for that). Really disappointed but I just wanted to say that the staff at the airport were fantastic even though they had the horrendous job of arranging accommodation, refunds, travel, m
Lovely cafe, great espresso, super view. Fab beach just across the road...quick visit before flight.
Unique place. I did not fly. Only came to view the building and especially this unique runway! Sgoinneil Barraigh!
What a place. It is a very unique experience travelling here and is recommended for all Av Geeks
Loved it
Wonderful island, people and beaches... absolutely worth a visit
Fantastic experience and definitely worth a visit for your bucket list 😀
Apart from the uniqueness of this sole type of airport in the world. Every level of staff at Barra airport are Amazing.
I had an injury ontop of an injury. Without requesting I was placed on the flight first with a stair lift. The pilot himself over saw my boarding.
Check-in and security are so ni
Never ceases to amaze me to see the little plane land on a stunning beach. It's a 'must see' thing to do when on Barra.
Our return flight from Barra was cancelled twice due to visability. Dorlina, at check in, couldn't have been more helpful arranging accommodation, taxis and rebooking our flight. She dealt with irate passengers very calmly and efficiently.
