    Nice regional small town airport. Can get basically everything you need. I'd like to see some kind of easier way to go downstairs to all turboprop carriers. Escalators should be good.

    SkyRoom Deli at the Departure lounge doesn't start operate at early hours. For those who's flying first flight out.. Make sure u snacks before u leave home or before u check-out.

    All facilities here should be upgraded to accomodate for more & more people who are travelling to Kelantan by airplane. Can be super crowded here especially during raya and school holidays.

    If you were to fly in the morning, make a quick stop for nasi kerabu takeaway and eat at the airport cafe. It's cheaper and much tastier. Just order a drink. A perfect way to end your Kelantan trip.

    Since malindo and firefly operated here, they have schedule MAS operation to facilitate every carrier included Air Asia.. the worst part, most of the flight to KLIA are always full seat.
