    Love a little mountain airport, but security is not always the smoothest. Today, only one TSA lane…read moreopen for standard and TSApre passengers, despite the busy festival weekend traffic. All of that aside, it is a quaint and clean establishment with helpful staff.

    NO FRILLS AIRPORT…read more Aspen Airport is quaint and small. You'll feel like you're in a time warp as soon as you walk off the plane, straight on to the tarmac. If you look around you'll spot numerous private planes nearby. Supposedly, commercial jets are not prioritized over private ones, but sometimes pilots have informed passengers that they cannot land and must reroute due to the high volume of private jet activity! This time, I was flying off-season, and we landed early. Follow the crowd to the Entrance of the wood cabin. Don't worry about which carousel will have your luggage - there are only two of them! Food and drink are not available when you arrive, so head straight out the door where you'll find some seating while you wait to be picked up. Or, ponder the sign directing you to rental cars, shuttles, etc. When you depart, you'll notice how cute the airport is. Forget about all those airport lounges you belong to - none of them are here. We sailed right through security to our gate. Yours won't be hard to find as there are less than a handful. Since a flight was delayed due to mechanical issues, the small waiting area was packed. There is only one dinky cafe, Jedediah's, and a tiny shop, so we forked over $18.16 for a hearty and tasty breakfast burrito before our early morning flight. Aspen is located in a narrow valley surrounded by mountains, which creates a steep and demanding approach, unpredictable high-altitude winds, and tricky terrain. As a result, it is one of the most challenging and dangerous ones to navigate in the United States, so pilots need special training. Plus, ASE has a relatively short runway, requiring specialized operating procedures. Landings and takeoffs can be especially difficult during snow season or when it's windy, so don't be surprised if you're flight is cancelled due to the weather! When things go smoothly, though, the LAX to ASE non-stop flight is short and quick. I would rather fly in and out of here than Grand Junction, and I refuse to make the 3-hour drive from Denver. So, ask yourself: are you feeling lucky?

    I was deployed to Gunnison County Airport. I met some really cool ppl here and it will be sad to…read moresay goodbye. I had an opportunity to go skiing for the first time but working in the airport seeing all those passengers coming thru with hard cast and arm in slings and crutches and wheelchairs. My mind was made up I wasn't going skiing on anyone trial. Gunnison is a really small county of 11,000 people. Everyone is very friendly and the town is really festive for the holiday's. The airport is very small and it has one restaurant Elevate Cafe. They serve a mean chilli and nachos, hot dogs, turkey, ham and roast beef sandwiches and subs. They also serve hot pretzels and its a nice cozy spot. The altitude in Gunnison, Colorado is 7703 and Crested Butte 8,909′. Those altitudes really had me with nose bleeds and some of my co workers had head aches. One of my co workers had to go to the hosp but he just needed oxygen and some rest. Hes fine. But the time I had here I truly loved but I can't do the altitudes. You have to make sure you drink anlot of wster and if your a smoker it will be extremely difficult. Side effects, The airport only has two lanes and 85 % of the time there will only be on lane open. It's very important to arrive to the airport 2 hours before your flight. Cresent Butte, Colorado is the main ski resort and they have some expert skiers it's exspensive but they have some excellent restaurants in Cresent Butte. My favorite restaurants were Ryce and Elk Ave Prime. Gunnison has some very good authentic mexican restaurants. a Alpine Brewery my fav for beer selection and delicious brick oven pizza. I have one more day here and a few of the local TSA officers came along for dinner to El Paraiso Family Mexican Restaurant. So when your in Gunnison please check out the cute town and all the little shops along with Cresent Butte for skiing and dinning. Yelper until my next foodie adventure #FOODIE4LIFE

    As this is a tiny airport that is shut during the winter and only operates during the summer…read moremonths, it rather feels like a glorified bus terminus. Yet, the employees at the desk and at TSA were professional while also helpful and jovial. It feels like the best of a small town atmosphere, where folks cannot hide behind anonymity so they pull their weight, do a good job and try not to get a reputation for letting their colleagues down. As far as I can tell, flights are only supported from Denver or Houston as connector hubs (for United Airlines). The airport only has a few vending machines, and barebones office chairs as 'waiting area'. Car rentals are available here. Please don't make the employees lives more difficult by showing up at the last minute, so allow the full hour ahead of a domestic flight in order for them to take your luggage. This might be the cutest little airport I have been to in the U.S.
