Has anyone flown in/out of La Rochelle airport so far since the start of the school summer holidays and can advise what queues are like in light of the biometric scanning?

Thank you.

Just been and it was totally fine. you have to do some biometric checks but it doesn’t take that long, I don’t remember any big queues. We were flying on unusual days though - flew in on a Sunday and out on a Weds - might be a fair bit busier on a Saturday.

Thank you @minipie I’m glad it was OK for you. Sounds like you might have returned last week before British schools broke up. Has anyone travelled there this week?

Went to a similar sized French airport and it was ok, get off the plane as quickly as you can though. If another flight arrives just before you you’d wait a while.
