CraftBeer in Madison area is best in US. Great Dane has best beer & food in airport.Drink Local when in Madtown. You can drink your Miller & Anheiser Busch swill when you land elsewhere.
Easy parking, quickest TSA Pre check in the country, short walk to the gate, no crowds, my favorite airport!Upvoted Oct 21
New TSA Pre-Check available. No shoes off. No laptops out. Just put it all on the belt and walk thru. Love it!
Kevin SavageMay 23, 2013Security at the south end of the terminal is very quick and efficient ... Friendliest TSA folks at any airport that I've been to ever...Upvoted 1 week ago
They have nice Comfy couches past security and if you forgot your cheese head, don't fret!!
Josh BublitzJuly 20, 2015Excellent TSA group. I'm a diabetic that carries needles and they are always the nicest to work with.
Carrie Harrell-PaytonMarch 5, 2019Very friendly crew. Not an extremely large airport. Easy to get around. Very nice and upscale restaurants and bars. Lines were not long and my flight was on time.
Andrew WisemanMarch 5, 2012They sell cheese curds at the CNBC store. Related, who actually watches CNBC?
The yellow cabs are part of a worker owned coop. The drivers and staff own their company on a one member on vote basis, which is why the have health care. Support worker coops and take a Union Cab.
Wow, these epic consulting company ads are everywhere...they are trying really hard to recruit epic kids and get epic clients....Nordic, sagacious, symphony, orchestrate, divergent, physician ptners!
Now has water bottle filling stations with cold water. Bring your empty bottle through security and fill up before boarding.
Don't forget to donate too the troops when you come through the gift shop. All items you donate are sent to the 115th fighterwing of the air national guard right next door!!
Love the jazz plying in the terminals. This is the best place to listen to jazz music in Madison.
Small easy to get around airport. Most people go up to the TSA checkpoint in the center of the terminal.. But if you have TSA pre check.. It's quicker to walk to the end of the terminal and go up.
Can easily drive up to pick up family and friends from the curb. Calling and getting into an Uber is also super easy
Excellent airport. Clean and everyone is friendly. Security is extremely efficient.
As clean as airport can be. Great Dane in the terminal. Security lines are short, TSA crew is much more friendly than most. I don't want to light myself on fire after sitting down in this airport.- One of BEST (if not THE best) airports to fly in/out of. Friendliest TSA, and comfy leather couches open to all!
Such an easy airport to travel in and out of. I love that you can watch the F-16 jets take off from the shared runways!
Zoe SymonMay 5, 2014Some of the best art I've ever seen in an airport. Real prints from Tandem Press instead of cheap replicas of boring art!
Metcalfe's opened a new food stand near gate 8. It's got great natural and healthy options for snacks and meals.
There's TSA pre if you qualify. I love you, TSA pre.
It's possible to bike to this airport via paths. and bike parking is covered and free. Best airport parking deal anywhere.
Curt ReesApril 5, 2013The TSA staff here was very friendly. We had our two kids with us and the staff was patient and helpful.- Why wait at your gate? Enjoy one of the squishy comfy recliners or couches between gates 5 & 4 before your flight. #naptime
Use BMO bank? Free ATM to the left of the Great Dane. Need a Cheesehead? Grab one at the gift shop on the way to baggage.
Fastest (regional) airport to get through. Fast security. Don't have to walk far to your gate 😂
There's a Great Dane Pub inside the security checkpoint that makes waiting for your flight far more enjoyable
Michelle MossMay 2, 2014Security is super friendly! while you're visiting Madison, try the "Spotted Cow" beer...
Flying into or out of this airport? Plan for delays to/from. We now make the 1hr drive to MKE to minimize issues. On the bright side, it's so small that you'll be through security in a blink!
Lavanya MohananMarch 10, 2014Delta agents are awesome...suggested south terminal for faster security on a Monday morning!- If you have time stop at the Great Dane and sample some awesome local brews. I'm partial to the Crop Circle Wheat myself.
You can get a 20 oz. Beer and beer bread at the Great Dane for $10!
The area near gates 11-13 is great for watching planes/weather and is relatively quiet.
Generally no need to show up super early as the check in and security lines are usually small.
Spencer StrikerNovember 10, 2011Get to the airport early so u can get into ur seat and sit smugly and self-importantly as others struggle to squeeze in
- Find a nice chair to sit in. There are comfortable ones around
If you like dark roast coffee, don't miss the 'black thunder' blend. It's worth the trip.
Fly in at night, sit first class and make sure it's a charter jet.
Easy airport to get in and out of. The food options have got much better.
Bus route information available at counter near baggage claim. Schedule also posted on shelter, across road from Door 6.
- Stop at the Great Dane for a Bloody Mary or beer
- If you have an early morning flight use security checkpoint at south end of terminal--rarely a line. Open Til 7 am
This is my favorite airport of all time! Quiet, small, easy to park, rent car, drop off. Wish the cost were a bit cheaper.
For international flights, 90 minutes is MORE than enough time to check in!
Marty O.December 10, 201440 mins wheels up to touchdown from MSP, beats 4.5 hours in a car going thru 'deer alley'
