    Sit at the main terminal and watch the C-17s & Fighter jets take off from the air force base. Very cool!

    I'm amazed that there are only two baggage claims area and that they can be so slow. Also lost my bag for 4 hours. Cool.

    Situation with the luggage has improved unless I arrived where there was not much traffic. The food options indeed are better before passing security. Otherwise small and cite airport.

    Don't wear lace up shoes! You don't want to get slowed down at security.

    Free wifi is great- but not when it's so slow you can't get any work done! :(

    The wifi here is just miserable. Plain and simple, it doesn't work. Ugh. Why free wifi that works isn't a no-brainer in public places now - especially airports - is beyond me.

    Bring your own food. Little to no options once you're past security.

    Charleston TSA employees are typical government workers. Had my groin patted down. Complete waste of taxpayer $.

    Don't be in a hurry waiting for your luggage...because the ground crew certainly isn't.
