Don't worry if you forgot to pick up some huckleberry jam in Missoula before you left. They sell it in the gift shop after you go through security, and you won't have to check it.Upvote20Downvote
Alex KadenFebruary 5, 2012Make sure you give extra time for AM flights. Never know if Security will be open or closed and it will take a few minutes to figure out your gate as they are not marked well.Upvote15Downvote
Evan AndersonJune 30, 2012Not sure what everybody is bitching & moaning about - been through hundreds of times, TSA is less strict than the other super populated airports. No need to show up 2 hours early unless you want to.Upvote10DownvoteUpvoted Jan 15
Amanda JessopNovember 7, 2012Nothing but great things to say about this airport. Everyone is very helpful. Small but homey.Upvote6Downvote
Easy airport to get in and out of. Be a little early for your flight as you never know if TSA will be staffed appropriately.Upvote1Downvote
Juston PayneJuly 18, 2021The observation deck on the 2nd floor is a nice touch. Otherwise, this airport feels like it was designed by someone who has never designed a building.

Elissa WhiteOctober 4, 2013I can get through security here from curb to gate in 15 mins with checked bags. It takes my friends longer to drive home from the airport than it does for me to get through security.UpvoteDownvote
Jodie RJuly 6, 2011In the airport gift shop they have adorable Montana hand made earings based on local flowers. Check em out!UpvoteDownvote
Mike CarterDecember 30, 2011Get there early!!!! There's as many employees as guests and it still takes an hour to get from ticketing to the gate!UpvoteDownvote
Love the brand new terminal and amenities!UpvoteDownvote
Unlike NYC airports or other major hubs, the TSA agents at MSO actually make you remove liquids from your bag and carry your boarding pass through the metal detector for an additional verification.Upvote3Downvote
LaLa WDecember 28, 2011The nicest ramp and ticketing agents EVER! TSA is the strictest I've encountered EVER. Adhere to strict 3-1-1 code :-(Upvote2Downvote- Leave time to get coffee at Liquid Planet. I love the matcha.UpvoteDownvote
If you’re on one of those early ass flights, have no fear, Liquid Planet is there!UpvoteDownvote
KatieJanuary 12, 2013Alaska Airlines's gate is actually up the stairs from security, over the walkway and back down the stairs. A little annoying but not as annoying as ending up back outside security again!UpvoteDownvote
Hopefully you won't be stuck here waiting for the door repair man to drive in from Bozeman.Upvote2Downvote
Don't be a jerk and talk on your phone on speaker in public. Not a good look.Upvote1Downvote
George MannJuly 5, 2012Just watched the tsa make a 90 year old man stand up out of his wheelchair so they could hasel him about his cell phone.UpvoteDownvote
If you think you are there early, you are not. The delta desk is confused and will make you feel late.Upvote5Downvote
Allegiant TravelMarch 9, 2012Be sure to stop by the Visitors Center on the Main Level!Upvote1Downvote
The terminal might be dark if you arrive late night.UpvoteDownvote
Kevin JacksonAugust 17, 2014Frontier has no kiosks at this airport. Add extra time for check-in.UpvoteDownvote
Dane BriggsNovember 30, 2013Bloody Gutting hooks don't make it past TSA in your carry on. Oops!Upvote1Downvote
Robert FincherNovember 5, 2010Take your laptop out of your bag at security. If you don't they will run your bag again and you will spend more time at security.UpvoteDownvote
Leaving after an amazing weekend! 😭Upvote1Downvote- Buy soda in the machine, it is one buck cheaper.UpvoteDownvote
Brooke MaltSeptember 5, 2011Such a fantastic airport! love Missoula and all the people up here.Upvote3Downvote- Apparently, delta now flys at the allegiant gate, but delta failed to inform passengers. Luckily gates are 10 feet apart...Upvote1Downvote
- Wash your hands after using the restroom. When there are 5 of us in a bathroom why am I the only one to wash my hands?

Extra thorough pat downs if you refuse the cancer machine!UpvoteDownvote
Checked bag cutoff is 40 minutes prior to departure rather than 1 hour so that's neatUpvote2Downvote- Elza GennicksJuly 19, 2010Pick up a bag of the "Montana Wild Huckleberry Crunch," it is awesome!UpvoteDownvote
Michael MeyersApril 18, 2012People are not kidding; TSA agents are strictest in country.Upvote1Downvote
kayla leibMarch 14, 2010Check your shiz that's over 3oz. Super annoying to be stuck in security because people don't :)UpvoteDownvote
