SXB · Alsace’s compact Entzheim gateway punches above its size on rail — a covered TER bridge puts Strasbourg-Ville about eight minutes away — but there is no Priority Pass lounge, F&B is thin, and classic 100 ml security still applies.
FKB · A compact Ryanair gateway that is painless outside the early-morning bank, but punishes anyone expecting rail links, a Priority Pass lounge, or hub-style amenities. ADV 2025: 2,257,542 passengers.

Beat the early Ryanair bank
Arrive 90 minutes before departure for 06:00–08:00 flights; 60 minutes is usually enough later in the day.
Treat it as one room
There is effectively one terminal hall — airside gates are a short walk from security with no train or shuttle.
Eat before security if you care
Landside café options are more reliable than the limited airside selection — grab food before you clear screening on longer waits.
