So sad! There is so much potential but management is terrible! The manager was sitting in a plain…read moreT-shirt, sunglasses, sipping on a big gulp while 3 people stood in line waiting for someone to show up to the counter. I went to ask if he worked here and he stated, "Sort of." He knew nothing, didn't ask if any of us needed help, and just told us he didn't know much. I asked if there was a manager or supervisor and that's when he said he was. No wonder no one answered the phone during working hours at 3:00pm, no one wonder this place is going down hill...when you have a sloppy, lazy, incompetent manager with zero experience and zero customer service, you'll see why people would rather drive to DFW. Get a new manager ASAP!

This may be America's smallest airport…read more I did not land here and only departed because we landed in OKC, which was cheaper than doing a whole round trip into this airport. Getting the car rental was easy, despite the current construction inside and out. I'm sure it's going to look really nice when completed. This airport's parking lot can probably fit 50 cars. One plus is that you get free parking during the first hour, so my friend was able to park and use the restroom while we went to the car rental counter. Only American Airlines flies in and out of here and there aren't multiple flights at once. If other people are in the airport, they will be on your flight. We arrived on April 20th at 3AM looking for a spot to drop the car rental. I'd thought it a better idea to drop off my mom in the front since it was raining and the doors were closed! A few minutes later, someone came and opened the doors. One of the check-in machines was not printing so I used the other. Only 2 check -in machines and the area is not big at all.

Okay, hear me out about Lawton-Fort Sill Regional Airport. It's actually really small. If you're…read moreever been to Tonga, you'll know what I mean. The airport is currently under construction, but the Lawton-Fort Sill Regional Airport team is very efficient. One thing I want to note is that ONLY American Airlines fly into this airport. And I just wanted to let you know that American Airlines is notorious for being delayed. If you're planning on coming here for the Army's BCT graduation, I highly, highly suggest you come here two days before the graduation date. A lot of us were delayed at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and we thought we weren't going to make it to the graduation despite flying the day before (18 families on my flight with soldiers graduating). So let this be a warning. Now back to the airport. Once you land, you'll get off of a ramp that is outside and you'll walk into the airport building. You'll go through some bay doors and make it into the baggage pickup carousel area. Just past that is the car rental kiosk desk such as Enterprise Rent-A-Car. The airport is on the smaller side so going in and out of this airport is easy. There isn't much to do at this airport- they have vending machines and a cafe (for to-go only). TSA was super easy to get in and out. If you have TSA pre-check, they'll give you a card so you can bypass taking off your shoes and coat. If you don't, sorry- you're going to have to take those off. From my understanding, American Airlines only flies into this airport 2-3 times a day so be sure to remember that American Airlines is notorious for delays or cancellation! I personally like the ease of this airport. Stars shouldn't be deducted for not having a lot of activities here. It's a small regional airport and honestly, Lawton is lucky to have this airport nearby. I can't imagine flying into OKC or ICT and drive 40 minutes to 1 hour to get here just for graduation especially with delayed/cancelled flights. Oh, I also wanted to give a shout out to John. He's like a jack of all trades there!

Quick look rating: 4/5 Experience…read more What a great find of a little airport, and I mean a little airpot! Just to the north of Dallas, Texas just under a hundred miles, right near highway 35 lies this cute little airport. It is very close to the southern border of Oklahoma right near the Texas, Oklahoma border. After a tough week, I took a little adventure to the north of Dallas on highway 35 for a discovery/adventure trip. I had stopped and talked to some locals and found out a rumor of a fantastic catfish restaurant, that some folks would fly into the small airport and wonder over for their catfish! Now that seems like it must be some damn good catfish to me! It must be in how fresh the fish must be and the breading! Ok, so I was on adventure to learn more. I found this little airport where they would fly into and boy is it small! The restaurant for this fantastic catfish is known as McGehee Catfish Resturant and has high marks with Yelp so far! A four out of five with currently 25 reviews, but who else knows about this hidden gem that even pilots are willing to fly into this little airport for fresh catfish. This catfish restaurant must be good to have so many pilots and their customers fling in for catfish! What I loved is from observation that this is a cute little airport!
