Go out of your way if you have to towards gate A13 but the breakfast smoothie buenos Dias with Milk banana eggs almonds oats and honey is awesome !
Upvoted Oct 1- Stephanie SlaughterJune 28, 2013I agree on the TSA screeners being fast and polite! I caught the TSA attendant in front of me dancing spontaneously and joined him for a mini dance party, we laughed and he wished me a good flight!!Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Very fast screening! Even at 11 am on a Friday, time from walking in the front door to check in to getting past screening was just 10-15 minutes. Kudos to the staff!Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Very easy to navigate as this is a small airport. Best restaurants are la Gloria and vino volo. Can't wait for the new rental car space to open up adjacent to the baggage claim!Upvoted Oct 18
What a great airport. Very easy to get around. TSA is quick, efficient and helpful. Always like flying to and from the San Antonio Int'l Airport. 😁
If you're parking in the garage, park to the right on any floor for American and Continental, for anything else park to your left. You'll be in-line with your terminal, saving you time.
Sajid KApril 28, 2016Free rapid phone charger stations right in front of A 7 gate and dunkin donuts . With free Ebooks and audiobooks . Excellent idea by San Antonio public library
Kenike MarceauMarch 23, 2019Caution and please bring your patience as road construction 🚧 has created delays at the entrance into the airport. You should still arrive early enough to prepare for your departures/arrivals.
The Most Interesting Man in the WorldJune 17, 2014I always hear of people losing their luggage. But everytime I come through this airport, the people in baggage claim give me an extra bag.
Every chair now has an AC plug! Take a lesson all other airports. SA is the best!
6 am flights always have the longest security lines. Give yourself plenty of time if you want to make your flight. Love the Dunkin Donuts coffee in Terminal 1 too. ☺✈☕
Jimmy KastnerAugust 7, 2017It's actually a pretty easy airport to navigate through. Read the signs and you'll get to where you need to go. Free Wifi is a plus.
If you plan to eat before your trip be sure and log on to the free wifi and check for coupons. It is on the homepage when you accept the terms for the wifi. Love the free wifi. Wish other had it!
If you are in transit to shift floors to pick your Rental Car, Baggage, Ticketing, Check in, I highly recommend to use the elevators. They are less confusing than using the electric stairs.- TSA is courteous and helpful, lots of outlets for charging, free WiFi that works, and a San Antonio Public Library kiosk where you can charge your device while downloading a free book rental.
If you park here & don't want to bring your parking ticket with you, just take a pic with your phone bc telling them you are on the 2 nd flr brings up the next ? of which garage😳- Justin CovertDecember 23, 2014Some rental car companies might require a phone call for the shuttle. Also get there as early as possible when departing, even if it requires sitting at the bar for an extra hour. ;)
Easy airport to get around, staff is very friendly…. Great direct flights to Mexico City. Don’t forget to check out Merit coffee shop for delicious local coffee.
Terminal B is superior to A in many ways. One reason is that the sink faucets in Terminal B have a full stream whereas A's faucets comes out at an Eco-friendly trickle.
Relatively easy to get in and out of. It'll be a lot better once the onsite rental car facility is completed.
In the event of severe weather such as a tornado or hurricane, get over to the B gates and take shelter.
Vanessa SpringfieldDecember 22, 2014Simply Fantastic! This Int'l airport is not overcrowded, but surely it is well-organized. Also, going through security is pretty fast. Thumbs up!
There is a Raising Cane's in the terminal. If you haven't had it, definitely try it. Started in Louisiana. Chicken known for their great sauce
John HankusJanuary 8, 2015Most of the restaurants are just past security. Try some Raising Canes chicken strips. Delicious. Airport is a relatively short ride from downtown.- Tony TDecember 19, 2022No major delays, no long lines at TSA check points. As a matter of fact TSA is very efficient here. Plenty of parking. Plenty of signage to guide you through. Get in, wait, eat, and fly out.
Sergio ReynalOctober 15, 2016Best airport ever, wait lines at the check-in desk and immigration are short and fast. Restrooms are as clean as it gets, free wifi and charging stations everywhere.
If departures car drop off line is long - get dropped off in Arrivals and take the escalator up to check-in. This saved me so much time.
Ben JoséApril 13, 2014Free wifi! And tons of electrical outlet plugs underneath all the lounge seats! What is this magical place? At LAX, I had to fight thru crowds to get a plug to charge my phone! SA airport, ftw!
Carmen Noire SanDiegoSeptember 20, 2013Unlike Philly (where I'm from) airport, SAT wifi actually works! And outlets in the seats! Lovely! Fast Security line too!
Gary SkyersMay 9, 2015USO is a great place to relax if you have a long layover....have an alternative plan if your flight is early and on weekends...USO might not open as scheduled..0600
Fly American Airlines or United. They both utilize Terminal B — which is very nice, has power outlets on every seat and has very nice curbside, check-in and TSA staff. And it's rarely crowded.
Helga ParkerSeptember 2, 2015Make sure you download the coupons once you sign in to use the free wifi. You can get discounts at pretty much all the shops and restaurants in both terminals...
One of the most efficient TSA spots. Typically, even with high traffic, I have no problems with getting through check in to gate within 60 mins.
Gaston Motola AcunaSeptember 26, 2017Security line .can be crazy at times, great airport. Lots of options, bars, etc.
J BFebruary 24, 2018Truly love flying into and out of this airport because of the amenities offered and flight options available to choose from.
JDAugust 8, 2014Remember to always prepare for the checkppint, leave allyour stufff inside a pack or jacket to avoid having to take it all out individually at the checkpoint
Keems HBWHJune 19, 2013Apparently you can only have pointer qt sized bag of liquids..thought I'd have to choose between my Mary Kay and my mouthwash. I almost fainted. Shoved them all in one. TSA agent was kind. 1 bag!
Social News NetworkMarch 25, 2013They have made a lot of great new additions to the airport, including some new restaurants and free wifi. Don't forget your tablet!
Everything's bigger in TX - especially security lines. Get there very early. Apparently they have no idea how many people need the get through security at 6 AM. People are missing flights AGAIN
Have your ride pick you up on the upper level at Terminal 2. Use the escalator behind the USO in Baggage Claim or just walk straight out if you carried on.
Axel CardosoJanuary 3, 2015There is a big difference with other airports like Houston's, for international travelers, the Customs officers come After you retrieve your luggage, so be careful and be patient.
Vic RodgersApril 12, 2014If you travel via US Airways you will be in great shape, that's why I love US Air. But if you fly Southwest be prepared for a long line....
T. GraySeptember 23, 2014Free WiFi! With all of the different things airports and airlines are charging for these days, WiFi should always be free. Thanks, SAT!
If you can pack a carry on you can by pass check in and head straight to the security checkpoint. Sunday is very busy as early as 5 am.
One of the 60+ airports supported by FlySmart app, which offers real-time flight data, concession listings and BingTM airport venue maps.
San Antonio airport is amazing for such a large city. Lines are rarely long and they have a pretty good layout
Janai WilliamsSeptember 23, 2014For being such a small airport, the bar options are pretty on point. The free wifi and abundance of outlets doesn't hurt either!
Jorge R.January 2, 2015Free Wifi, quick security lines, clean and new, food court and stores. A pleasure to fly out and in.
The priority screening security line is a bit difficult to find, but it's spectacular! I got in line and was through security in about 2 minutes. Nice work!

"Spiced chai latte at Green Beans Coffee is really good. The strawberry croissant isn't gourmet, but light and flaky all the same."
