This little airport actually has a big place in aviation history. North Platte Landing Field was…read morethe first lighted airfield in the United States. It's also the site of the first night airmail flight in 1921. Thankfully things have been upgraded since those days of burning fuel barrels and grass landing strips. There's one baggage claim so it's easy to find your stuff, there's a little place to grab a bite called the Lincoln Highway Diner, and there are several historical displays around the terminal that are super interesting to read. If you're in a plane that's landing or taking off in this part of Nebraska you should definitely check this place out!

If I could give a negative rating I would. I flew in from Denver to pick up my grandkids, then turn…read morearound and fly back. Easy enough right? Wrong! My flight from Denver was delayed due to sick pilot. We got into NP around 7:20. I get off the plane and go inside to get my grandkids so we can fly back. I can't find anyone, not my grandkids, the booking agent or TSA. I called my granddaughter and she said they were rushed through TSA against their will and waiting on the other side of the door. They begged the TSA agent and the SkyWest "supervisor" to let them wait for me, but they wouldn't let them because "TSA leaves at 7:30". So airport staff forced my minor grandkids through TSA against their will just so they could leave. I finally see the Skywest supervisor and ask him how I'm supposed to get back to Denver without TSA, he told me "you're not" He told me that I would have to rebook the flight. I asked why TSA couldn't wait knowing our inbound flight was delayed and they could clearly see I was doing a turn around flight. The supervisor offered no help nor assistance. He claims he tried calling the TSA agents to come back, I don't think he did. He said to blame our federal government. He did say I could sleep at the airport. Such a kind offer after they were the ones who put me in this predicament. After pressing the, they admitted they knew of my turn around flight plans because they told me they were going to catch me before I got off the plane so I wouldn't have to go through TSA since they already left! Yeah, how did that work out? They were more concerned about shifting blame then helping rectify their mistake. They offered no hotel voucher, no meal voucher no rental car nothing, like any other airport does when they make mistakes! The security guy called Justin G., the airport manager and he blew me off as well. Nice customer service Justin! The unprofessionalism and lack of personal accountability at this airport is staggering! I just wasted hundreds of dollars in a matter of minutes because TSA went home and management couldn't be bothered to ask them to finish the job. I filed a formal complaint with TSA immediately following the incident involving policy violations against minor children and surprisingly I have already received a phone call from a TSA representative the very next day. For those folks that were mentioned, DO BETTER!

Love this airport! The local TSA agents happen to love cheese too so that's a bonus. Everyone…read moreshould fly through McCook International!
