SDF is a small airport - a lot is changing right now (dec 16) but Chili's is usually very good. I'll say Almira the Delta gate agent is my favorite gate agent ever. So customer service focused!Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Will be glad when the remodel is finished. Parking and getting in and out is easy. Only $1 if you are just dropping someone off or picking them up park for a short amount of time.Upvoted Jan 27
Welcome to Louisville! Lines are generally short so you don't have to "jockey" for a spot in the security zones. TSA agents are friendly as long a you don't "stirrup" any trouble. Horses live here.Upvoted 2 weeks ago- Roger PaigeJanuary 27, 2018Book & Bourbon is a great meeting spot, good food and great drinks. Rental car is on ground and returns are easy. Very user friendly.
Order your coffee from Starbucks via mobile app while in security line. It will be ready and waiting for you when you get thru security. The Starbucks line is always longer than the TSA Precheck line.
My local airport - I've never had a problem here. The TSA security line can look scary long but they are pretty fast. Arrive in plenty of time to catch flight just to be safe.
Cynthia AckermanDecember 10, 2014One of the cleanest, most spacious and quietest airports I've EVER BEEN TO. I hope to fly through here again cause it was such a good experience!
Louisville International AirportJanuary 15, 2013Monthly discounts for airport restaurants now offered on FlyLouisville.com mobile site. Coffee, Pizza, Fried Chicken and more!
Welcome to Louisville! Be sure to check out the NuLu District for dining, culture, and shopping. Better yet charter a Bourbon Trail excursion! See Y'all soon!
Michael SheehanJuly 14, 2011If you land and you don't have a place to stay, try the 21C Museum Hotel. The place is amazing. It's on 6th or 7th & Main. Funky, hippster hotel with Proof, a cool bar/restaurant. There's my tip.
While in Louisville: get a Louisville slugger made, visit Churchill Downs site of the Kentucky Derby, check out the Ali museum, drink some Bourbon!- Cool Fact: consuming a double shot of Kentucky bourbon on the rocks before boarding has been known to muffle the sound of a crying child.

Nicolas PoppeJune 26, 2019Great little airport! A gates are neat and very relaxing. One minor thing, the seats don’t allow you sleep.
Beautiful newly remodeled Airport. Try a bourbon at Book and Bourbon or just look at all the beautiful scenes of Louisville on the walls.
Watch out for the ridiculous golf carts driving perfectly healthy people to and from the gates. They will beep at you and near well run you over to get some lazy person through faster.
Josh LaboveNovember 21, 2014SDF stands for Stanford Field, the original name of Louisville International Airport. As of 2010, the terminal building has been renamed for the city's longest serving mayor, Jerry Abramson.
While in louisville, stop and eat at one of the spinellis locations.A must see while in kentucky!!
Jillana BSeptember 20, 2012Love this airport. small & car rental/return is steps from checkin. Tsa security guy asked me if i would "feel comfortable" taking my blazer off, & i said not really, so he didnt make me. :-)

Rachel AndersonDecember 3, 2011B4 you get around corner towards gate b-15 stop; there is yummy sour green apple licorice in front of the small snack store!!!! Beware there aren't any drinks in there! Wish uGood flight!!!;)
The new Pre-check line is the real deal here now. Nice!
Aran RodríguezOctober 2, 2019Good and neat airport. I think a few more food and drinking spots would benefit travellers a lot more.
Seems like no matter when I arrive, I'm always at the very end of the terminal... Makes for a very long walk past a lot of empty gates! #usemoregates- Louisville International AirportJune 27, 2012Take advantage of the Read and Return offer at the airport bookstores. Buy a hardcover book, read it, return it within six months and get 50% of your money back.
rick wionDecember 6, 2023Excellent selection of bourbons to sample both before and after passing security.
Jeffrey RMay 14, 2017Visit the bourbon tasting room and don't forget to get a photo with KFC Sanders
Michael FullmerApril 15, 2013The Altitude Lounge now accepts Platinum and Diamond Medallions (I'm sure other airlines too) complimentary. Anyone traveling with you though will have to pay the $5.00.
Visit Museum Row on Main: Show your ticket stub from any of these attractions (Frazier International History Museum, Glassworks, Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, Louisville Science Center, Kentuck
Picking up Bill! Delta is ready when you are. Many bags look alike. The moving sidewalk is ending. Parking: how about one dollar?- Stop by the Spirit bar on the B Concourse for a drink, and get the free wifi password from the bartender!
Best restaurant is outside of security. If you have time, eat at Woodford- Louisville International AirportMay 2, 2011Try the Recharge Stations located in Concourse A by Delta and Concourse B by US Airways. You can recharge your electronic devices while waiting for your flight!
Coals Artisan Pizza is quick, local and delicious!! Halfway down Concourse B- Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF)March 24, 2015Try the Credit Card Only Parking Lot located adjacent to the terminal. It's easy in and easy out!
Brett SiksniusMarch 5, 2019Nice little airport. Everything closes early if you are on a later flight.
Go outside to check luggage for regular Delta flights early in morning. Under staffed inside at counters!!
While it's great that they have a full on pre-check lane there is no priority lane. When you don't get pre-check, security is a hassle. #axcesstravel
Feel free to use the family restroom, even if you don't have a baby. It's a single stall & you can lock the outer door in order to change or freshen makeup after landing undisturbed.
The security is far more efficient and move you along quickly with plenty of open lanes
I never knew you picked up your rental car right at baggage claim! So easy!!
SamsoniteMay 3, 2011In 1985 the Standiford Art Foundation was created at Louisville International Airport. This lead to the placement of art and original commissions throughout the airport.- Louisville International AirportNovember 21, 2012Visit the airport's new mobile website - www.FlyLouisville.com - for real-time flight information and details on special promotions for airport shopping and dining!

Welcome to Louisville! Remember your drink of choice is now bourbon.

To meet your Uber or Lyft driver, walk to the end of the waiting area across from the taxi stand.- Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF)January 29, 2015Try a Bourbon Flight at the Bourbon Loft (second floor above Starbucks)!
