Flint Bishop International Airport reminds me a lot of the Myrtle Beach airport. It's very simple: Two stories, an elevator and an escalator. The airport is currently being remodeled, so it's a work in progress. Let me start by saying that while at the Las Vegas Harry Reid airport I had to clean my own toilet before using it, here the first floor bathroom sparkled and was quite nice. No chipped gross mirrors here. I'm looking at you, Harry Reid. I'm giving 4 stars because all of the eateries were closed. If you have arrivals and departures, they should be open. You want to provide an exceptional customer experience right? Then you need to be open. Staff was present and friendly. The elevator worked well and was clean. The escalator was working fine. I didn't take it because of luggage. Although there was construction, I didn't feel hindered in any way. Passenger pick up was convenient and you could load right at the front doors. In all, it's a nice little airport! read more

I'm originally from the Detroit area, and lived in Chicago about 9 years. Coming home to visit family back and forth throughout the years, I learned some ways. I did Megabus. I did Amtrak. I flew. Did all the things! The Detroit airport is about 25 minutes from my parents house and the Flint airport is about 50 minutes from my parents house. Flint airport, over the years, became my go to as: 1) soooo much cheaper. 2) soooo much cleaner. 3) soooo less of people. Win win win. Love this airport forever, even though I'll likely never step foot in it again. Wins my vote! read more

Bishop International Airport - Best gate - Airports Near Me - Flint, Michigan

This was my first experience here, as I usually fly out of DTW. This was an easy drive. The airport was nice. Everything was a pleasant experience start to finish. We'll be back again ! Parking was affordable and staff was helpful ! read more

Wow. How under-enthused it was driving in front of the airport, and through the airport drive to the front. The grounds are totally unkempt, HUGE masses of weeds in almost every bed, except the very front beds by pull up and drop off. When thinking about using a hometown airport, this is QUITE embarrassing to see, to drive family through, and to visit. There are flat dirt beds with weed masses, as well as tree and flower beds with weed masses. It is very underwhelming to say the r least. Bishop Airport, you need to do better for your airport if you actually want to take PRIDE in your airport. As of right now, it's not pleasing to the eye for those who use it regularly, visit often, or have family and friends fly in. read more

It's a little tense here with a United Airlines flight delay but I must hand it to our gate agent Joy! She's managing it with a smile even with some vocal passengers. Thank you Joy for making our United Airlines experience, and first time in Flint, a positive one! read more

Bishop International Airport - Plane we can't board waiting at the gate, our luggage, and our United Airlines gate agent - Airports Near Me - Flint, Michigan

I've used this airport many times in the past. It's a smaller airport yet it still has the basic amenities. It's easy to maneuver. Security seems to have their function down, thus travelers clear the line quickly. read more

Such a clean and pretty airport. Professional and friendly staff. This is such a nice experience compared to the overly congested hub airports. Road signage for the airport entrance could be a little better, but easy to find nonetheless. read more

I'm an 87 year old woman and was flying to Texas on December 17th. The ticket taker was an extremely nice young man.His name was AVANTE ALEXANDER. He went above and beyond his duties. He got me a wheel chair and took care of me until I was through security . He even walked and talked to me all the way to my gate, All of your employees are very helpful but AVANTE ALEXANDER IS A VERY SPECIAL YOUNG MAN IN MY BOOK and I feel that his supervisors should know what a great employee that they have representing Bishop International Airport, Donna Machleit read more

It's such a small personal In and out airport! However I hate that at security you have to dump your water out (as usual) but I'm in the city of flint so I'm not able to fill my water bottle back up, so it forces me to spend money on a water bottle. Wouldn't it be nifty if they did some sort of coupon for a water bottle once you got thru? Or a free water bottle after security. read more

Bishop International Airport - Flint Bishop Airport - Airports Near Me - Flint, Michigan

Quick, easy, and efficient from the economy parking lot to security to the gate. Well worth any extra driving time compared to DTW.

I've always heard how great this airport is, and I finally had the chance to experience it myself. In a nutshell, it's awesome! Small, friendly staff, easy drive in - just all around a better experience. Highly recommend - if pay extra to out of this airport. read more

Everything! The return flight was the smoothest landing I've ever experienced! I now prefer it over Metropolitan.

For years I have stated that I would rather fly out of or into Bishop than any other airport I have used anywhere in the world. But! They really destroyed my opinion of the airport services when I arrived one evening and waited for almost 2 hrs for my luggage to come out on the carrousel. It finally came out and was crushed with the hard shell ripped open and my contents coming out of the luggage. The hard sided shell was crushed, ripped open and the closures completely ruptured. There was no staff of any kind in the airport except 1 skycap we saw briefly and then he was gone. There was a police presence outside the building directing traffic and I am not exaggerating, NOBODY else in the entire airport except the passengers. Came back the next day and Allegiant staff said they could do nothing as we didn't report the damage the night before...THERE WAS NO STAFF WHATSOEVER THE NIGHT BEFORE! They gave us a phone number to call but Allegiant is another issue. They refuse to consider our claim stating "you overpacked the suitcase". But back to Bishop airport. 1.) No staff on arrival 2.) Emailed them 3 times over a couple of weeks seeking possible assistance/guidance re the luggage issue (they guarantee a response within 24 hrs.) No response ever. Very disappointed and I certainly can't hold the airport in high esteem any longer. read more

Much smaller airport and terminal than Detroit Metropolitan airport. Depending on where you live or are driving from, can be much less of a drive than the 15th busiest airport ( DTW). Easy-breezy to drop off and or pick up anyone traveling from this airport. read more

Avoid this airport if you can. The airline counters close 45 minutes before the flight, so you'll have to be there at least an hour prior, while the flight to Chicago takes 45 minutes. It's a policy that no other airport in the world has. read more

As usual a great little hometown airport! A breeze to get and to get out. There is only two places to eat, I believe, but how many do you need with a handful of gates. I love the comfy couches you can lounge on while waiting...super cute! read more

It had been a while since I had stepped inside Flint Bishop Airport. I must say that I was quite impressed as the renovations undertaken a few years ago have really spruced the place up. The terminal common area now sports a very nice look with the high ceiling giving a marvelous spacious feel. The check-in areas are easily accessible and the baggage claim and rental cars are just down the hall. FNT is the third busiest airport in Michigan servicing around 1 million passengers per year give-or-take. There are six airlines that use this facility with a handful of direct destinations (seven at last count). There is plenty of parking in front making it easy to get there and get away. The location near I-75 is ideal. In general, I love small airports and this one is extremely easy to navigate. The trade-off is that you will have to connect nearly anywhere you want to go. But I'll take that trade-off in exchange for user-friendliness anytime. read more

The small city Airport. 8 to 10 gates, small operation, intimate airport. You can literally throw a ball across the concourse. No, this isn't your mega giant hub, it's your small city destination. It's a fairly new airport and it's like a mini me of the DTW airport. Been recently renovated, it still has the nice fresh new airport smell to it. Size wise, it's not very overwhelming. So there's no excuse about missing your flight by going to the wrong concourse. Anyways, just like any airport. Your only real responsibility is to make it here as early as possible. The TSA, ticket agents, and airline employees didn't wake up this morning to make it harder for you to fly just because you decided to do this. Trust me, it's totally better than driving. Let's go somewhere,, and this is where your trip begins and ends. Have a nice day guys!! read more

Bishop International Airport - (",) - Airports Near Me - Flint, Michigan

I consider it more of a service station - you don't get much, just the bare necessities. It is a very, very small airport, however, it has its perks (as noted by Charley B. so I won't repeat them here - go Charley!). I can't say how good the food is though because I've never eaten at JJ's (located on the second level). Maybe next time I will give it a try. I guess I don't have any complaints. Go Bishop! You make me proud. read more

There is a lot to like about FNT. The location, the ease of entry/exit. Few passengers. It is just low stress, low pressure. It is obviously small, but it does not pretend to be anything other than what it is: a nice, regional airport. It works and it's easy. I would even go so far as to say five stars, but I think the amenities (gift shop, Rochester Mills Brewery place) are always closed. Are they even in business? That aside, totally recommend FNT if you can find the flights you need. read more

Love flying out of bishop! It's small and not crowded. Prefer this over DTW!!! Recommend to all.

Flight Bishop Airport is easy to navigate, has a smaller scale and less people than larger airports, making flying less stressful and enjoyable. Clean facilities and easy to find ticket counters and gates quickly read more

My favorite airport it's close to home very convenient the staff is always friendly. It is truly the smart way to fly

This is a small town airport done right. This is what I like: * Easy to find and get to * Easy to get through security * Well spaced where people aren't crowded and on top of each other * Plenty of seating * Super clean bathrooms * A place for friends or family to wait on the other side of security while you arrive * FREE WIFI (yes I'm shouting) * A small commuter parking lot where your ride can wait for you to call them after you arrive * Good food This is what I don't like: * I can't really think of anything bad. I love flying in here when I come to visit family. read more

Wow, what a great airport. Visited a customer in the area and decided to fly into FNT rather than my usual DTW. Arrived from ATL, and even though it was snowing and very cold, came in right on schedule. This is a small airport so the taxi from the runway to the gate took about 3 mins. Went to the rental car counter and was pleased the cars were right outside the terminal, no bus to take as we do at the larger airports. Return trip was just as easy. It was only about 4 degrees so dropping the rental car at the front door was a plus. Homeland Security people were very helpful and pleasant. Very efficient security process. No Pre-TSA line, but when they say Pre-TSA on my boarding pass they let me go through the metal detector with shoes on rather than the full body scanner. Lots of nice shops and food facilities past security. Everything looked very clean and new. This place beats the larger DTW and will get my business whenever the flight schedules support my meeting requirements. Nice job FNT! read more

Bishop International Airport - Samuel Adams Bar at FNT. - Airports Near Me - Flint, Michigan

World's best airport? I think so. You can either park next to the gate or across the street for whooping $6/day.The cheap parking lot has fantastic shuttle drivers who do not let you lift your own bag. They also play solid tunes and have good stories for the 2 minute ride across the street. Once in the airport, you walk a couple of feet, and you are at security. If you are meeting a friend, there is a nice lounge area filled with comfortable couches. Before your flight, there is Caribou coffee and Sam Adams pub where the Bloody Marys are only $10 (cheap for airport). In fact, you can sit at the bar until they call your zone if you are at Gate 6. How convenient! read more

As far as airports go, this tiny International airport in Flint, MI is A-OK in my book. You never have to walk too far to get where you're going, and the rental cars are located just outside the airport. Security lines are a relative breeze, compared to places like O'Hare and Hartsfield-Jackson, and the free Wi-Fi is definitely appreciated. I even scored a Flint, MI baseball cap for a friend for only $5. read more

Nice small airport that is efficient. I have not been here for years and boy has it changed! It was bright, clean, and fast in and out. I had a direct flight from MSP which makes this airport convenient for more northern appointments. I did not have to wait for my luggage as it was out on the belt as I was walking down the stairs. The bathrooms were clean too. The rental cars are out the door and to the right. read more

Pretty great customer service in the airport until you get to the bar where the worker was rude and more focused on closing down the bar than being actually nice to someone walking up for a quick drink or bite. I witnessed 5 people altogether who wanted service and I assume got the same terrible attitude. Sure that every customer in the airport would have wanted a drink before they travel and we were all shut down! Airport staff great! Once I approached the restaurant = reasons to fly out of Detroit now. Hopefully someone reads this that could understand that even tho you have 5-10 people wanting to have some food and drink will still lead to about .70 on the Dollar for service and maybe an extra $50 in tips for 30 minutes worth of work... I'd stay open. read more

So we usually fly into Detroit Metro when visiting Michigan but this time flew into Flint Bishop airport. It is a smaller airport with only 1 terminal and 15 gates so a lot less crowded.

This really is a top notch regional airport. It is clean, with plenty of places to sit, snack/drink options on both sides of security, a large greeting area for arrivals, plenty of parking, immediately adjacent rental car lot and short lines: for TSA and check-in. Everyone is generally nice, the atmosphere is laid back and there is free wifi. The only downside is that if a flight were to be cancelled, there are few options to reroute, which is understandable as schedule are a dictated by demand. read more

Janie at the convienience counter before security is the kindest, sweetest woman ever! I had the blessing of cheating with her for nearly an hour prior to my flight. She was so helpful and kind to everyone who stopped by. I would fly again from here just to see her. read more

What a great airport. It's smaller and schedule is not as convenient as metro, but everything else is quicker. From quick parking, fast check In, and quick walk to the terminal. I always fly outta flint whenever I can. What's nice is not having to take a shuttle, saves allot of time. I'd have to put this place on flints top 10 list. read more

Not a bad little airport. Very basic. 6 or 7 airlines. A bar. A burger joint. Easy parking. Pleasant service all throughout.

VIEW PICTURE AT THE END.....this is what I was welcome with in Bishop airport Flint Michigan Sunday September 27th 2020 as you can see she's not wearing a mask shield or gloves the protective shield is off to the left side not in front of her and behind her is a construction hat with a Confederate flag sticker in plain view site for all to see including customers as myself and all of the employees at Alamo Car Rental Enterprise Car Rental Thrifty Car Rental and Hertz Car Rental ..not one employee stopped to consider how someone may feel if they saw that hat.. no1 removed it...reminds me of the officers who stood by and watched George Floyd get killed with that knee in his neck..https://photos.app.goo.gl/eBcgsPpj4qNW1pzx9 read more

Bishop International Airport - This is how I was welcomed... look closely at hat in the background - Airports Near Me - Flint, Michigan

I'm always willing, if possible, to fly out of Flint rather than Metro. Always a clean, pleasant, and trouble-free experience. From checking in to going through security and waiting to board, Bishop is the most peaceful and least hectic place from which to fly. The only issues I've ever had (which haven't lowered my opinion whatsoever) were a rude clerk at the Delta lane (I was the only one there -- always early for my flights) who in his haste to get me out of the way, gave me a boarding pass for someone else and clearing security with the same incorrect boarding pass, where I was the only one in line and I was cleared through without issue, even though the agent looked at my ID and pass. I only discovered the mistake when I was checking to find my gate. The clerk at the gate helped me, but was as shocked as I was at "How'd you get through security!?" I tell you all of that only as a reminder to check your boarding pass before leaving check-in. But all-in-all, I always look forward to flying out from, and flying in to, Bishop. read more
