ABI on the other hand, while having the benefits of a small airport, is just a hole. But that could be said about the entire city too.
TYR is ground handling, gate checks all go to baggage claim and they take forever. They can't get their act together when it is cold leaving you very delayed(oops we needed deicing fluid today?), and there are only vending machines if you want something to drink.
