    Easy check-in. Helpful flight attendants. Rental car section was also a breeze to check in, get your car and return.

    Jackson airport is receiving $24M in grant money this year and looks like changes are happening already. They are building a new Dunkin donuts in the main check in area. JAN doesn't have any food option outside the gate for at least 5 years now so the Dunkin donuts will be nice for traveller. Waiting time in JAN always been short, check in time is short because there are usually not a lot of people. Latest I check in is like 30mins before departure, no that I recommend being that late and holiday travel might have longer wait time but usually check in and TSA is pretty quick.

    This is a sign at baggage claim with the official name of the airport.

    This airport isn't like Atlanta. It shut down early, leaving the customer's with flight delays scrambling to find rental cars or Uber due to the rental car business we're closed when we arrived after midnight. Uber were 20-30 mins away, and for customer's who waited in Atlanta for over 3hrs to land here was concerning. I can't give much of a review this time.

    I'll keep this short and sweet: 5 stars for the 4-minute, TSA to gate experience I just had! I live for a tiny airport that gets me in and off to my next destination in no time flat. Give me that and you can keep all the bells and whistles. I mean, what's not to love? Clean restrooms, plenty of seats for the small demand, and just overall, easy peasy. Cheers to JAN!

    What a depressing airport! Sunday at 5 pm should be a busy time for an airport, but this place is dead! There were more employees than passengers, and yet nothing was open. They even closed the Hudson News!! The only "restaurant" was a Samuel Adams Brewhouse." I decided on a salad - bad choice. It came out in a styrofoam leftover container with a plastic fork. I'm pretty sure I am the only one that has ever ordered the salad. It smelled off and some of the lettuce was rotten. I choked down what I could since I highly doubted that they would take it back. Did I mention it was $14.50 for this abomination. Do yourself a favor and eat beforehand. Arrive only 30 minutes before your flight. Trust me, you don't want to hang around here.

    Great smaller airport making arrival and departure a breeze! Easy to get to the gate and easy to get to baggage. Only downside is that if your flight is delayed most of the food and beverage concessions are closed so you can be sitting for awhile dreaming of Starbucks- but other than that the staff and personnel are helpful and friendly. I recommend this airport.

    If you're vegan there's nothing here for you except tator tots. Definitely could use more food options here.

    Small town (although it is the state capitol) small airport, southern vibe with slow feel to it.

    5 stars for TSA? YES....5 STARS FOR THIS TSA!…read more Boarding my flight home in Jackson is always super nice. Granted, there aren't many food options, but there are also never any lines, the process is super fast and for the most part all of the TSA agents are friendly. On my last trip to Jackson I left my FitBit as I went through the checkpoint. I didn't realize this until I got to my connection in Atlanta - when I went to check how many steps I had to compare a before/after walking the ATL airport. GONE! Nothing on my wrist. "CRAP", I thought, "I'll never see it again!" -- I called the airport immidiatly and was connected to TSA. "Oh, yes, we have it! Call this number.....I'm taking it to the office right now". I couldn't beleive it was still there. Someone actually turned it in? I couldn't picture that happening back at my home airport(s)....but this is Mississippi....the folks are nice. VERY NICE. This review NEEDS to mention Mr. Grover. If anyone in a position of management is reading this, please know that having folks like Mr. Grover on your team is a huge win. First off, he was super nice over the phone and via email. After I checked in to see if there was an update on the shipping, he mentioned it was a holiday and that since they weren't picking up, he would go drop it off on his way home. WHAT?! That's above and beyond the call of duty. And so very much appreciated. JXN TSA, you guys are good in my book. I'll never huff and puff when I have to take off my belt and put my computer in a separate bin. You guys have won me over with your honesty, caring and excellent service.
