Checking in my luggage was easy, as I had priority. There was a gentleman that helped move the lines along by helping passengers at the kiosk and printing tags. It was a quick walk through TSA PreCheck Touchless ID. And the ride in the movable walkway (people mover shuttle bus) was pretty cool. I had never seen anything like this at any airport - so unique! I enjoyed the ride and our shuttle bus wasn't full. I got to my gate easily and waited until it was time to board the plane. Overall, it was an easy airport to navigate. I did get to the airport early afternoon so I'm sure it was after the morning rush.

Gate A1A was tricky. It took seven escalators to get to. Surprisingly my carry-on was flagged because I had African spices. They actually opened and tested my African spices for explosives. Fortunately, we arrived at 6 AM and the airport wasn't busy. However it took us :90 to get to our gate to head home.

It is a very fun experience to run next to jets and with helicopters flying over you. The airport features a small but excellent museum dedicated to Manassas residents who served the US Military. It is completely free and made up of local donations. I was surprised by how many artifacts they had. Anyways it's a great way to spend an hour or so. 5 stars

MRA (HEF) hosts non-commercial flights - small planes, helicopters, & private jets with massive hangers spreaded across the neatly landscaped & sprawling property. The airport has two runways, 3700' & 5700' long with a newly renovated Air Traffic Control Tower. Since 2009, MRA receives international (private) flights, slated as a customs landing rights airport. MRA also houses Aviation Adventures, a flight school. On site, is the Freedom Museum showcasing & honoring those who served in the military with sharing their history & heritage. Free admissions, donations appreciated. MRA is the largest regional airport in VA (other airports - Leesburg, Warrenton-Fauquier & Stafford) & is roughly 30 miles out from DC.

Security was especially impressive -- we went straight through without removing shoes, belts, or pulling laptops out because the new scanners handle everything with much better accuracy. It made the whole process faster and less stressful. Inside the terminal, the biggest thing they still need is more service‑style restaurants. There are plenty of fast‑food spots, but not enough places where you can sit down and be served. We chose Silver Diner for that reason, and it ended up being a great choice. Good service, good food, and a calm break from the airport rush.

It's been a few years since I've flown in or out of BWI, so imagine my surprise and delight when I…read morearrived for an outbound flight and saw they have started to shine this place up! It's not there just yet, as most of the public and gate areas are still in need of updates and refreshes, but the areas they have improved, especially the restrooms in the terminals, is a step in the right direction for sure. I usually utilize BWI when I can get a good direct on Southwest, and my latest visit here was because just that...I was headed ti San Diego and there were no directs from DCA, so I traveled the 45 minutes to BWI to make it happen. Drop off here is pretty standard, as is security. Neither had delays or craziness, but I also flew in a Thursday morning. I gave myself more than enough time, which actually turned out to be more than needed. The airport is massive, but flows well from concourse to concourse. Moving sidewalks, wide terminal hallways and clear directional signage help. There are plenty of shopping and dining options throughout BWI, and each terminal/concourse is equipped with a few options, but if you don't like any of them, the other terminals are a few minutes away. I was flying out of B, but dined in C. Only issues, that I know they will solve eventually, is the gate areas. They need an update and some of them need an update in flow. Overall, BWI is a decent airport and checks all the boxes needed when traveling to or from the area!

It was easy to get to Baggage Claim. Once I got my luggage, though, there weren't any signs inside the airport directing where the Uber and Lyft pickup was. It was only when I walked outside when I saw the different zones to wait. Overall, from deplaning to getting my luggage at baggage claim to waiting at the curb for Uber, it was no more than 30 minutes. The wait for the Uber driver was extra. Not bad!

This airport does have a balcony that you can step out onto to get some fresh air, but there's no smoking. But there are tables and chairs, so you can eat outside and watch the planes come in. The Charlottesville airport also has a nursing room, and a lounge (but I'm not sure who it's for), and lots of chairs with outlets. They have more outlets here than people, probably, so you'll find somewhere to plus your stuff into. It's an easy get-in-get-out airport.

They are open until 7pm most weekdays, so if you want service...make sure you get here before 7pm. We arrived at 6:45 and a staff member with a golf kart met us (after calling them on the radio), showed us to our parking spot, pushed the plane back AND tied it down for us while getting our luggage to the gate. It was incredible. The FBO staff were super helpful in giving me the number to a few mechanics (spark plugs needed cleaning) on the field and even offered us some water. Parking is $15/day, but they were incredibly sweet to waive our fees for the entire 3 days with a top off. Usually they only waive one day with a 20 gallon purchase, but they were super nice to us! Getting to DC from this airport isn't too bad. You can take a Lyft/Uber directly to DC for about $40-45 (about a 35minute ride) or take a bus/taxi/Uber to the train station ($~10-15 for the taxi) and then take the train into DC($5). All in all, until I get the FRZ requirements out of the way to fly into College Park, I'll be sure to return to Montgomery if going to DC. They provided amazing service. There is also a diner right at the airport with has decent lunch and you can watch the planes taking off as you eat. Seems like a lot of locals go there.

He always mentioned he wanted to get his flying license one day, so it was a good gift. I'm so rad. It was cold as a witch's teat and the winds were high. Our instructor was super affable and knowledgeable too. I had my camera ready and was set to snap pictures from the ground when the instructor asked me if I'd like to fly along. I was scared, to be honest, since Welshie was manning the plane, but the instructor has full control as well. It was a stomach-dropping, squeal-inducing, 20-minute flight and it was quite freeing. I did think I was going to die, though. Our instructor even said that the winds were so bad that he was going to cancel the rest of his lessons. Nice. Overall, it's a great little airpark and learning to fly is awesome. It's not cheap if you want to get your license--you're probably looking at about $10K when it's all said and done. I highly recommend trying it out at least once, though.
