Grand Rapids, you've got a cute airport!…read more There's so many windows in this airport and, even better, there's SO MANY seats to enjoy them from. High top seating, seating with tables, desk like seating, armchair and sofa like seating, swivel executive chairs... truly something for everyone. Loved the (very green) children's play area! Loved that there was a Sensory Room to support travelers sensitive to stimulants (and airports is anything more overwhelming then an airport?). From the website: "The Sensory Room is intended to provide a therapeutic setting that helps individuals feel comfortable in their surroundings. The space is designed to minimize overstimulation and provide a calm and inclusive environment for individuals of all ages with cognitive and/or development disabilities." Loved the not one, not two, but THREE Farmers Fridges. GRR doesn't have many vegan options, so having these reliable vending machines changes everything. If one is out of what you're looking for (like the Napa Chickpea Wrap which is my faaaaaaaasve), try the other fridges! Because... The airport is super walkable! Comprised of Concourse A and Concourse B, with just fourteen gates, you can explore the whole thing in a half hour or so. Also, for such a small airport, there are SO MANY BATHROOMS. Never a wait anywhere for a bathroom or a water bottle refill station. All in all, this was a pleasant airport to fly in/fly out of!

This is an unprecedented 5 star airport rating from me. I have noticed, from prior reviews, that my…read morelong history with airports trends negative. GRR was just really pleasant. It was extremely clean, not overly crowded, easy to navigate, helpful staffers and really good local Madcap coffee. The rental car terminal is right across from main terminal and very easy to get in and out of. It is also less expensive than flying in/out of Traverse City. Tip: If you have time while in Grand Rapids, check out Frederik Meijer Gardens. It is only about 20 mins from the airport.

Not the tiniest aircraft by a medium-sized chalk. For you folks who are having problems with your flight, did you buy the insurance? Did you purchase your ticket with a credit card that has trip interruption coverage? Yeah, well do that next time and you'll have a lot less headache. And when you do have a problem, don't just stand in line. Call Delta 800-221-1212 while you're standing in line so that when you do get through to someone, they can help you just as much as the folks here in the airport! Luggage arrived swiftly at baggage claim. Checking baggage for my return was also easy with a polite agent at the ticket counter and a dedicated queue for Sky Priority. Boarding was done the proper way, though I did notice that one agent let the First Class and Diamonds go before the active duty military. It's supposed to be "pre-boarding" of people needing assistance, then active duty military, then first class and Diamonds, then parents with small children, then Sky Priority.

The agents at the desk were friendly and helpful. The process to board was seem less. The boarding passes were scanned in a rapid fire process. So much so the jetway backed and she had to slow her roll. We were greeted as we boarded the plane with early morning pleasantries and smiles. Our leg was a short segment from Grand Rapids to Chicago midway. As a result no inflight service was done.

American Airlines operates their American Eagle brand out of Gerald R. Ford International Airport…read more They only have one small ticket counter in the far right hand side of the main terminal. I had a flight out of Grand Rapids to Chicago O'Hare International Airport - scheduled for 7:30 pm. They recommended to me to try to get to Chicago on an earlier flight due to all of the flight delays from the storms moving across the midwest. They got me into a great aisle seat on an earlier flight. While it remains to be seen what time my earlier flight actually departs - thank you ladies at the American Eagle ticket counter for being thoughtful and pro-active!

Of all of the experiences I've had while visiting Flint, MI the service provided by Elizabeth S…read more was unmatched. After a less than favorable experience at the AA ticket counter a few days prior, she far exceeded my expectations. She was friendly, helpful, courteous, and professional. She not only addressed my need, but also assisted me with resolving an issue I had. Not to mention, I loved seeing how helpful she was with her peer in ensuring she understood their processes and procedures. Because of Elizabeth I won't leave this city with a lingering bad taste in my mouth.

Horrible experiences with this airline. I have flown every week this year. Last week and this week…read moreare the first two weeks I have flown with American Airlines. They do not have their crop together. Last week had a delayed flight that stranded me in Chicago. The reason for the delay was catering. My bag was lost on my flight in Friday morning and I did not get it back until 5pm on Sunday. This week, they can not get my reservation correct. It's split on AA and US Airways. I go to AA.COM to check in and it rerouted me to usairways for check in. Once there, it routed me back to AA.COM for check in. I could not get my seats selected, nor could I get my boarding passes. I added my Known traveler number to my reservation at booking, tried double checking online, no luck. I called the reservations number and they assured me it was on the reservation. When I get to the airport, the agent said it was not on the reservation. I asked the agent to add it to my reservation, he said he did not know how. I asked him to ask one of the other agents for help and he said he couldn't ask them. The agent then told me that he couldn't give me all of my boarding passes since it wasn't an AA reservation, but a US airways reservation. I said I have a rather close connection, that's a huge inconvenience. The agents response was, yes, it hasn't been a seamless merger. I told him no, it's been anything but and is messing with people's lives. He said, I don't know what to tell you. I will be doing everything in my power to avoid this disorganized and horrible airline for my future travels.
