Well, the connection to city is terrible. No express line. Be aware of taking a minibus. Its small, without any ventilation and overcrowded. There is awesome lounge, one of the best I ever been in - primeclass in Terminal E. Highly suggest.

Primeclass lounge is worth every penny. Check it out when in transit. Or when traveling internationally.

The Riga airport (RIX) is awesome! I've been here only for a short layover and I loved it since soon. It's tidy, cozy, and extremely detailed in everything. It's way better than many many other big hubs in the world. Definitely one of the best airport I've ever visited.

The airport itself is quite small, so you can't expect a huge shopping mall in it, but there are all that you need. Extra is a great, free wifi.
The airport is close to the city center and connected by cheap public transportation (1,15 eur). Fast security control - from the moment you enter the airport (without checked in luggage) you can get to your gate in less then 10 minutes.
Obviously the time differs, but it has never taken me more than 10 minutes :)

Perhaps the only plus side is that the transfer really works. Other than that, the terminal was super crowded and there was not enough space and seating.

Nice airport with many facilities and smoking terace in the terminal, but the security check people was not friendly at all, and they spoke bad English. The WiFi at the airport was excellent.

Gets boring after a few hours. Downstairs area has some soft chairs and decent internet, usually less crowded. Snack foods from Narvesen (sandwiches are pretty good), pizza place is good. Shopping is just past security, away from the gates.

Slightly crowded airport but with good facilities for it's present size. Expansion is being built at the moment (oct 2015).
The wifi is spotless all over the terminal and shops offer good value food (Lido landside) and drinks (Narvesen airside).
Connection options to the city centre are numerous, with a city bus taking 45 min, a minibus around 35 and a taxi 20 min outside rushhour.
Main complaint is the sluggish security control. Every passanger is supposed to wait untill a clerk provides them with a plastic crate for their belongings. Many airports in Europe allow people to prepare for checks by themselves, and this greatly speeds up the process. Would be someting to consider for RIX. That said, queues for security are barely very long, so the wait is managable.

Excellent and modern airport. Sometimes there are long queues on check-in. Duty free shops are costly, however food in Lido is superb. Short time parking is very costly. But there is always option for cab or bus.

A little outdated and overcrowded airport however expansion is in process.
Some notifications in terminal were inaudible and there were wrong gate numbers on monitors for some flights. Security check area was overcrowded and security officers were impolite, but overall very realaxing and calm experience.

Loathsome staff at the security check. Treating the passengers like the enemies. Check-in machines from the previous century. Air conditioning vehicle arrived just before take-off. For half an hour the temperature inside the A/C was terrible.

Medium size, excellent food and fast wifi. When travelling light, it is the ideal place for a quick, no-fuss processing. Close to city centre and it takes about 3 minutes to get from the plane to the street outside the airport.

Airport is close to the capital, and you can get there by bus-22.The airport isn't big, and there can be big lines at the check-in. The food and Wi-Fi is good.

The airport is well connected to the city and different transportations means are available. Terminal facilities are good both inside the check in area both outside. The WiFi connection is really good and it is a good airport for expenses also. Price are moderately reasonable. Of course, flyiong away a visit to the airport LIDO is needed :)

Don't exactly know whether it was the airport stuff fault or not, my suitcase was brutally damaged. The good thing about this airport is that it's not huge and not crowded at all. Moreover,the stuff was very helpful and the lemon cheesecake was pretty tasty.

A very nice and clean airport, although small. However, one problem is the insufficient signage for the baggage pick-up after landing. They should do something about that.

Thumbs up for automatic boarding pass check before security control. Apart from that, terminal is rather small and outdated. Lacks some amenities, like fast foods (airside at least).

RIX is suffering from high traffic generated by airBaltic's transit flights so facilities become too small, waiting area is usually overcrowded. In genera RIX is good, but desperately needs expansion! Be advised on long queues and high prices!

very nice airport, from my experience the most cosy one:) Even though they turn light off from 3am to 4 am, it's very comfortable to sit on the sofas and browse with airBaltic free Wi-Fi:)

Clean airport, but the structure starts to be too small for the traffic (specially now with Ryanair). It's strange to see many parts of the terminal really crowded all the day and some others completely empty! More organisation needed! 3 to 4 stars
