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.

This is your last stop before you get on your plane. I was just about to board my plane to go home to Florida and I needed Water and a snack so I stopped and grabbed both.

The prices were ok for an air port and the interaction was quick and easy.

Prior to showing up in Louisville I had did the check in and what not to make things a bit more…read moreseamless for me. Then I showed up and followed the directions in the email saying to bypass the counter and head out to the Enterprise kiosk to hop in the vehicle and go. However, that did not go as planned. Myself, and several other customers all showed up to the kiosk in the garage and found it dark with no employees in it. Yes, it was early in the day, but other rental companies were lit up and buzzing with employees. We all stood there for about 5-10 minutes before one of the gentlemen in front of me went over to a competitors kiosk and found out we all needed to go over there to be processed out of the garage. See, there is a sign, not that big of a sign that points Enterprise customers here. But, if you bypass the counter inside the terminal and take the exit that lead right to the garage area for rentals, you come out at the Enterprise kiosk. Where was the sign posted, at the competitors kiosk, at another entrance to the area in the garage. Once we all migrated to the opened kiosk we were all led to vehicles to choose from. I hopped in the one I chose, made my way to the gate to be processed out. Rode around Louisville for the better part of a week and came back to return the vehicle. Brining the vehicle back was just as big a mess when leaving with it upon arrival. Pulling in to the return area almost instantly turns into a traffic jam. Vehicles pulling out are mixing with the vehicles coming in. I think they could redesign this area to make the traffic flow a bit better. People honking at you to move when you have nowhere to move yourself until the traffic moves ahead of you. Finally through the mess of traffic because no one knows what they are doing, I go down the return lane. Dropping the vehicle back off was much easier than taking the vehicle out. The staff are pretty amazing here. They go with the flow and make sure that you have everything you need. Upon arrival back to drop off the vehicle they make it as quick and painless as possible.

I visited twice in a 2 week period, and was really surprised at just how empty it seemed both times. There just weren't many people flying in/out. Upon my departure, everything was super smooth. They started boarding at exactly the time they were supposed to, closed the door timely, and took off on time too. I would definitely fly into/out of here again.

(3/5) Our experience at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky…read moreInternational Airport on the morning of March 28 was a mix of stress and relief. My husband and I arrived early for our flight, but TSA was an absolute nightmare. The line stretched almost all the way to the parking garage and snaked throughout the terminal. One employee mentioned the wait could be at least 2.5 hours--definitely not what you want to hear before a flight, especially with a connection in New York. We ended up signing up for CLEAR on the spot, which honestly saved us. Even then, it still took about 35 minutes to get through, but that was significantly faster than the regular line. I do want to highlight that the staff were very friendly and helpful, despite clearly being overwhelmed by the volume of travelers. Thankfully, we made it to our gate just in time, but the overall experience was very stressful. Definitely plan extra time if you're flying out of CVG during busy travel periods.

Fortunately Southwest Airlines had a flight that got us back much earlier. The only reason I did not give a 1 is the phone service answered quickly and helped us cancel our flight.

I live about two miles from the airport and the incessant noise is intolerable. FIVE flight schools operate out of Lunken now, and people who are taking flying lessons mostly seem to be on the same practice loop. That means that the loud drone of airplanes is a constant feature of living here and it greatly diminishes quality of life. In looking for where I will move next, a high priority is to be as far away from airports as possible.

My grandfather, who attended with us, told us how he would catch flights from Lunken when he was younger. Some other bits about Lunken's history, from its website: * Columbia, now the area occupied by Lunken Airport, became the first settlement in the Cincinnati area. * In 1927, Charles Lindbergh made his historic non-stop flight across the Atlantic Ocean. He lands at Lunken airfield to and from New York to refuel where he is mobbed by well-wishers. * The Flamingo, one of the first all metal monoplanes built in America, is produced at Lunken by Metal Aircraft Company. * In 1930, formal dedication of Lunken Airport takes place. A three-day celebration includes notables such as Howard Hughes, Jimmy Doolittle, Freddie Lund, Cincinnati Air Corps Reserves and Jean Harlow. Lunken Airport is dedicated as the largest municipal airport in the world. * In the 1940s, American Airlines is born at Lunken Airport. * In 1964, The Beatles arrive at Lunken Airport for their concert at Crosley Field. I wish we had had a chance to go inside the airport when we were there. We'll have to do that another time.

Established in 1919, it is one of the longest continuously operating, general aviation airports in the United States. And it makes me feel like I'm going back in time whenever I visit. I envision gals with finger-wave hairdos, cloche hats and low-waisted skirts and fellas in fedoras and bow ties with slicked back hair -- suitcases in hand -- waiting for flights. Family and friends of the travelers gather in the airport's large lobby. Seriously, if anyone is in need of a period setting for a movie, Bowman Field definitely fits the part. If you get a chance to visit, take some time to look at the photos that line the lobby's walls. I was particularly impressed with the photo of Eleanor Roosevelt when she visited the airport. And from the lobby you can look out onto parked planes and runways. They practically meet the building. Bistro La Relais, which is in the main building as well, provides visitors with a great food option.

When we arrived for an evening check in, there were seven cars in the parking lot but no one was available to check us in at the front desk. As we waited, three other families arrived to check in as well. Called the hotel twice and could hear the phone ring in front of me. Two families left. Called the 1-800 number, but they had no means to contact the hotel directly either. Finally after waiting over twenty minutes, the front desk staff arrived to check us in. Due to COVID, the staff (who are down to eight for the entire hotel) are required to answer the phone, check in and out guests and check the hotel as well. The hotel was good for a quick overnight stay about a mile away from Churchill Downs. No services are available. There is coffee in the room and at the front desk, but again there was no one at the front desk in the morning either. Called the hotel several hours after we left to confirm our earlier departure. Recommended leaving a phone number to call or text for service. Also expressed concerns that anyone could access the hotel when no one is at the front desk for an extended time.
