Aéroport Paris-Beauvais Reviews 

Airport staff searched me for over 20 mins and completely emptied both of my bags without any explanation, treating me like a criminal and holding up the endless queue behind us. I was stripped of my shoes and jumper and aggressively searched for no reason and then told to wait in security as they called someone in when all i had in my bag were clothes. The man searching my bag was even taking out, and looking through all my underwear and socks (extremely unnecessary and even more disgusting considering i’m just a young girl) and beckoning over all the other security staff, pointing at me and giving me and my family dirty looks and talking about us in French which we obviously couldn’t understand - when they could clearly tell i was on the verge of tears. After someone from an office and a report form came to question me about contact with drugs or explosives they told me to proceed to my flight which i was then almost late for as i was cornered in security for over 20 minutes! Overall this was an overwhelmingly horrible experience to have as an 18 year old girl flying with her family and being completely humiliated infront of the entire airport by their own staff, with zero apology or manners. NEVER fly here if you don’t want to be traumatised!!

Incompetent security procedures at Beauvais Airport, which directly resulted in my family missing our scheduled flight (FR25) to Dublin.

Despite informing security staff on several occasions that a significant number of passengers in the queue were waiting for the FR25 flight, no effort was made to prioritise or manage the situation effectively. We were repeatedly reassured by staff that we would make our flight, yet we were left waiting in the security queue for approximately one hour 20 minutes.

This delay was especially distressing given that we were travelling with our young family, including a child with Down syndrome, who requires additional care and consideration. The lack of awareness, support, and urgency shown by your staff in this context was extremely disappointing.

Upon finally clearing security, we proceeded immediately to the gate, only to be informed that it had already closed. This was despite the repeated assurances from your security personnel that we would be in time. The entire experience demonstrated a concerning lack of coordination and professionalism among airport staff.

As a direct consequence of this failure, we were forced to book alternative flights from Charles de Gaulle Airport at a cost of €1,800. In addition to the financial burden, this situation caused significant stress and disruption to our family. Our 12-year-old daughter suffered a panic attack as a result of the ordeal, which made an already difficult situation even more distressing.

I have never encountered such incompetence in airport operations, and I am extremely disappointed by the level of service provided.

WORST AIRPORT

Terrible staff, they took our selfie stick,ruïned our luggage,treated us as criminals. Very dirty toilets,
no seats in the waiting room, a very bad restaurant Paul: our quiche was cold.
Don't start your holidays here

Terrible experience at Beauvais Airport (BVA), probably one of the worst I’ve ever had. The staff were incredibly rude and unprofessional: short, dismissive answers, arrogant attitudes, and zero willingness to help passengers.

The liquid rules are handled in an absurd and almost punitive way. You are forced to fit everything into one single tiny bag provided by them, and it doesn’t matter if you already have other perfectly compliant bags — they are not accepted. If something doesn’t fit, even if it’s expensive or actually necessary (like medical items), they simply tell you to throw it away. No explanation, no alternatives, just “throw it out.”

The organization is completely chaotic: extremely long lines, unclear directions, and staff who, instead of helping, only add to the confusion. On top of that, the rudeness is constant, as if answering basic questions were a burden.

As if that wasn’t enough, the airport is also very inconvenient: getting to Paris takes about 1.5 to 2 hours by car, making the whole experience even more stressful and impractical.

In short: disorganized, rude, inconvenient, and completely lacking any care for passengers. I would avoid this airport if possible.

the most horrible airport I‘ve ever seen.
organisation -10, staff -100. super unfriendly and mean. no organisation at all, you have to stand in line like for hours.
if you can avoid it to be here, even as a cap driver.

Everything went wrong. The airport’s security makes no sense. They ask you to take out your liquids from your bag just to put them into another bag. They ask you to take out everything from your backpack to pass the security detector, things like your hair straightener and your camera. Once you get to the gates, you don’t even have enough seats for everyone (there was an old man who needed a seat and couldn’t find one, I had to give it up for him). When I boarded, they made me wait out in the cold to enter the airplane (more than 20min). The cafe kiosk had barely nothing to eat at 7pm. I thought the worst part was the bus ride from the airport to the city center, but the airport experience itself was even worse. Never again traveling to Paris Beauvais.

TO AVOID!!!The worst airport and the worst staff in the world!!!!

My son mistakenly booked tickets for us, we later told him to cancel which he forgot, we reached company to request a refund, they said they cant do anything about it. SCAMERS!

My family and I had come to Paris for three days of rest over the weekend, and when we were supposed to return to Cagliari (at Beauvais Airport), and we were at security, a member of staff threw away my little sister's dental medicine (which was quite expensive), even though we had explained the situation to her, and she mercilessly threw it away as if nothing had happened. Furthermore, when we were in Paris, my mother had bought a cream, also very expensive, and they threw that away, even though we had shown the receipt. It wasn't a pleasant experience at all because the other times when we left they didn't say anything to us, while this time they threw it away without any understanding. The security staff was very arrogant and completely incomprehensible.
🤬😡😤

Chaos. What an awful experience.

⭐ 1 star The shuttle

I had a very disappointing experience with this shuttle service from Beauvais to Paris.

I bought a ticket but mistakenly selected the wrong airport. I contacted customer support within 30 minutes of purchase, and the trip was scheduled for the next day. I clearly explained the situation and asked for a refund since the service had not been used.

They refused, saying that refunds are not allowed according to their terms and conditions.

This response shows a complete lack of customer care. When a customer reports a mistake promptly and does not use the service, refusing any refund or solution is neither reasonable nor humane. Simply hiding behind “terms and conditions” is not good customer support, and some terms can be unfair or even contrary to basic consumer rights.

Good service is not only about rules — it’s about how you treat people. Unfortunately, this company showed no flexibility, no understanding, and no respect for its customers.

I would not recommend this service due to their poor treatment of clients.

Insufficient staff in all areas for number of customers)high volume of travellers. Stressful ambience. Lack of sufficient seating in departure areas. Toilets are disgusting, filthy with no seats! Worst airport ever visited and it is the same every time. Confusing considering they have to be making quite a lot of income from the huge number of customers

Me, my mom and my grandma travelled to beauvais airport and it was overall a great experience. 4 stars just because it is far from Paris, but that’s what you get with the price. We got to skip the queues as my grandma uses a walker, which was such a nice thing. The walker also waited for us outside the plane when we landed which was surprising. Security went fast. They were very careful about everything especially liquids but if you do as they say you’ll get through it fast. However, it was a little confusing to us why would they schedule 4 flights leaving at the same time and then the next ones much later. It would have been nicer to schedule them on different times, because the line to the boarding pass check was too long to fit in the building. Thankfully it went fast. Staff was nice and I would fly to bva again if I went to Paris. By ordering an uber in advance, you’ll get to Paris in less than 1,5 hours which went by so fast. I recommend this airport and personally do not understand all the hate. But ofc this was only my experience.

The most terrible airport I've ever been. Rude security check. They threw away all my clothes to check my back. Part of my clothes have been left at the airport, because otherwise I would have missed my flight.

It's terrible, I arrived at the airport at 8pm and it was closed, they kicked us out, and the next flight is at 6am. There's nowhere to put our luggage and there's only a hotel next by, where rooms start at €100, do whatever you want, sit outside and wait for 6 hours until it opens again.

Poor security 5 stations only o e working long delays

An airport with the worst security personnel I've ever encountered, especially the older people who seem to want to mock passengers and show no professionalism whatsoever. I don't understand how a country like France can portray this third-world airport image to the world.

Awful service...poor staf and hygiene....-100 stars

If I could put no stars I would if I could put -100 stars I ABSOLUTELY would. What a ridiculous absolutely piss-taking airport. Worst airport I’ve ever been to.
Check in took ages, and the queue for checking boarding passes was absolutely horrendous, leading all the way outside. To make matters worse, I am currently in the queue for boarder control and there is only two workers on duty to check the passports of around over 300 people at this moment. My flight is in less than an hour and I might not make it solely because of this bloody airports disorganisation. This is my second time flying through this airport and my previous experience had same extent of dissatisfaction. If you thought all that is bad, the air conditioning is below room temperature, we are absolutely freezing. I’ve been to many airports, some even smaller than beauvais and yet they still made effort to keep things moving. I’m am in complete abhorrence.
