Comfortable chairs and power outlets available near Gate 5. Go upstairs, then make U-turn to the right.Upvoted Feb 23
Laurie HeggieOctober 29, 2015Nice to have a parking lot shuttle when you first get to the airport, but frustrating that the shuttle hangs out at the edges of the parking lot and won't come around to pick up arrivals.
YiannisJune 6, 2012What nice folk they are, in Bloomington. They provide envelopes for you to mail your TSA-restricted items back to yourself.
Retro CampaignsJanuary 12, 2012If you look closely at the bronze Adlai Stevenson statue here, you’ll see a scuffed hole on the bottom of his shoe, a reference to a famous photograph taken during the 1952 Presidential campaign. Read more
- Great place to plug in on upper level. Chairs with table and plugs.
Jesse LittleAugust 28, 2014Ever since swarm took over foursquare nobody reads these anyways. Also ask the TSA agent how long it takes for peyote and acid dipped mushrooms to take effect.
Taylor T.January 7, 2020Take advantage of the free long term parking and short wait times by flying via BMI.
Super small and cozy airport. It reminds me of the Sarasota airport.
Vijay RamanMarch 20, 2011Free parking and the shuttle rocks. It may be faster to walk to the terminal than taking the shuttle sometimes.
Shay PriceDecember 16, 2013Easiest Airport ever. From the parking lot to the gate is 15 minutes tops.
Ask the coffee shop guy for a $6.00 coffee. He will know who it came from.
Delta has improved! Better customer service, flights are on time. Free parking and wi-fi. An hour prior to departure is ok unless around holidays make it 2 hours. Don't pack keys in checked luggage...- Good parking, easy check-in, and relaxed atmosphere. Frontier starts on May 18!
MikeJanuary 2, 2013Couldn't agree more with the AirTran tip, but now they've pulled AirTran out if this airport, so you are stuck with Delta, AA, or Frontier. Want a good tip? Drive to Midway and take Southwest, LOL
Very small airport, allow at least 11 minutes to get thru security (oh yeah, that includes a restroom trip, getting a coffee, and the long 47 yard walk to the gate...
Deanna LaubJanuary 22, 2011If you are flying from here you do NOT need to get here 2 hours in advance! An hour is just fine!
Kevin KozlenApril 23, 2011Was told to get a CIRA Rewards card... Get enough points and get free parking up close.
Vicki TiltonSeptember 30, 2011You can now cocktail on the secure side!! If theere's a delay...who knows!"
Need a taxi? There's a list of numbers taped to the pay phone to the left of the Hertz counter.
Has plenty of places to charge laptops and phones including USB outlets.
Mallory LaneJune 9, 2012Security is rude. After finally getting them to unlock a door so we can leave the airport you get yelled at for opening said door after they tell you it's unlocked and to open it.
If your only doing carry on you can arrive 40 minutes prior for baggage I say an hour.
Touring the ATC tower with the Boy Scout troop is very cool!
Nick GossJanuary 16, 2013You have to phone for a taxi. They don't wait outside. Ext 10 from a courtesy phone beyond baggage claim. Allow 25 minutes for it to arrive.
- Be sure to thank the TSA agent after they pat you down.
- Arriving flights can't get into the terminal after 10 pm
The coffee on the 2nd floor is often empty. Check there is coffee before putting money in!
