It's always a treat to fly into or leave from an airport that is not as big or busy as our New York…read moreairports. We arrived here at 3PM for a 5:30 flight to LGA which we knew was going to be delayed. We were the only group (four of us) that were at the counter. I mean... this was one quiet airport. After a quick check-in we waited for my wife's wheelchair and made our way through the TSA checkpoint. My quickest security check ever. We noticed many stores (lots of bourbon here and it seems that everyone is on that bandwagon.) They also had one really robust store here with many brands, sizes, etc... I wound up buying some take home at the Churchill Downs Store but was a little set back on the pricing. $45.00 for hat??? A fairly quick walk to the gate and we sat a waited. Internet is really good here and I had no trouble viewing some live video. After waiting a bit we decided to stop by Chilis for a quick bite before the delayed plane left. You can see that they're doing a fir amount of construction here which is good since this airport could use a bit of a facelift.

This is a great little airport. It has many amenities such as restaurants and businesses but…read moredoesn't come off as congested. There is plenty of seating in the airport and my flights weren't at capacity to where we had to fight to get on the plane. I even noticed the TSA agents seemed to enjoy their job which is not the norm in other airports. They greeted you, smiled, made small talk, and chatted amongst themselves. It was refreshing to see and experience. The seating seemed a little primitive as I didn't observe a lot of electrical/charging capability. I had to put my coffee on the seat as I went off and left it with my wife given lack of tables. My wife looked for a lounge but didn't locate any. I'm not sure if that was the airport as a whole or specific to Chase/AmEx cardholders. My daughter who is stationed in Italy and came to visit was complaining about the US coffee and I observed an Illy Italian coffee machine by our gate which made her smile. Love this aiport.

My husband and I had meetings that ran over and managed to make it to the airport 10 minutes before boarding started for our flight. There was no wait and TSA was friendly and expedient in getting us through security (thanks pre-check!). This airport is always clean and with small terminals, it is easy to navigate. Best local airport!

Boarding was also easy - flights on time, boarding groups announced and moved through quickly. All of our flights were smooth and the attendants took excellent care of us with snacks and drinks. Luggage claim was well announced and we grabbed our bags quickly to head home.

The assigned seats have resulted in much slower boarding, first checked bags were initially charged at $35, just raised to $45, and overall prices have been skyrocketing. What used to be a stand out airline seems to be aspiring for the infamy of the spirit airline experience.

Bowman Field is such a neat tidbit of history -- one of the great treasures that makes Louisville…read morespecial. Established in 1919, it is one of the longest continuously operating, general aviation airports in the United States. And it makes me feel like I'm going back in time whenever I visit. I envision gals with finger-wave hairdos, cloche hats and low-waisted skirts and fellas in fedoras and bow ties with slicked back hair -- suitcases in hand -- waiting for flights. Family and friends of the travelers gather in the airport's large lobby. Seriously, if anyone is in need of a period setting for a movie, Bowman Field definitely fits the part. If you get a chance to visit, take some time to look at the photos that line the lobby's walls. I was particularly impressed with the photo of Eleanor Roosevelt when she visited the airport. And from the lobby you can look out onto parked planes and runways. They practically meet the building. Bistro La Relais, which is in the main building as well, provides visitors with a great food option.
