    Quiet midday on a Thursday, each pour of the flight is about 3/4 of a shot, so you can get it and still walk to your flight.

    Second time through, and I still really enjoy this airport. Typically smaller city airports are…read morewhere it's at, versus say NYC or Atlanta, as they're naturally easier in and out. This one is easy, but also nice. Lots of light, easy to navigate terminals, decent restaurant choices, and cleaner than my house will ever be. While poppin', it was nice to see a big Starbucks as I had an early flight out and hadn't caffeinated yet. (Side note, give these folks a raise, they're busting it.) I got held up by TSA for a while because I had a candle in my bag but it was still much quicker than several others. It's also not too far from NuLu where I stayed, maybe 15 minutes by car or so. All the amenities you'd hope for with an airport, and overall it's a good one.

    SDF is a small airport & arriving here wasn't a bad experience. I got a bourbon ball when I arrived…read more& there were many personnel directing travelers to the areas for ride sharing. Leaving the day after the derby I knew to arrive early especially after it was reported to get there 2.5 hours prior to departure due to it being reported on the news that the Sunday was the busiest day at this airport on the news. There was not a sign saying where the clear lane was but we asked & were told where to go (same lane as pre-check). Once we got to the clear ambassador we were checked into the entrance of the lane with no issues. When we got toward the front of the clear line that is when things went wrong. There was one lane for pre-check & one for clear. 3 lanes or more lanes were for general entry. At that point TSA agents began letting pre-check passengers pass us in our lane and we had to just wait. Then they began letting general passengers without a paid expedited clearance go through security before us. This went on for an extended period of time. Then a couple in front of me that had clear were finally allowed to go through security. The tsa agent (Fatima) was holding a paddle directing passengers including that couple to move forward. The paddle that she used to direct passengers was still being held up so I thought she was telling me I could go since I was next in line. When I moved she yelled at me and told me to come back. Then another passenger began asking her why there were three lanes open with TSA agents checking in & verifying ID's to proceed into security for only pre-check passengers for an extended period of time and why clear passengers couldn't proceed. Passengers without any expedited clearance were also allowed to keep moving forward into the security search area. Fatima said that we were regular and had to wait. The other passenger said that we are not regular and asked why we paid for clear if we couldn't use the benefits and were not being processed prior to the regular passengers. The passenger asked another TSA agent if she should just go through the regular lane instead of clear & that TSA agent said that she would have to go to the end of the line if she did. That line was extremely long & the passenger had a flight less than an hour to departure. Also another TSA agent was allowing passengers with pre-check and clear move to the TSA only line in front of other passengers. More passengers in the general lanes were allowed to move forward while we continued to have to wait. Fatima later called another employee over and then they asked for a supervisor. Fatima was very unprofessional and rude. Many of TSA agents were unprepared, unorganized and unprofessional. There were a few nice TSA agents but Fatima wasn't one of them.

    The Conservatory is fun. It's a unique building connecting the two towers of the Galt Hotel,…read moreoverlooking 4th street and the river. You can come here for breakfast, for lunch, or for drinks. You can hang out or just walk on through with your luggage to the other tower. During the conferences I attend, the Conservatory is always busy and lively in the mornings when everyone is grabbing food from Thelma's and in the evening when everyone is grabbing a drink from the bar (super-friendly bartenders and good drinks, by the way) and socializing or watching a game one of the three large televisions. Most recently, they've added more comfortable seating for patrons. One year, we all gathered at the windows to watch the exciting rescue of a truck driver when her semi went over the edge of the bridge. Would I come here just because? Probably not. But I enjoy spending time in here when I stay at the Galt.

    We popped in the Galt House to view the Christmas decorations and ended up in the bar that connects…read morethe east and west sections of the hotel. It was lively and a fun atmosphere on Christmas Eve. I can't resist a good bourbon slushy and they had a peach flavored one that day. We ordered at the bar and took our drinks to one of the sitting areas to enjoy and watch the crowd. The service was professional, although bartender was not super friendly. Views of the Ohio River are an added bonus. The slushy was delicious and fairly strong. It was a nice outing and worth a visit if you're in the area
