The ladies at Coffee Zone (outside security) are wonderful and will make you an iced coffee upon request. My iced vanilla latte was just what I needed before my flight!Upvote9Downvote
Michelle MZJune 6, 2013This airport has the most extensive security I've seen anywhere. I was scanned, patted down, ID verified at the gate, and my purse searched at the gate, too. Just as many BP agents as TSA agents.Upvote10Downvote

Don't rush off the plane to pick up your checked bag. It always takes at least 30 minutes to pick it up!

Mandy RussellAugust 7, 2014Great little airport. They are remodeling right now, so it's kind of messy. Sometimes it's cheaper to fly from here.UpvoteDownvote

Dan MckayNovember 5, 2012Must be one of the most confusing airports in the world... if your looking for allegiant it was at gate 4 when I was here....not even a sign, and no referance on the boarding pass, blue hair air...
UpvoteDownvote- ilovemcallen murielOctober 23, 2011Check out the airlines Apps and "check in" then swing on by the computer & print boarding pass. Easy & Quick!Upvote1Downvote
Food selection is limited. The coffee place was a nice add to this airport.Upvote1Downvote- Please don't rush the person in front of you at security check-in; its annoying and Its all an exercise of hurry up and wait anyway.UpvoteDownvote
This used to be the worst airport! But the remodel has done it good! Many more outlets, a bar, a coffee shop, and a convenience store. Much, much better.UpvoteDownvote
ErickAugust 1, 2015Be careful with your baggage, there is no controlled access to luggage reception area, anyone could steal your stuff!!!UpvoteDownvote
Leonardo LombardiniNovember 11, 2010The first airport I have seen with a full body scanner (but no human sees the image, so don't worry if you are concerned)Upvote1Downvote
Fly here regularly... the little sandwich shop is always out of bread or the credit card machine is broke and the kid always looks stoned.Upvote2Downvote- Hardly any outlets. Bring a power strip or be prepared to fight for power.UpvoteDownvote
Janice HallJune 24, 2013If you have an early morning flight...don't get there before 4:15am!Upvote2Downvote
Hydrate well before you get to the gates. High price water and soft drinks-- $3!Upvote1Downvote
Nick GarzaJuly 29, 2012Make sure you PRINT your boarding pass before waiting on security. They do not the machines that can read your phones.UpvoteDownvote
Be on time or you will lose your flightUpvoteDownvote

Elena HeraldezDecember 10, 2010large unopened bottles of barcardi will not be allowed. there is 3 oz limit/rule people!UpvoteDownvote
Do not pay for parking inside the terminal. Rarely, but sometimes, it takes longer to get out of parking lot than allowed, causing new charges. Lot employees are not empowered to correct this.UpvoteDownvote
So you just made me go through security and now a TSA is randomly checking bags again at the gate! Oh ok.UpvoteDownvote
Patrick TaggartMarch 31, 2011Small airport with easy facilities which reduces the stress, especially after O'Hare! Not much in the way of food or drink, though.Upvote1Downvote
Carolina NaranjoJune 30, 2014Slowest airport known to man. Been at baggage claim for almost 45 minutes and no one is here to help!UpvoteDownvote
Prepare to have the most thorough and absolute slowest security screening in the country.Upvote3Downvote
Ellen KeszlerFebruary 20, 2011Eat before you come or bring food. Choices are very limited!!UpvoteDownvote
Gate 1 is hidden next to security exitUpvote1Downvote- Good reading material on a flight is always good!UpvoteDownvote
Remember 3.2 oz liquid limit at TSA checkpoint, its only been around for 9 years...Upvote4Downvote- Not much of a food choice, so bring something good if you arrive early for you flight..Upvote7Downvote
