Free WiFi and outlets everywhere. I don't need outlets because I use Samsung devices #DontBeAWallHugger
This place has been under construction for so long it should look like the Sistine Chapel once it's complete. The TSA agents have been surprisingly friendly the last few times I've been through here.
Did you know? Columbus is home to 6 Fortune 500 companies
Radka MeyerFebruary 2, 2014Do long term valet parking at the Parking spot. They drive you straight up to the curbside drop off right in front of the airline terminals. No shuttle needed.
Ample power outlets and desks with outlets are a tech lover's dream. Free wifi doesn't require registration and works well. Luggage claim takes a long time compared to other airports.
Probably one of my favorite airports. The outlets are numerous, the wifi of fast and free, and it's not hectic or overly busy.
Make sure you remove all items before going through security. Even if you think an ID or belt won't matter, it does. Don't delay your travel or the travel of others.
Krysten LeCroneJanuary 14, 2011Try the FAST TRACK vallet parking... They will ride in your car, drop you of and they will drive your car back to their lot. Just call them when you land and drop your car off!
Teresa CisnerosAugust 25, 2013Use the ticketing & all gate baggage underneath elevator saves you time :-)
Love this airport. Free wi-fi & it's never busy, even during holidays. You should be fine arriving an hour before your flight time.
Look for the Jenis ice cream vending machines! A perfect treat to bring on the plane
Eat at the bar at max and ermas. Th male bartender in the evenings is excellent. I've eaten at other sit down places there and the food and service is the quickest and friendliest at cmh

If you park on level four of the long term garage, you can walk straight into the terminal without going all the way down to the dungeon level.
Chris KlockeOctober 3, 2012Plenty of outlets to plug in your electronics. Free Wi-Fi throughout the airport. Wish other airports would follow their lead!
MashableSeptember 15, 2011Thanks to reader Gretchen Schneider for adding this to our list of airports with free wi-fi. Lots of outlets for gadget charging too!- staci cooper-hoffmannJune 10, 2011When dropping off people for flights be sure to bring the kids and a picnic lunch to enjoy while u all watch the planes come n go. Cheap fun!
Don't count on the Southwest "Fly By" lane saving you any time. They let anyone use it and the line is just as long as the regular one. TSAs need to monitor this like other airports do.
Tom TracyFebruary 16, 2012You get though security really fast. No hurry getting here. Dropped my brother off 25 minutes till flight time because of how relaxed it is. He made the flight with ease.
The Delta terminal has power outlets and the WiFi is great. Awesome for business travelers.- You can take public transportation to the OSU campus but it'll take about an hour to get there.
Maybe it's the free wifi, or the invisibly competent staff, but this airport just feels like it has its shit together. Always a pleasure, CMH.
Drew DavidsonMay 12, 2012Great airport. Free Wifi, power outlets everywhere. People if you don't like TSA's scanning then drive a car. TSA is great, keeps us safe.
Michelle SchenkerDecember 5, 2011Check out Centerberg while you're visiting the Columbus area - but don't blink as you drive through this center-of-the-state metropolis! ;)
The taxi operators are crabby about taking credit cards. This seems counterintuitive as it makes me less likely to want to give a good tip.
When picking up an unaccompanied minor make sure you get your gate number...they try to pass it off in each gate. Other than that, uneventful and an easy process.- Security line passes by so quick, even when the line is so long you can’t see the security stuff, atleast at the southwest terminal.
Pre security Max & Ermas for warm cookies and Wolfgang Pucks in B Terminal post security for yummy goodness!
Don't eat the crab rangoons at the buckeye café. Recent complaints have been made to the Columbus department of health and I can vouch firsthand for the validity of said grievances.
Be sure to give yourself at least an extra 30 minutes here now. They are using full body scanners now and have only one per concourse. You must remove ALL metal objects from your person!
Free, reliable Wifi, clean, not too big or crowded.
Fallon | Sage + SparkleNovember 12, 2013Blown away by the fact that all seats in the terminal have an outlet and there is free wifi!
Chris CorpusFebruary 24, 2013Charging stations are scattered all over the airport, so take advantage of them before you get to the next airport where everyone's fighting for outlets!
Ben BlakeDecember 14, 2011Since you have time to check in, take some time to grab a cup of joe at Cup of Joe, right before the entrance to the main terminal.
Ground crews in Columbus are seriously among the slowest in the country. Takes forever to get ramps in place and bags offloaded. 😴
Eric GonzalezSeptember 5, 2014What I like about this airport is that you don't have to take a shuttle for the car rentals. Everything is close by
Kathleen HessertAugust 18, 2011Concourse B has great little work area with large tables and sunlight to accomplish stuff. Very quiet and next to massage bar
Erol PalantekinNovember 3, 2013Cup O Joe good coffee and convenient - but the green remote lot is the best deal!- Plentiful power outlets, free wifi, easy in & out. No connection between concourses though...you'll have to go through security again.

This airport is awesome, almost every seat got a charging station (including USB) and the airport has free wifi. Why can't every airport be on the same level?
Security check points are usually pretty quick and TSA agents seem friendlier in Columbus!
Jessica KuhnJune 18, 2013Want a beer or a good place to grub? Ask me! This is my hometown! @Just_Jess38 on Twitter
CMH wi-fi has just gotten better and better. Take advantage!
Give some time for security. Not the fastest but very pleasant TSA folks!

"There is an ice cream vending machine on the way out. It is Jeni's, probably the best ice cream in Ohio. Worth trying. Definitely visit their shop in columbus."
