    Grandpa, reading
    Jack C.

    Very friendly staff, good selection of foods, clean, good military based decorations that my grandfather loves. Would recommend . No decaf coffee tho

    Fully loaded kitchen with food and beverages! Well worth a donation.

    Open to all Active Duty Military, Retirees, and family members (with Government ID)... Like all USO locations, they're located outside of security, which is especially doable if you have TSA Pre-Check (which you can easily get using your DOD ID if active duty or immediate family) ... this USO is located above baggage claim... ORF not a huge airport, so if you have more than an hour between flights, it's probably worth a trek to have a bite and a comfortable seat, especially if you're traveling with kids!! This particular location is clean, amazingly friendly, and has a food stock that will make any traveler pleased. You'll find plenty of stuff you can't even find at the airport shops! Not to mention the fresh made iced tea and lemonade in the fridge. Don't forget to stop at the ATM and grab some cash for a donation... believe me, a bite to eat and a drink and they're saving you much more than you're donating (especially with airport prices and VA's 12% food tax) especially if you've got little ones or a traveling companion.

    Stopped in the other day to check it out. Very nice USO. One of the best I've seen. Very large and lots of things to keep you occupied. Drinks , snacks they have it all..The staff was great and extremely nice. They are amazing... it's right about the rental cars...

    I'm thankful for all of the USO's and the volunteers but this is one of the better USOs I've ever encountered.

    This is a very pretty, modern, well maintained airport, only about 25 minutes from Virginia Beach…read more There's a huge passageway that connects the terminal to parking garage and rental cars. The main lobby area has few restaurants, shops restrooms, and even a small kid's play area. The glass ceilings brings in lots of sunlight. They have an airport logo sculpture for visitors to take pictures. There are two concourses in the airport. They have big signs with airline names on each concourses entrance. The security screening was quick. Inside the terminal there were more shops and restaurants but we didn't see any airport lounges. At the gate, there were clear signs for each flight. But the building and interior seemed older than the main lobby section. The boarding was smooth and the flight left on time. Good work overall by the ground crew.

    Norfolk International is what I would consider a medium sized airport. There are smaller and there…read moreare much larger. Major renovations are happening at present. Some airlines require you to fly smaller planes out of Norfolk with layovers and plane changes at a hub. There are convenient direct flights such as Delta to LaGuardia in NYC. This is an important flight for me. Another direct flight is one my sister took for many years on Southwest from Nashville. My earliest experiences with flying were in really small airports, some of which probably no longer exist. You haven't lived until you've flown a single prop plane that shook all the way up and down then landed in Greenville, MS stopping just as it reached the levee of the Mississippi River.. When I moved to Atlanta in 1971 my flying experiences completely changed with Hartsfield-Jackson. My first encounter with Norfolk International was when my then 4 year old son & I were coming to meet my already relocated husband to look at houses. My son flew with us a lot from Atlanta. So his experience was with the busiest airport in the world. As we taxied to our gate he said "Oh look, a baby airport. Have you ever seen an airport so small? Isn't it cute?" The more I shushed him the louder he became. People started looking at us. I thought "These people are never want us living here." Forty years later the airport has grown. A new terminal has been built, parking has been expanded with more expansion in progress. An extremely convenient "Park & Wait" lot has been built for those waiting to pick up someone at baggage claim. A new rental car building is in planned and in progress. The airport is convenient, close to my house and meets my needs and those of my family flying in. Forty years later it's served me well.

    Most of the time I'm either dropping off or picking up people from this airport. In late March I…read moregot to actually use this airport to fly to Germany part of a military unit. The good: 1. Free wifi. It's 2017 and there are airports that don't have free wifi. So glad this airport has it. Our flight was delayed for 3 hours. Not fast but efficient. Played some games and made some video calls. 2. The USO. Free drinks and snacks. Volunteers checked up on us and made coffee when needed. 3. Numerous outlets and USB charging spots. 4. Food- the only restaurant was so so but stayed open an extra few hours because they knew our flight was delayed. Not the happiest bunch serving us but the food was ok but not many options available. 5. Cherry blossom trees. They were blooming at the time. Reminded me of Japan. Need improvements: 1. Processing large units. Really slow. Only 2 screeners. Slow at ticketing and checking our luggage and cargo. 2. Food- the one restaurant- a lot of options were sold out or not available. Frustrating when you ask for three things and they don't have em in stock. Would of loved to try their adobo plate but had to settle for choice #4. Not a bad experience but not the best either. Safe travels!

    I am now in Norfolk VA on the huge base here and the air terminal has expanded since the 25 years I…read morewas LAST here! Then it was a single building, one room, two gates terminal, but now it has evolved into a multi-level terminal with elevators, huge spacious seating/waiting areas upstairs, a roomy USO with free internet access, reading material, etc, a dependent lounge, and even restrooms with single shower facilities! Downstairs are the check-in and passenger terminal counter, and even lockers to store your gear temporarily so you don't have to drag your life in luggage all over the place; unfortunately the lockers are so small but inexpensive that you can't place anything larger than a chihuahua, the lockers measuring about (very approximate) 15" square. A small sports bag would probably fit inside with no problem and are located in front of the check-in counters. I love this terminal because the numbers they use have remained unchanged throughout the decades I've used and known of this terminal. I am told there is a free shuttle during working hours. I was originally advised free wifi is located on the top floor where there is even a huge charging station, but even downstairs the wifi was very fast and connectable. Terminal is NOT open 24/7 so make plans for lodging should you arrive here and don't get out the same day. NOTE: Be prepared to sit with soldiers/airmen and LOTs of them as I discovered when I first arrived.

    I've never had a good experience flying American. My flights with this airline haven't just been…read moreflying from Norfolk International. They go back to the time I lived in Atlanta and flew out of Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson International. I've always experienced delayed flight. There have been other times the flight has boarded then sat on the tarmac for over an hour with no water offered. My worst delays were in Philadelphia. My worst tarmac experience was at Chicago O'Hare. Flying from Norfolk International requires taking an American Eagle flight to airports such as Charlotte & Reagan National to change planes. The layout of the Charlotte Airport makes flight changes difficult. I've run from one end of the airport to the other to make my flight. My sister recently came on American and experienced a long delay leaving for Reagan due to activities in DC. This would only be my airline choice for a flight if there were absolutely no other choices available.

You rebooked my plane 4 times after the second day of not being able to fly out of Norfolk and the reason that you think you can blame it on is weather? The plane I was supposed to be on was LITERALLY sitting at the gate when you told me that it was delayed for weather and then cancelled my flight. In one morning you rebooked me so many times and to so many different airports that my kids have no other option but to think I'm on drugs. I've give you no stars if I could

I dropped off my car for some service and needed a ride home to pick up my truck so I brought up the Uber app on my phone and requested a ride. Getting a ride through the app was quick and easy, I only had to wait about five minutes for the driver to arrive at my location. The car was clean and comfortable, the driver was very polite, friendly and professional. We engaged in pleasant conversation throughout the short trip. I have used taxi cab services in the past but after my experience with Uber I think it will be my first option going forward. I am happy to have their service as a transportation option.

After picking up my…read morebags in Norfolk I had a short walk outside of baggage claim to the taxi/share ride area. The app worked with no issues and provided the necessary information of pricing, arrival time and car details with tag number. I really like the fact it's a flat fee as opposed to a taxi. I have used Uber out of Norfolk over half dozen times. I have also have pre ordered my driver the night before and that worked flawlessly. Not all rides have been four stars, but I will average with some three stars. I can't say I've ever had a ride that warrants a full 5. My recent out of Norfolk International to Home worked very well. The car was clean, the driver was nice and no hitches. The price was around $2 cheaper than my normal taxi fee. I tipped off the app. I have used both Lyft and Uber with similar good results. I'm using Uber more now since my status has better pricing. I would recommend Uber in Norfolk.

Southwest Airlines has always been our go to airline because they had the two bags fly free deal, but recently that has ended so my feelings about flying different airlines has changed. We all like options right? Yes of course we do!. But overall I will keep my options open!.

    This was my first time flying with Southwest & most likely my last time booking tickets with them…read more I travel pretty often with a little one & have been since he was a newborn. Southwest does not accommodate young travelers/families like other airlines. While they do offer boarding, it's after groups A & B. I'm also used to leaving a car seat at the gate for pickup as soon as we get off. As soon as we entered the plane, I asked the flight attendant if I was fine to leave my car seat there & they agreed. Southwest also has an open seating plan, meaning you don't have an assigned seat, you just pick one once you get in the plane. After we found seats & stowed out bag, they called out on the speaker of whose car seat was at the gate. I raised my hand & they were like why wasn't it checked. I said I confirmed several times it was good to go. I didn't appreciate being belittled by the lady (not sure of her name but she is at the desk in the picture. Had Southwest made their rules & policies about car seats clear, I would have properly followed them. This flight felt chaotic from the time we lined up to board until the plane took off. While I can appreciate the reasonably priced flights during the holiday time, the customer service & family friendly flights are just not what Southwest is about.
