    I recently flew out of Charlottesville back home to Atlanta. While I waited for my flight, I…read moredecided to grab a breakfast burrito and a drink at the ONLY place to eat in the whole airport. At first I was going to order a rum based drink but the "bartender" who also served as the cashier for the restaurant part told me they didn't have any pineapple juice-an ingredient that would have made the drink pop. So against my better judgment, I decided to order an old fashioned. Now before anyone comes for me and says that doesn't go with a breakfast burrito and why would you get that for an afternoon flight? You're right I should have not done this because it was by far the WORST old fashioned I have had in my LIFE! But did I listen to my gut to my better self?? No! I foolishly ordered it. Another bartender comes over and asks the cashier/bartender if she wanted to learn how to make one. Now side bar, I'm a bartender too so I know how a good or even decent old fashioned should be made and taste. Which is another reason why I shouldn't have ordered it from an airport dive bar, if you will. Anyways, as I am watching him make it and "teach" his coworker how to make it my flabbers were gasted!!! He grabs an orange slice and maraschino cherry from the fridge and puts it in a rock bottom glass. He then dashes a few bitters in it and grabs some sugar and pours it over the fruit. He grabs his muddler and muddles those ingredients together. I'm speechless. He then adds ice cubes not an ice block or sphere and adds the bourbon. Now pause, if he'd stopped there I would have classified the cocktail as a mid level drink. Not great but meh. I would have said well technically it's the traditional way to make an old fashioned. But nooo he does not stop there! He then takes the drink, holds it under the soda nozzle and pours CLUB SODA on top! I clutched my proverbial pearls!!! I do not know if this is the regional way to make OF's but this was absolutely abhorrent! But what made it worse besides me not saying hell no I don't want that was the price-TWENTY-ONE dollars and 63 cents!! I deserve to be slapped for paying it and most importantly not sending it back. Needless to say, I swallowed the subpar drink, paid for it and vowed that I will never allow someone to serve me something I know is made incorrectly and two never order my favorite cocktail from the only bar in a small town airport. Lesson learned for sure!

    This really isn't such a bad airport bar. It has some beers on tap (including a few local beers),…read moreand a full bar. Plenty of seating for this tiny airport (it is the only bar/restaurant in the airport). My only real complaint about the bar? The food is pretty terrible. I ordered a Margherita pizza, which was pretty awful. Definitely frozen and reheated in a toaster over. It was exceptionally bad! Definitely just grab pre-prepared foods!

    it's been 9 years since I updated my review and I gotta say--as someone who will frequently travel…read morefrom ATL to CHO--the Charlottesville airport is exceptionally well run. from end-to-end (with a few rare exceptions) the check-in/TSA/snacks/boarding experience is seamless and supremely easy. for real, I wish it were that breezy traveling out of the Atlanta airport. it's not. in order to enjoy the Atlanta airport one must *be inside* first, which itself is a monumental task. All in all, I'm very impressed with how CHO has improved. keep up the great work.

    For an extremely small airport, CHO is very efficient and clean. I was literally the only person at…read morethe TSA area for a good few minutes, and I was there on a Friday at 10 a.m. I would not want to be stuck there for more than an hour, though, because there's only one small restaurant/bar, and a sundry store, and that's about it. 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.

    During a time where TSA wait times are nightmarish, I couldn't appreciate my hometown airport more…read more My flight was boarding at 6:40pm out of B9; I was dropped off at the airport at 6:32pm and was through TSA and at my gate by 6:42pm. Where else is that possible? I couldn't be more grateful for it. Quaint and cozy, easy to navigate and bound to have a rotating exhibit about Virginia history (as a former high school history teacher, I can't help but notice the opportunities to learn while waiting in the airport's tiny atrium for other arrival passengers or before your own flight takeoff?), I'd choose the calmness of this airport (almost) anyday. If only they had more connecting flights!

    This is for the road signage. Trying to leave…read more I'm on the road 300 days a year. I stay in a lot of different cities, and I fly into about 70 different airports. This thing is the most messed up anywhere. Yeah, it was after sunset, but the signage just blows. After three round trips using Apple Maps, I pulled over, gave up and used Google maps. Didn't help at all. The road signage is so fucking piss poor. Where I was going I finally gave up, and drove to the nearest highway, went 3 miles out of the way, and got to where I was going. Got to look at a lot of parking at the airport! And get a bunch of (free) tickets for parking because I was only in there for three or four minutes. But this is a major bullshit. I challenge any one who isn't there every single day, maybe say a manager of another airport? To try and find their way out of there simply. It's not doable.

    Very rarely do you think you should be reviewing airport lounges. But there are some that stand out…read moreand Etihad is that ONE. Whether or not you have a membership, they greet you warmly and explain what the cost is and the membership benefits are. Once you check in, they ask if you've been in the lounge before and explain the process of ordering amenities, etc. The design of the lounge itself is breathtaking with clear views of the air field and two levels to choose seating from. When you make your way to the bar you're warmly greeted by the amazing trio Angie, Erica, and Freedom. Hard-working lovely ladies that really make the experience 10x better. The lounge is very clean and the food bar has delicious meals that are fresh and refreshing. Overall a great experience before your next flight. Gracias Etihad Lounge for a phenomenal experience!

    After experiencing the chase sapphire lounge in Boston, I have been itching to visit another one…read more Unfortunately, this was did not compare. It is inferior in every way. It is smaller, has less food options, only one shower, only 4 bathroom stalls, and a long wait if you happen upon it during a busy time. Their signature burger was not good here - dry, overcooked, no flavor. When I had it in Boston, it was pretty good, so super disappointing. The service was the same, attentive and professional. Having said all this, it is still much better than most airport lounges in the United States. The salmon and rice they served on the buffet line was good, so I filled up in that. The location is fairly convenient - in A. You can walk from B. It's next to where you'd enter from the airport tram (if coming from C) and when you get off the escalator from the airport shuttle (if coming from D).
