Isaac R.

This is a great small airport clean, easy to navigate, and stress-free. I really like how it keeps the classic Arizona desert style throughout the terminal, which gives it a unique local feel. Everything feels simple and efficient compared to larger airports, making travel much more enjoyable. Definitely a convenient and pleasant airport to fly out of.

I love coming to this airport, sitting at the picnic tables and watching the airplanes takeoff and land. There's a nice area right by the tarmac that has picnic tables and a few shade trees. There is also a large covered area with picnic tables as well. It's nice, quiet and relaxing. Some days I see fighter jets, commercial aircraft, small Cessna's and private jets. Air Force One has even landed here.

Allegiant

Really nice little airport, however, there aren't many restaurants or shops airside so I'd recommend eating before you arrive if possible. I love that the car rental desks are right next to the baggage claim, which makes it really convenient upon landing. TSA is also fast here and I've never had an issue on the 3 times I've flow out of here so far.

Arrived alive it a great but very hot city!

Airport was super clean, bathrooms well stocked and sinks wiped down. Staff were friendly and smiling and willing to guild us lost folds in the correct direction! Well lit signs and easy directions to follow! Thanks, Mesa! O and TSA- enjoy that 4.1 oz of body butter a-holes

If you're looking for inexpensive flights to get out of town, this is the airport to go to. Although it's a long drive to get to it it's worth it for the price if you are watching prices. We always use allegiant airline. They have long-term and short term parking as well. The airport is small so there's honestly only about 10 gates so you don't have to fight with as many people When you're trying to catch your flight.

Very small, only ten gates and one major carrier (Allegiant), but that's what makes it nice.

I've lived around 5 miles of Falcon Field my whole life. However, they have now up to 12-14 different FLIGHT SCHOOLS in which they allow their pilots to train DIRECTLY above our community and are often doing their extremely LOUD turns right at my home, ALL DAY LONG. They do loops over and over and OVER above our home. I have proof of this. I have emailed them asking them to please have their pilots take a different route as this is not a huge empty lot anymore. I can't imagine how disruptive this incessant noise must be to the students in the schools at ALA and Red Mountain Ranch Elementary nearby also. But the FAA doesn't care about the City of Mesa Noise Ordinances! They don't care that the decibels we are being subjected to is way above the limit and that it's CONSTANT. Shame on these flight schools for training their pilots by flying in circles all day long over the same community. Take a different route where you're not circling the same area! They start as early as 3AM or 4AM and more often than not I hear their airplanes as late as 11PM or 12AM. It's absolutely ridiculous, incessant and obnoxious noise pollution.

The paintings on display were hung in a room with lower lights, all looking quite 'elemental' : my favorite was one with the moon and animals at the water, but they were all striking in their colors and meanings. I took several photos of the nearby "gone era" when flying wasn't as it is today; saw models of a DC-3 like the ones I flew in as a child, a P51 from WWII, and a photo section reminding us of the Tuskegee Airmen and the Black aviators of the era. Picked up a postcard of the museum with another group of artists featured nearby All of these displays are in Terminal 4, level 3 - east of the food court. Parking in the 'departures' garage is a short walk into the airport, down in the elevator, and voila ... you're arrived at your destination!

I flew Allegiant from Mesa to Rapid City SD because they were the quickest and cheapest carrier…read more The flight out was great with no issues. However, the return flight was fraught was frustration and disappointment, including a total of 5 delays for a total of 7h and 29m sequestered to gate 7 in Rapid City's airport. I was pretty frustrated and angry, but once I learned what the company did in attempts to prevent everyone involved from being stranded, I completely understood and am now sympathetic to the cause. I would actually choose Allegiant Air again if their route was the most convenient, even with the possibility of being shipwrecked by them again... because they do try and they do care

This particular experience is regarding the purchase of tickets. I recently learned that if you…read morehave the opportunity to purchase tickets at the counter, you can save roughly $40 per round trip which is essentially the convenience/admin fee online, but there are specific parameters on how to do so... It has to be during their allotted or scheduled hours for the airport Which is extremely limited and as of this review is from 12:00 - 1:00 pm. Every other day they are considered "closed". I did inquire with the agent if it really was only on Sundays, which she said they can sometimes do it during other hours right before or after a flight, but not guaranteed and depends whose working that day. Secondly, though they have various lines and have signs saying "All Services", you have to go to the very end, along the wall for tickets and oddly enough there is no sign. Because the hours are so limited, travelers will book multiple sets of tickets at once and their system or process is not built around efficiency, We had about 10 or so people ahead of us and were in line for almost an hour. Again, some of these travelers were booking numerous tickets, so it would take longer, but they really don't set anyone up for success and you have to provide all the standard info you need for a flight, but verbally then need to confirm. So as you can imagine, not the quickest process. It would make a lot more sense if they have forms that could be prefilled to help streamline the process. We had three round trip tickets to book so saved about $120 for our hour of time, was it worth it? In this particular case, yes, but time is money too, so one ticket, maybe not, but it's all relative. You do also have to pay for parking, which luckily is not too steep in Mesa and was a few bucks for the hour. I do not quite understand why more work for the staff leads to more affordable or cheaper tickets, but is an option for those traveling and if you have many tickets to book!

We arrived here from Harry Reid Airport (LAS) on 2/16/24 and departed on 2/18/24 using JSX. JSX's service from SCF to LAS replaced their LAS service to/from Phoenix-Sky Harbor (PHX) about a month ago. Since this is a small airport with no commercial aircraft or TSA, I will just stick this review towards the JSX lounge area upon our return to LAS. The JSX lounge here at SCF is really nice and literally right on the tarmac. They have complimentary coffee and tea, but sadly they did not have any lids available for their coffee cups. While waiting, I had myself two chocolate cappuccinos, which were really good! We got to the lounge at around noonish and boarded the plane at around 12:35, with a scheduled departure time of 12:50. Checking in our bags was super quick and super easy, as we were one of the first few people to show up at the lounge. The flight was super short as well. It only took about 45 minutes to get from SCF to LAS. Because Arizona lies entirely within the Mountain Time Zone and Nevada is within the Pacific Time Zone (outside of Daylight Savings Time), it felt like the flight only took 15 minutes. If we travel to Scottsdale again, it's more than likely that we'll be using JSX.
