    Such a nice airport. Easy to get in and out of. South Bend should be proud to have this airport.

    One of the most comprehensive multimodal facilities in the U.S., South Shore Line train to Chicago, Greyhound and South Bend city buses all stop here, along with the airport. Bravo South Bend!

    Make sure you don't forget to gather all your items, especially at the bar and deli in terminal A. If you leave it they will take it and keep it for themselves.

    Great small airport! Easy walk from parking lot and into terminal. Security lines generally short and TSA staff friendly.

    Smaller airport. Time from check-in to gate is short. Rental vehicles are on site.

    The smallest airport I fly in and out of. Friendliest staff and TSA I have encountered in the country. Unless this is a busy game weekend, security should take you about 5 min or less to go through.

    Try the Locish app. Great suggestions from local residents on places to eat and things to see.

    Cheaper to fly into here- with layover in Chicago ORD- than to fly non-stop into ORD on United. Car rental is a snap- just walk out the side door and there you are.

    No need to wait before security anymore.. There is a new snack shop and bar beyond security, plenty of outlets and leather chairs. Big improvement!

    Fly United. After they cancel your flight and lose your bags maybe they will frame you for murder so you can spend the rest of your life in a federal penitentiary.

    Nice new terminal. Nice work area with large personal desks, power outlets, and 45 min of free internet to get work done.

    Stop at the cocktail bar, but get beer or bourbon. Pass on the wine.

    They don’t have a water machine to fill a bottle like most airports so maje sure you get a bottle before boarding. Otherwise, very efficient airport!

    Don't be in a hurry to get off the plane if u have to claim luggage. Feel free to stop to freshen up, change clothes, and perhaps knit a hat. Baggage claim is so slow. But my bags always arrive safely

    If you're flying to or from Chicago from here you better grab an early flight unless you like delays.

    Want to see the sights of the terminal, you can if you have checked your bag and your destination is SB. To longer to get luggage here then in O'Hare.

    I thought the TSA agent tip was a joke, until I counted at least Ten agents for one check in area.

    Don't get stuck here. There's no place to eat. The new cafe in the gate area is like a 7-11 that serves draft beer.

    Do not get a drink in the gate area, lots of mixer little alcohol especially for the price. Wait to a better airport or drinking establishment
