Cute, small airport. Close to Liberty University. Easy parking and car return.
One issue... 2 visits in a row, the ONLY drink vending machine after security was "Out of Order". There is NO store, nor restaurant after security. You can go back through security to get a soda, but it must be finished before you go back through security.
The only way to get anything to drink after security is to use a downstairs single water fountain.
The only major thing going for this airport is its size. Because it is so small, TSA is easy. But, there aren't that many departures, and all flights are American Eagle to Charlotte.
The airport itself is nicely maintained and easy to get to, if you have a car or a shuttle.
Expensive airport to fly into or out of. American Airlines has a monopoly on all flights --- which only go to Charlotte and passengers connect from there. Understaffed at ticket counter and usually gate workers. Highly recommend using Roanoke or Richmond Airport with is cheaper due to more airline competition, and has proper staffing and better handling of irregular operations (mechanical/equipment issues, weather problems, etc.) American Airlines is pathetic and all flights are operated by contractors who are rude.
This airport is a dream. Getting in and out is easy and the airport is modern and clean convenient. Parking is right across from the entrance. Airport is very convenient to Liberty University and Lynchburg University. For a small airport, it has a lot of great features including multiple rental car companies.
Must show up 20 minutes prior to flight boarding (not departing) . U should arrive 40 minutes b4 ur flight to ensure boarding if u only have carry on. U should arrive 1 hour 15 minutes before to ensure luggage boards with u.
