It is a very clean airport , I could smell the Fabuloso while walking to my gate. Recommend eating before arriving as there is only 1 or 2 non chain food options to choose from.

We chose to fly into Chattanooga from Tampa Bay because of the price difference of flying into Nashville directly, and we also had never been to Chattanooga, so we thought we would spend time there as well.

The airport was originally called Collegedale Air Park and has undergone many upgrades over the years since opening, including having its runway paved and a hanger built. They also built a new terminal building in 2002 and then, in 2008 , it's runway was lengthened to 5003 feet. Furthermore, they offer personal tours and a flight school here for those interested in flying. Collegedale Airport is also a great place to come visit if you just want to come and watch airplanes. So come and get a close up look at airplanes and maybe even take a ride. Just called the airport for details.

They allowed us to use the airport car overnight to make it to our hotel and get back in the morning. They didn't have a hangar available, but they were happy to help us plug in the engines. Terminal was nice and modern. The lobby was gorgeous, and they have a separate Pilot's Lounge and Flight Planning office. There's a computer and phone for use for flight planning. They have women's and men's bathrooms as well as a single unisex bathroom that includes a shower for freshening up if need be. Everybody was very nice there, and we would definitely come back.

Came here for the Air Show. The Thunderbirds came here for this weekend. The entertainment was…read moregreat if not the best. The parking was terrible getting in as I describe it as "malfunction junction". It took one hour to drive one mile. Finally, had to park in the grass area of the airport. Problem. We had to pay $20 for parking yet on the internet it said $10 per car. We also had to pay $20 for admission ticket. Their was no place to sit and had to stand in line for an hour to get bar b q. So,we went out to the truck to rest and watch air show from the comfort of our seats and make use or our tail gate for the first time. Then, just as the Thunderbirds were starting their show, this guy on a "Bad Boys"type vehicle comes up and tells us we can't sit outside in our pickup truck to watch the air show. Yet, hundreds if not thousands were doing it. He fussed at others too but no one did what he said. He wasn't a cop nor did he work for the airport. There's military police, real police and aviation security only a footballs throw away and they didn't say nothing. One of them even came up and talked to us and invited us to ride a helicopter. Most of all, I'm not going back in their and sit on the ground and watch airplanes do stunts. It's my Chevy, my girl friend, and my tail gate. I just spent $120 here and in there, I see no rules at their website nor signs posted. Plus theirs some 40 year old drunks in front of my Silverado playing "toss the football". So, I moved my truck to the fence line where the guy on the "bad boys" type vehicle can't come up and complain to us about sitting in our pickup truck to watch the air show. Anyway, great Thunderbirds show. It was full of all types of entertainment. In summary. air show, helicopter rides, bands playing music, a bar b q festival and to end the day a fireworks show. Wow.

It's a well-oiled machine and, unlike some check in points, I actually look forward to the process here. Ok, quick story. It was an early morning flight in 2025. We drove an hour to the Chattanooga Airport, mostly because we got a great deal and know the routine here. So, I get to the standing scanner and it's easy. I stand with my feet apart and hold my arms over my head in a diamond shape just like on the diagram. I'm confident. The agent tells me to "stick your left leg out." So i do. I hold my foot out in front of me and I'm pretty impressed with my balance at this hour and at my age. (I'm not coordinated or especially athletic.) I keep holding it up. For quite awhile now. I start to wonder what is taking so long. I look over to the agent for clarification. She's doubled over laughing. I am still holding my foot out, like I'm doing the first move in the Hokey Pokey in here at 545am. She tells me that I can put my foot down and just move it over an inch so that it's on top of the little foot outlines on the floor. So, "stick your left leg out" REALLY MEANT to just slide it over an inch. "Have a nice flight, Sir, and thanks for the laugh."

The team is friendly and effective at what they do. They also have some serious equipment working. This was the first full body scanner I had been through.

The TSA officers were very friendly, knowledgeable and great at what they do. They even noticed my Bob's Burgers backpack featuring Tina "Boys, Butts and Unicorns" and complemented me in it.
