The place seems mellow, low-key. Few distractions for shopping and eating here. (There may have been none; we just hung out at our gate.) Our flight left a few minutes early; I guess everyone was ready to go. Minus one star because the TSA agent was quite short with me. There was no line and I was not doing anything inappropriate. My companion noticed her rudeness too.

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.

I've flown out of St. Louis Lambert International Airport many, many times over the years. I…read moretypically fly out of Terminal 2 since that's where Southwest is based, so that's the terminal I'm most familiar with. This airport can be VERY hit or miss when it comes to security. Sometimes you can get through in the blink of an eye, and other times you're waiting close to 45 minutes and starting to worry that you're going to miss your flight. I think a lot of it depends on what's happening in St. Louis--whether there's a big conference, spring break, a holiday, etc.--and I'm not sure the staffing always adjusts accordingly. Because of that, I always recommend checking the security wait times before you leave so you have an idea of how much extra time you need. Once you actually get through security, the airport is pretty easy to navigate. It's not a massive terminal, and you're generally at your gate fairly quickly. There can still be quite a bit of walking, though. One of my biggest annoyances is arriving late at night when there are barely any other planes coming or going, but your plane happens to be at something like Gate E40. Then you have to walk ALL the way down to E13 to exit when all the gates in between are completely empty. Why?! Finding the elevators, escalators, and baggage claim is pretty straightforward, and there are several food and drink options available. I personally don't usually eat or drink at the airport because I'm typically flying for vacation and like to eat at home before I leave. Drop-off is generally easy, but pickup is a little more of a hot mess. There seems to be one extreme or the other. They used to have security officers down there who would wave you along if you waited for even 10 seconds. Now, I've seen people park, load up their car, go inside to use the restroom, and come back out before leaving. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground. Because of that, if I don't have checked bags, I usually have my mom pick us up from the departures level instead of arrivals. It's just easier and less stressful. Overall, Lambert is a pretty easy airport to navigate. It gets you where you need to go without being overwhelmingly large, and I've only experienced a few major delays there. Usually, when something has gone wrong, it hasn't really been the airport's fault--it's been an issue with the airline, the aircraft, or something else outside of the airport's control. It may not be the fanciest airport around, but after flying out of here so many times, I know my way around and generally find it easy to get in, get through, and get on my way.

This was exciting as many many years ago the only options were connections in Chicago and that can always be hit or miss because of weather. There are two terminals and you can tell they've added new chairs that were super comfy. As another reviewer said, the security check made me laugh as I agree they must be so bored all day. I have the new "real ID" and the ladies working the check in spot got some leaflet out to verify my states drivers license and then were discussing it while shining some weird light on it. This airport still offers free parking which is unheard of these days. No need for the cell phone waiting area, you can actually park and walk inside to greet your loved ones as they arrive to SPI. :-)

It seemed like an odd combination but it had a nice taste. I dont know what they have on the menu, as far as other food items. The place does have a bar,which boasted Natty Lights for $1.50 per bottle or $5 pitcher of draft Natty Light. I was told they stay busy with the small aircraft that flies in and out of the airport.

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.
