Plodiv Airport

I know this is a bit of a random question but what is the airport like especially for coming home (like facilities and things!!) because we got stuck in Heraklion airport in Greece on a delay and there was nothing there not even a bar where we could get a drink!!!

Any info would be greatly recieved!!!

Right Plovdiv is BASIC. It was originally a military base and adapted for the ski season. It has 1 tiny duty free shop which sometimes has next to nothing in it. No cafes or coffee shops.

Daniel.
I don't know when you last went to Plovdiv airport but we have just come back.
There is a coffee shop before check in and another in the waiting area after check in.
Coffee, crisps, chocolate etc etc.
