Second time through, and I still really enjoy this airport. Typically smaller city airports are…read morewhere it's at, versus say NYC or Atlanta, as they're naturally easier in and out. This one is easy, but also nice. Lots of light, easy to navigate terminals, decent restaurant choices, and cleaner than my house will ever be. While poppin', it was nice to see a big Starbucks as I had an early flight out and hadn't caffeinated yet. (Side note, give these folks a raise, they're busting it.) I got held up by TSA for a while because I had a candle in my bag but it was still much quicker than several others. It's also not too far from NuLu where I stayed, maybe 15 minutes by car or so. All the amenities you'd hope for with an airport, and overall it's a good one.

SDF is a small airport & arriving here wasn't a bad experience. I got a bourbon ball when I arrived…read more& there were many personnel directing travelers to the areas for ride sharing. Leaving the day after the derby I knew to arrive early especially after it was reported to get there 2.5 hours prior to departure due to it being reported on the news that the Sunday was the busiest day at this airport on the news. There was not a sign saying where the clear lane was but we asked & were told where to go (same lane as pre-check). Once we got to the clear ambassador we were checked into the entrance of the lane with no issues. When we got toward the front of the clear line that is when things went wrong. There was one lane for pre-check & one for clear. 3 lanes or more lanes were for general entry. At that point TSA agents began letting pre-check passengers pass us in our lane and we had to just wait. Then they began letting general passengers without a paid expedited clearance go through security before us. This went on for an extended period of time. Then a couple in front of me that had clear were finally allowed to go through security. The tsa agent (Fatima) was holding a paddle directing passengers including that couple to move forward. The paddle that she used to direct passengers was still being held up so I thought she was telling me I could go since I was next in line. When I moved she yelled at me and told me to come back. Then another passenger began asking her why there were three lanes open with TSA agents checking in & verifying ID's to proceed into security for only pre-check passengers for an extended period of time and why clear passengers couldn't proceed. Passengers without any expedited clearance were also allowed to keep moving forward into the security search area. Fatima said that we were regular and had to wait. The other passenger said that we are not regular and asked why we paid for clear if we couldn't use the benefits and were not being processed prior to the regular passengers. The passenger asked another TSA agent if she should just go through the regular lane instead of clear & that TSA agent said that she would have to go to the end of the line if she did. That line was extremely long & the passenger had a flight less than an hour to departure. Also another TSA agent was allowing passengers with pre-check and clear move to the TSA only line in front of other passengers. More passengers in the general lanes were allowed to move forward while we continued to have to wait. Fatima later called another employee over and then they asked for a supervisor. Fatima was very unprofessional and rude. Many of TSA agents were unprepared, unorganized and unprofessional. There were a few nice TSA agents but Fatima wasn't one of them.

The assigned seats have resulted in much slower boarding, first checked bags were initially charged at $35, just raised to $45, and overall prices have been skyrocketing. What used to be a stand out airline seems to be aspiring for the infamy of the spirit airline experience.

Established in 1919, it is one of the longest continuously operating, general aviation airports in the United States. And it makes me feel like I'm going back in time whenever I visit. I envision gals with finger-wave hairdos, cloche hats and low-waisted skirts and fellas in fedoras and bow ties with slicked back hair -- suitcases in hand -- waiting for flights. Family and friends of the travelers gather in the airport's large lobby. Seriously, if anyone is in need of a period setting for a movie, Bowman Field definitely fits the part. If you get a chance to visit, take some time to look at the photos that line the lobby's walls. I was particularly impressed with the photo of Eleanor Roosevelt when she visited the airport. And from the lobby you can look out onto parked planes and runways. They practically meet the building. Bistro La Relais, which is in the main building as well, provides visitors with a great food option.
