Get here early with enough time to grab a meal at Marlin's. This location is way better than the other Marlin's locations in town. I get the traditional eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and toast. Deeelicious!
They've got a decent IPA in the pizza place. This is based on Pacific Northwest standards, too! Actually, it might have been from the PNW... But a good way to spend some wait time, regardless!
Love FSD! Long term parking just steps tofrom terminal, short security lines, and free wifi. Plan ahead; higher than avg flight costs and limited destinations is expected with a growing regional hub.
Taxi availability and quality at the airport is low. Call (605)213-8294(TAXI) and they will dispatch a registered taxi. They offer multiple company availability so the closest is always dispatched!
If you're departing from FSD, you can't use your phone as a boarding pass. Bad news for those of us that are notorious for losing things! But it's always a quick in and out here! Staff is great!
Nice little airport, TSA was a breeze. Keep in mind most small airports across the US do have tougher TSA. Flight left 30 mins late tho because luggage personnel were slow loading the plane.
Thank you for the free WiFi. FSD has some of the best, most overstaffed, security in the nation. And that's OK with me. Delta reps, particularly Robin and Rick, give excellent customer service.
I've flown into Morocco, Nepal, Turkey and most major US cities. I get scanned, padded down and bags searched and unpacked more in this airport than any other. The TSA is diligent here. Fer sure.
I don't see what all the buzz about the TSA is. I thought the officer at the x-ray was rather pretty. Never mind the 4th amendment violations when she's around ;)
It takes the ground crews way to long for a smaller airport to unload aircraft. Expect 40 plus minutes to get your baggage. It doesn't take that long at any big airport
