straight to the point airport. Living in Dallas and coming to this was very cutesy, very demure…read more The waiting area for ALL flights is the size of one gate at international airports. If uou want somewhere to sit get there kinda sorta early or you'll have to stand til it's time to board or until 1 of the 2 flights board. All there's a FREE shuttle that takes you from Columbus to Starkville so if you need a ride and want a free ride jump on the shuttle. It runs both ways and in line with GTR flights.

No shuttles. No amenities. Very few rental cars. Impossible to get an uber for a 6am flight…read more Security does not open until almost boarding time. Much more pleasant to fly into BHM and make the 2-hour drive. But the prices at BHM have skyrocketed so we are back at GTR.

My hubby is a pilot and we rented a plane out of Monroe County Airport for the weekend. They have a…read morebrand new facility that is very nice! The pilots lounge is full of leather recliners and a big screen TV, snacks, coffee, and a refrigerator full of drinks. The bathrooms have showers in them for convenience. Everything was clean and the people were very friendly. We had a great experience flying out of this airport!

Tupelo Airport is a very small but very nice and clean airport. The staff, including TSA, were…read moreincredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the travel experience feel relaxed and easy. Since it's a small airport, there aren't many amenities--one thing I'd love to see is a drink stand or at least some vending machines. That would make waiting a bit more comfortable. Overall, it's a great little airport with a personal touch. Just bring your own snacks and water!

This is small regional airport. But i really am glad they are here and give us the ability to fly…read morewith them. The airport offers a parking lot with free parking, 2 car rental offices, Hertz and Budget, and easy flights to places like Nashville, TN several times a day. The only issue that I have with the airport is that I sometimes feel information gets lost or confused from the smaller airports than the larger ones I'm used to flying. I am TSA Precheck, yet here at Tupelo they still make you pull almost everything out of you carry one to run through security, and every time i fly out of the airport, when i get home, I always have a piece of paper INSIDE my check bag saying that someone has opened and gone through my luggage. I'm not a fan of that, yet it happens every single time. It often makes me feel like I've done something wrong, even though I fly major airports all of the time and never have issues. At least I get to keep my shoes on still. Aside from the security inconveniences, the airport is really great. They help to make my travel back and forth easier, and I'll take the few inconveniences for that I guess.

I have been here twice to see the Blue Angels. The first time was two years ago. They put on an…read moreunbelievable show. The first time I came I parked in town at a Kmart then rode a yellow school bus to get here. This time I drove as close as I could get and parked out in a field nearby to watch the Blue Angels do their show about a half mile away at this air port. In summary, I will come back to this airport to watch the Blue Angels. It is worth the long drive from Tennessee.

I have never actually flown out of this airport, but I have been to 2 airshows here. They have a…read moregood viewing area for the shows. The Blue Angels were at both and they were awesome! The airport park has a nice playground and walking trail. It's fun to watch the planes while playing at the park. The area is very well maintained. There is also a nice pavilion. There is also an open field nearby where we used to practice softball. I've seen people playing soccer there as well.

A colleague and I used to fly here when he was earning his flight hours. We would split the fuel…read moreexpenses, which weren't too terribly bad at the time. With a nominal fuel purchase from the airport, we weren't charged a ramp parking fee, making such fly-ins a bit more affordable. The airport offered a sole courtesy car that was available on a first come, first serve basis. (I believe that there's still a two hour time limit on the use of the car.). We'd hop in the car, go grab a meal somewhere in Oxford, then get back into our aircraft, and be on our way. The staff was always professional, and offered free drinks, snacks, and ice. We always timed our flights to Oxford for non-game days (college) to avoid the inevitable congestion at the airport and town. A lot a people fly in for games. Fun times! (There no commercial passenger service available at this airport.)
