My only experience with the Reno-Tahoe International Airport was picking up a friend for an annual…read moreconvention being held at nearby Grand Sierra Resort aka GSR. I left GSR and merged onto the freeway, drove about a mile, then exited for the airport. It was that quick. I drove up towards the terminals and there was ample parking. Although it says to keep moving, there appeared to be no rush. People were parking in the structure to the west and coming out of the doors of baggage claim to the east to waiting cars or taxis. My friend called and we figured out where he was from me. It was easier for me to stay put and for him to come to me. He had several bags and an airport baggage roller. Once he reached the outside curb where I was parked it was super easy to open up the doors to our SUV and get his bags inside. Back on the freeway for about a mile and we were at the GSR. From my experience, the airport is easily accessible and it's no trouble at all to pick up a friend who has flown in.

Everything is easy at this airport. If you need to park a vehicle, there are options for short term…read moreor long term. The entrance is easy to determine which one to select. Currently there is some construction going on outside, but getting to the parking garage and the terminal was easy. Drop off and pickup is simple as well. Drive in, drive out. The entrance to the security area is well marked and easy to find, it is in the center of the airport. The security lines are usually quite short, it's usually 15 minutes or less every time I have gone through. once I was through security I made my way to the Southwest gate. Everything went very smooth and it was stress-free.

Cons: No snacks or drinks while you wait for your plane. Seating area is small and looks like an office but comfortable chairs. Plane itself is old and uncomfortable.

Pricing is similar to other carriers and I pray they will bring back the route to Las Vegas soon! Hope you're reading this corporate :) Currently I believe they only fly from Reno to Burbank or Orange County which is non-stop, but use to fly direct to Las Vegas a few times a day. Here are a couple of tips for you though! -You can't park your car in the JSX parking lot without having to do the valet which I believe is fairly costly so plan ahead and get a ride or do the math and get an Uber if it makes more sense. -Also be ready for a brief random bag check here and there. -Last but not least there is overhead compartments on their jets so even if you have a carry on you will need to hand it off to one their polite employees as it goes under the plane. You can carry on back packs, purses and stuff like that which would fit under the seat in front of you. Happy flying and I almost forgot to mention they have complimentary snacks & beverages just like the big boys but even better!!

The new assigned seating is in effect. Some have said it is worse than before, but having an…read moreassigned seat is far easier than wandering the aisle hoping for an aisle or window seat. It also seems to have sped up loading times. The queue prosses is about the same as before. Instead of lining up next to posts with number on them, there are boarding groups 1-6 that will be called out. The main adavantage I can see with having an earlier boarding is making sure you can get a spot for your carry-on. I have been in boarding groups 3-6 on various flights and I always found an overhead spot. There have been a couple flights I was on that were not full, but some rows were empty while middle seats were filled. The flight attendants were strict about staying in your assigned seat even if there were empty rows. On another flight two weeks later there was an empty row in the back, and the flight attendant shuffled a few people around to free up some middle seats. Maybe they are relaxing a little bit about assigned seating if there are empty ones. Loading went about as smooth as it did before the assigned seating went into effect. Service is still great and friendly, flights left and arrive on time, and I will continue to fly with Southwest.

Business trip to Reno for the week and headed back home to Vegas. No complaints, Southwest Airlines…read moregets the job done.
