One of the best things about Cardiff is the lack of queues. Check in takes just a few moments, and you’re in. Similarly security only takes a minute or two, and a flight to Amsterdam and the rest of the world that KLM connects to is a fifty five minute hop. After a drink and a sandwich, and a browse of the newspaper, you’re there. Compare this to travelling with BA and you have a two hour minimum journey down the M4, the Severn Bridge toll, expensive car parking at Heathrow and then the long and tiring queues to check in and get through security. Forget Cardiff’s slightly tacky ‘charter airport’ feel, it saves you a world of hassle and stress.

The only issue that may be had with check in is if you are using Ryanair. Currently, Ryanair is the only budget airline that is flying out of Cardiff which means that a lot of people are competing for flights there. Ryanair only operates using online check in which, theoretically, speeds everything up, yet it can cause more problems than it solves. If you forget to print off you documents, or you lose them on the way to the airport, there is no facility to replace these documents when you are at the airport which means that you could miss your flight or even lose it to someone else! This, however, happens very rarely and despite initial scepticism, it does actually prevent the monotony of queuing and helps to speed up the system somewhat.
