Very fast and easy airport to get through. There isn't a lot to do here, but the flights are generally the cheapest you'll find in Ohio.Upvoted Aug 23
My home airport. Very easy to navigate. You can get through security in five minutes or less.Upvoted Sep 20
Christopher LongSeptember 6, 2014They have a "Mother's Room" at gate B13. The bathrooms are clean and updated. They have water fountains with faucets for BYO bottles and clearly marked recycle bins. In all, a very pleasant airport.
Karen RobbinsSeptember 15, 2013First glance there's not much reason to fly here, but it's a good second option for CMH, CVG, or even Indy. Rental cars are cheap($8/day), there's free wifi, no lines, SWA, nice bathrooms, cheap tix!!
Easy airport to park and navigate. I’ve never seen any significant line at security, either. Pretty limited dining options, though.
Dave CounotteNovember 13, 2015Smaller but nice and clean airport. Parking garage right outside the terminal. Looks great after the remodel. Try Boston Stoker. Great coffee while you wait.
Joseph BridgesMarch 11, 2013If you get a rental car, look at your contract before you sign. Make sure there are no extra charges before you leave.
Jonathan RiggsSeptember 19, 2016If you're dropping off a loved one. There's no place to eat while you wait for the flight without going to security. There's a great coffee place, but don't come hungry.
Mike DavisMay 18, 2023Small airport makes for great security check points, super fast. Actually has some nice places to relax. Great experience. People are all very nice.
Crystal BOctober 1, 2013The shoe shine guys by security are great. If your boots need some extra tender loving care the $20 extra shine is worth it.
For those who like to park all the way in the back of the economy lot and walk to the terminal: it was under construction and they had closed the walking pathway! Ask b4 you park there!- My home airport. Needs a great deal of amenities work, but an easy one to navigate.
Friendliest, most helpful staff of any airport I’ve been to. Small, easy to navigate. Short lines. Worth the extra drive
Laura VOctober 30, 2012If you have a little extra time to wait at Dayton International, don't despair. They play the best music in the waiting areas. Get ready for an 80s dance party!
Are you in town for a while? Is it basketball season? If you answered yes to both of these questions, see if the Dayton Flyers are in town. UD Arena is one of the best NCAA venues in the nation.
It’s my hometown airport and one of the easiest to get through security. Proud to be from the birthplace of aviation!
Check out the steel handrails near tsa in front of boston stoker. Hand made by a local dayton artist named hamilton dixon. He also did the hand rails at the art institute downtown

The checkin special at the biz center is a squishy airplane. Grab it and offer to a little kid in your gate area--might stop him screaming & kicking the back of your seat.
Easy to get in and out but I find the TSA very spotty. They try to put everyone through the full scan. Don't show up on a Monday at 6:30A.
Ryan HamiltonOctober 22, 2014Park in the very back of the Economy long-term lot. You can just walk to the airport from there instead of waiting around for the shuttle.
James RodriguezApril 2, 2014Arrived about 45 minutes before or flight and am now sitting at the gate with about 35 minutes before scheduled flight departure. There was one person in front is us when we got to the security lines.
Thea LennaMay 8, 2013Friendly staff (even TSA) and quick security checkpoint. Make sure to try the massage chairs while you are waiting.- Great and easy airport with cheap parking! Worth the drive from Cinci.
BrianApril 12, 2011Wear Dayton Flyers gear, or use a military ID get you through security with smiles and conversations People really are just happy here
StephanieFebruary 26, 2012They play some pretty rockin 80's tunes but I really am weirded out by this stereotyping of all Ohioans in the gift shop? We're not all cow tipping hillbillies.
Hunger PaynesSeptember 13, 2016Food trucks every Tuesday for lunch. 11am until 1pm www.hungerpaynes937.com
Make sure to stop and get gas about five miles out, there is nothing but on ramps and off ramps immediately surrounding the airport.
A RDecember 13, 2014Easy airport to get through both coming and going. Most dining options are just after the security checkpoint.- Boston Stoker, free wifi and easy to get through make for an excellent airport experience.
HealthWarehouseJanuary 27, 2012Remain seated with your seat belt securely fastened and your tray table in the locked position.
Doug WDecember 26, 2016You'd think the birthplace of aviation would have a better airport. Premier Access checkin for United is a disaster, security is easy if you have TSA-Pre, once you're in a whole lot of nothing.
Chanin StegallMarch 12, 2017Give yourself plenty of time. Typical experience is one security line open. Today's backup relate to a TSA agents "broken" radio. Fifteen minutes later issue was resolved by turning on the radio.
Avoid the B Concourse food places, especially in the morning. They are too busy chatting in the back to take customers. Watched ten people walk up for seating at MVP and walk away unserved.
Max weight for luggage is 70lbs at American Airlines ! Plus upgrading to first gives you TWO free bags :)
Sean H.November 7, 2010Stare out the window. Catch a faint glimpse of the arbitrary number written on your right hand from Tims last night. Remember the things you did at UD that weekend.
Parking is getting horrendous here. Economy lot was full this morning. I ended up going to the $15 garage and there were very few spots left.
LogoTVDecember 2, 2010Well this place is wonderful, it takes me to all my bookings far away! A HOT security guard had to check my carry on to see what my breast plate was! - India Ferrah, RuPaul's Drag Race
All the restrooms in section B (it's not big enough to be a terminal) are closed for renovation......hope you can hold it!
My favorite airport! Easy in and easy out and fast thru security.
Fast and nice TSA personnels. Also try Boston Stocker's bagels on your way out or in.
LesleyOctober 24, 2012My fav airport of all time. Never crowded, always friendly staff in my experience.
Great small airport. Very easy to get in and out of security. TSA and friendly also. Very limited in flight options and has mainly CRJ’s flying in and out.
Best airport EVER:) Clean, Friendly, Easy Access Thru Security! What More can u ask for?!
