All going to plan I should be about halfway between Glasgow and Monastir this time next week.

Does anyone have any good information about this airport? Is there long waits to be expected for immigration or baggage collection?

What about on departure, is there a good selection of shops and eataries?

Any info is greatly appreciated!

Its a small airport and offers limited options.

In my limited experience, immigration and customs do not take a significant amount of time and the local officials are polite and competent.

If you are unlucky and you arrive at the same time as a number of other aircraft, then I guess there could be some delays.

Enjoy your time in Tunisia.

I haven't been there for years! Current facilities include
Passenger Facilities: Annual Capacity 3,500,000, 46 check-in desks, 12 gates, 7 baggage claim belts, 522 short term parking spaces, Post Office, Bureau de Change, Auto Exchange Machine, Restaurants, Cafeterias, Bars, Duty Free Shop, Newsagent/Tobacconist, Gift Shop, Travel Agent, Tourist Help Desk, Car Rental, Taxi Service/Rank, First Aid, Disabled Access/Facilities46 check ins and 7 baggage belts looks better then the recently refurbed Luton which has more passengers I should think.
