    My tip: Be grateful you didn't have to drive to New Orleans, Jackson, or Houston. Be thankful you had the convenience and experience of flying in the air- LIKE A BIRD!

    This airport is beautiful. Free wi-fi, tons of comfortable seating and easily rental car return/access. Bring snacks and print boarding passes from home--no self serve check in.

    Wow, this is truly my favorite airport. The people are friendly, the facilities are pristine, and security was quick.

    Clean place. There is a small bar (w alcohol) outside security. Tips are right - dont come early - TSA not even open until 6:30!

    This is the cleanest and most relaxed airport i'v ever been to. No need to arive early, it's very quick through check in and security.

    If you're flying United Airlines get ready for a wait if you need to check in a bag. They do not man the counter like a bigger airport. Other than that, it's very clean and never crowded.

    Coffee is only served for the early flights once you get passed Security. There is a vending machine for cold drinks.

    No bar, but quick and easy to get around. Early flights take less than 10 minutes to get checked in and through security!

    BYOM, bring your own magazines. There's no newstands or books sold, and I think 1 vending machine once you're in the gates.

    Arrived early as one would at a large airport. Didn't expect to beat the ticketing agent. Don't bother with early arrival if you can help it. Stuck, waiting, and hungry. No one in sight to answer ??s.

    The snack bar does have a liquor license but you never know when they will be open.

    Charge all devices before getting here. There are no electrical outlets in the terminal. Also, don't arrive early or hungry. The terminal has a small concession stand with junk food. That's it.

    The only food is a little cafe outside of security, wonderbread sandwiches and burgers ... Blt on wheat not bad, ketchup packs for fries was absolutely nasty! Eat them plain! They do have free wi-fi.

    Stuck in the airport and a vegetarian. Your option is a yucky grilled cheese, chips or an apple. Or go for peanut m&m's. :•\

    Get ready for your Gate Massage - a TSA pat-down with a "Happy Landing".

    TSA has 3 letters. That's about the max IQ it takes to run this place.
