Summarising the findings for the city’s airports, the website said: “It may be a small airport but Southampton serves some big airlines – and does so very well.

“BA, EasyJet and Tui all operate from here, jetting off to Spain, Portugal, France, Ireland, Netherlands, Switzerland and the Channel Islands. 

“Southampton may not have a great range of shops, but it won’t matter: you won’t be stuck there very long. The only issue has been higher than average cancellations, particularly with Channel Islands flights.

“Verdict: Small and friendly, with minimal queues. “

Feedback from customers shows four stars for queues at check-in and security and five stars for backdrop.

The airport was given four stars for baggage reclaim and for staff while the seating and toilets were only given three stars.

Prices in the shops, bars and restaurants were given three stars but range was given one star.
