ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! Do not fly with CONTOUR AIRLINES! I've flown with this airline twice, the…read morefirst time there was a maintenance delay, which resulted in us sitting in the airport for 10 HOURS! I missed my connecting flight and I had to buy a hotel room for the evening because there were no more flights available. After spending $500 booking a new flight and a hotel room, I called customer service to see if I could be reimbursed... long story short, no, I couldn't because I didn't book my connecting flight through them. Fast forward 2 weeks (Now), I have a flight home for Christmas through Contour airlines. I just received a text message stating that there's ANOTHER DELAY, which is causing the same issue all over again! SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY and just take the train. This airline is unreliable and you will be inconvenienced just like me.

My first experience went extremely well. The airport is tiny without food options. But they have…read morevending machines and restrooms. The workers are super nice. TSA is super fast and they were very pleasant to talk too. They will measure your baggage and ask your weight for safety reasons. It's a tiny plane. Pretend like your have a private plane lol cuz it's super slow. I like how Veterans Airport of Southern Illinois honor veterans with artifacts. You need to make sure you are here by boarding time. There is ample parking space and it is free. Baggage: the connecting flight was different and somewhat difficult. If you are doing a connecting flight and can not get 2 hours between them it may be less of a hassle to bring a book bag only. I was closed to not making it but I did thankfully! I would recommend but be mindful. We had to take a shuttle and that took more time as well.

Perryville Regional Airport has a nice, 4000 foot runway that is pretty bumpy at the end near the…read moreFBO. They have 2 courtesy cars (when working) that are easy to use to get to the numerous restaurants in Perryville and in Chester across the river. Al's Diner is nearby and is a great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The FBO is nice with clean bathrooms, shower, recliners, water and coffee. Greg G has kept it well stocked with snacks and soda for a small price. Fuel is competitively priced. The only caution is the airport manager is not pleasant, and will not help you if you have a problem. She seems to only care about business from the Weststar company on the other side of the airport. She has refused to allow transients into empty hangers in bad weather, claimed to not have a key to the tenant hanger when one forgot his key, hidden the courtesy car keys to prevent certain people from using the car, refused to let the tug be used to move disabled aircraft, refused to allow emergency repair work to be done on aircraft, and then apparently notified the FAA when the aircraft had to be flown to another airport. When we have tried to bring flight students in for a week of training that needed hotels and would be spending money in the community, she told them to their face that she did not care and caused them to go elsewhere. It is a nice airport, a great community and a good place to stop on the weekend when the airport manager is not present.

Holy cow, I am never flying out of Lambert again! This airport is SO easy to navigate. Parking is…read moreinexpensive and plentiful. There are only a couple of gates, so the security line moves very quickly and there's usually only 1 or 2 flights leaving around the same time, so there's like 100 people at the airport total! We flew out and back for the holidays and our stress level was next to nothing. (Which, if you know us, is like, amazing.) I'm from a small western city and am used to these smaller places that have only the basics and get the job done. Not every place needs to be Minneapolis. (IYKYK) But if you've never been to an airport like this, it might elicit a giggle or at least a smile because of its size. That said, it's updated and clean and bright. Plenty of stalls in the ladies room (go to the left! There's more stalls over there!) So easy, so clean and simple. I liked it a lot more than the hustle over at Lambert. Downsides: not much to eat or browse, but it's not nothing. There's a small magazine/snack/gum store. There's no Starbucks or other name-brands, but there is a nice little cafe and a good staff making hot breakfast sandwiches or grilled cheeses or lattes. But c'mon, if you're flying a discount airline are you really concerned about the brand of coffee? Anyway, 4 shiny stars.

You don't have to wait long for your bags however they have what I think are public security guards of some sort in the front of the building or absolutely exercising authority, acting like police, being rude, unkind with people who are outside pulling up to pick up passengers. I understand it needs to keep moving however, you don't have to be rude, nasty or unkind or think you're a policeman of some sort. Also, the airport could use some kind of bus to take passengers to the parking lot. This would benefit, especially those with small children or the elderly. Of course they could charge for the service since we all know that one thing Allegiant is known for is the nickel and diming for every little thing. I think people would pay for a bus to take them to their car though.

Flying out of Barkley Regional Airport kind of feels like being in on a really great secret. It's…read moreso tiny, I'm 80% sure the person who checks your ID at TSA could moonlight as your flight attendant... and honestly, I wouldn't even be mad about it. It's tucked right off the main road in Paducah, which makes it super convenient to grab a bite before or after your flight. Bonus points for being stress-free from the moment you park to the moment you board. The bag check process? A breeze. TSA? Practically a polite wave through a high-tech bag scanner (they even have the fancy new machines). And every single employee I interacted with was genuinely kind and helpful--like, Southern hospitality in airport form. Now let's talk about the gate area. Sure, there are only two gates (and let's be real, only one seems to be in action at a time), but the seating situation? Chef's kiss. You've got your standard airport rows with outlets, Jetsons-style lounge chairs, pods with privacy dividers perfect for pulling out a laptop, and even a four-seat square setup with space to stretch out. Need to perch up high? There's a high-top table too. It's basically the WeWork of tiny airports. There's also a small vending area with a few snacks and drinks--nothing to write home about or hold your breath for, but it'll hold you over in a pinch. And shout out to the bathrooms: super clean, well-stocked, and clearly cared for. Barkley may be bite-sized, but it punches way above its weight class. If every airport ran this smoothly, flying would feel a lot more like teleporting.

You'll also find international flights with Air Canada. But this airport is the *other* airport, CPS. The Saint Louis Downtown Airport is located less than three miles from the Gateway Arch and is used by business and charter aircraft visiting the city. There is no scheduled commercial service since the 1980s when Air Midwest flew from here to Chicago Midway and Kansas City. You won't find the big passenger jets other than the Saint Louis Cardinals charter jet. But executive jets and propellers and helicopters here should keep you interested. I found a good spot near the end of the runway next to the closed Air and Space Museum https://www.yelp.com/biz/greater-st-louis-air-and-space-museum-cahokia?hrid=Ybf_bMdi8TWg9VBSSqhh1Q where I was undisturbed and watched some aircraft movements for a bit.
