    I wish Bakersfield had an airport with more airlines and amenities, but it's fine for what it is. Sometimes you can decent prices on flights.

    Having an airport in Bakersfield is great and convenient! It was so easy to get there and know where to go because of the signs. In front of the entrance are only for taxis and drop offs but I didn't see any security personal out front and there were a few cars just parked and waiting to pick up their family/friend. Maybe because to park in the short term parking you have to insert a credit card. Although the first 15 minutes are free, im sure people don't want to go through that hassle. Maybe if there were airport lounges, people would park and relax inside.

    The vibe to this airport is very "Tom Nevers Field" (Wings tv show) and I say this as a compliment. The staff is very warm and sincere. Everything is tidy and well-organized. I used to use the airport bus to take me to LAX to then fly me out to JFK regularly. Which was taxing, to say the least and pricey. I hate driving so when the airport bus transport became unavailable, I had to drive the two plus hours and pay additional for long-term parking, which is an added expense. Initially, the airfare at MFA was very expensive and I can understand why--small airport, few airlines, convenient. But I will say that the prices are now pretty reasonable, if you book in advance. I have been traveling from MFA pretty consistently for the past five years, although I have forgotten to check in. Last January, I left my pocketbook-wallet in the seat receptacle in the plane upon exiting the plane and the airport staff held it for me to retrieve it and everything--my ID, a large amount of cash, cards--was all intact. That is really commendable. Going back to my opening statement, given the small-town atmosphere of MFA, you're never sure if you'll run into someone you know and I always do and have!

    I don't about you but I love going to airport that's not over crowded. When I got there there was a line but not to bad. I thought if I take the earliest flight be less crowded, however during that time it's busy . When I check in they ask if I was by myself and I said yes , come to find out they ended up bumping to aisle seating which is lots of foot room , They random pick single passenger to be in the aisle to assist if there's an emergency, that was awesome. My coming home flight , there was no one at the airport and that time was 3pm Rush hrs are usually early mornings and after 2pm no one is there. Everyone was nice and it was easy.

    First time flying out of this airport! I normally go down to LA for LAX but I thought this time I'd try out BFL and it was a great experience! Flight was at 9am and I was able to leave my house at 8am, go through TSA, and be seated at my gate already. Love that this airport doesn't have high foot traffic, I was able to get through really quickly! Very clean airport and very very friendly staff :'). I read the yelp reviews of BFL prior to my flight and they were so so true. The staff seemed happy to be there and help and guide us through. The nicest workers I've ever experienced.

    It's a nice little airport not really anything bad to say about it. The bathrooms were super clean. They could use a little more stores.

I can sit at and write or eat something or play a game with someone who is with me instead of having to focus on traffic and being uncomfortable about not being able to change my seating posture for a long trip. I like the fact that I can go get a snack whenever I want to, and start up a conversation with a stranger and to make a new friend. That's what I think you want to hear when you want a review, but I want to tell you another special thing about why I love Amtrak. The sound of the train is something I have loved and that has comforted me from the first time I ever heard it when I was a child, until I bought my first house and discovered that there was a train track right on the other side of a fence that was 8 feet from my house. I learned later that the realtors were supposed to tell you that, but I was young and dumb. I had no idea of that. I was a newlywed and that happened the first night we slept there. It rattled the ground and knocked pictures and clocks off of the walls and terrified my husband and I, thinking it was an earthquake, until we heard the horn. Then we looked at each other and laughed and responded that same way as long as we lived in that house. I missed it for the longest time until many many years later I moved into a senior mobile home park that was nearby a train track, and I was thrilled to hear a train the first night I spent there. I was there five years and smiled every time I heard that that and felt my walls rattle. Between those two experiences, I had a Red Hat Society group for 12 years and we used to take the Amtrak train from Bakersfield to Hanford and spend the day there at different events they put on in the Civic Park, and then Fred the antique fire truck would pick us up and drop us back off at the train station and we would have fun riding home sharing the rolling adventures we had had that day. But the trips there and back themselves were also very fun because there were a few very sweet conductors who played with us and let us take pictures of them with us, and even tried on our hats and let them take pictures of them with us, and that kind of thing. We were a very silly and fun-loving group and we loved that! That's been many many years ago and I wish I could find those pictures...

Not sure if anything is missing until we get home and check. I was told by staff that none of this damage is covered. Only if the suitcase cracked or had a hole. You can clearly see this suitcase was thrown around more than is normal. I was told that's just the cost of travel and that I should take a hairdryer and try to take the dent out myself and repair the zipper because as long as it's usable it's not covered and zippers are not covered either. This was an almost new good quality set and it would not look like that unless it was mishandled. ​​​Staff was completely non chalant about it, no apology, pretty much borderline mocking me for even thinking they should be responsible and seemed inconvenienced by filing a claim for me saying it's just a waste of time because it will be denied. They did say if we find anything missing when we get home we could call the claim number but did not say if it would be covered. I did not want to open the bag completely there because the zipper was broken and barely holding in the stuff and it would be difficult to get it to the car if we couldn't get it zippered back up. Aweful treatment of luggage, poor customer service, very uncaring and not supportive at all. Will not fly with them again. ​
