    Welcome to TN
    Jessica S.

    So far, so good. We arrived late on a Thursday night, when the airport was fairly empty. It was easy to navigate - the place is quite tiny - and before we knew it, we were at baggage claim. They only had two carousels, which blew my mind. Our bags came out quickly once the (insanely loud) alarm went off to let us know the machine was going to start moving. From baggage claim we backtracked to the National Care rental counter and waited a bit of time for the lone sales rep to free up to help us. She was pleasant and helpful, and quick. This was, of course, our arrival experience. I'll update here if the departure experience is any different or if anything untoward happens once we head back home.

    Very small inside

    Very small airport serving the northern, I-81 portion of Tennessee and the southwest portion of Virginia. Only a quick 20 minute ride from Bristol, VA/TN and about 30 mins from Abingdon. Service from all those I encountered was friendly. The only issue is the poor signage when coming off of I-81 and needing to know where to go/turn to get to the airport and then to rental car return. Once on the airport property, it's easy to find where to return the car. Overall, not a bad airport for a very small, regional airport.

    A clean and easy to navigate regional airport.  A great choice when visiting Northern Tennessee.

    Venture through the Tri-Cities airport on a work trip and found it to be easily navigable and quite clean. A bit of a wait for a Lyft, but overall a nice travel experience.

    Convenient soap, water and drying WITH UV light, all in one. AND the motion sensors WORK every time! No waving for product.

    The staff at the AA gates are very helpful. The staff at the little gift store was very friendly! The bathroom sinks are sooo modern!! These should be in every public bathroom. Everywhere. Love them!

    It's so small yet easily accessible and navigational. I don't particularly like the fact that it's so small for a couple of reasons: 1. The car rental option requires you to stop at the counter to get your bulky paper contract and walk out to get the car. Upon return you have to write down the miles, gas info, etc.. and bring it back to a counter to wait for it to be entered and a new bulky white receipt is printed out (So Ancient in processes). 2. The gates are all together there are only 4 - 5 gates in a small section. There are some Pros 1. Due to this place being so small, the security line is non existent 2. They do have TSA Pre-Check = SCORE 3. Flights usually are ontime (they don't have much to do) It's where I had to fly in and out of for months for business so it was an experience overall. I must say the staff are all friendly and easy going so it makes the experience that much more easy.

    This is small and convenient and keeps you from having to go through Knox or Atlanta etc to get started.

I reached out to Johnny with a full afternoon itinerary that would take us around to 3 wineries in the region. Johnny pulled up at 11:30 on the DOT, his car was spotless, and he was so personable. He's born and raised in the area and had a lot of great stories to share with us on our 30 minute ride down to the vineyards. On a whim, we realized that we were passing by the woodshop of our family friends and we asked if he would mind pulling into the driveway to see if he was home, he didn't even flinch as we pulled up the gravel driveway to the little cottage-like home that was quite the deviation from the plan to the winery. To say he is flexible and accommodating would be an understatement. We are only in the area once, maybe twice a year, but my family is already floating his business card and information around their development because of how great his service is. If you're in the Asheville/Hendersonville area and need local transportation 11/10, Johnny is your guy.

I needed to get her to a bus station over an hour away from her location so she could make it back home to California. I first tried the usual ride hailing apps but found them to be unpredictable in fulfilling rides from that remote location which concerned me due to the necessity to be on schedule to make connections. I then turned to Yelp and used the "request quote" option to put the ride details out for bid. With a stroke of luck, Carolina Penn Transportation's owners Darrell & Tricia messaged me and offered a very competitive bid definitely inline with the competition. Darrell, in particular, stayed especially communicative throughout the process which gave me assurance. When the departure date arrived, Darrell again confirmed in the morning and his amazing driver, Tommy, arrived a half hour early in a very nice SUV so he could confirm the pickup location. Once confirmed, he moved to wait offsite stating to take your time and call him when ready. The ride was smooth and safe and upon arrival at the destination Tommy ensured my family member had all she needed and ensured her safety which I truly appreciated. I can't recommend this business enough and would recommend anyone who needs professional, reliable and family friendly transportation to give them a try! Thanks again Darrell and Tommy!
