Don't get lost at their one concourse and 12 gates! In a hurry? Don't worry, security lines are usually short and quick.
Beautiful, friendly, well serviced 12-gate airport for its size.
Free so-fin and rows of seats (that face outside) with power strip bars is great.
Chad EverettAugust 14, 2011This is one of my fav. airports. Clean, Efficient and Fast. Now if only it were international...
Love the airport. It's not too big but has wifi, restaurants and rocking chairs!
Quiznos are hard to come by in East Tennessee. You better get your toasted bread on before you leave.
Wifi, rocking chairs, fast, & easy. Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge are just around the corner!

Kai TechnolustJune 8, 2014Nice small airport, but could use a few more GIDS. Kept having to leave my seat to see the display.
- Jim LehnhoffOctober 7, 2010The garlic and cheddar biscuits at Ruby Tuesdays are delicious. Surprisingly so.
Between 5-10 minutes are spent at security lane, even in the busiest day of this airport:)
Hang out at the Starbucks round table to make friends!
Emily N.December 27, 2014Tiny airport. No food before security, so easy with loved ones before they fly outside the airport.
Good airport. It just takes a few minutes to get over the strip searches. Man I hate those.
Great, easy security. Their attitude is "We're here to help you!"
Love the smallness of TYS...makes it easy for the elderly to manage.

"What an excellent meal for being in an airport! We split the sirloin and fresco chicken entrees and they were both perfect. Try the holiday sangria while it lasts."
