    I agree on the TSA screeners being fast and polite! I caught the TSA attendant in front of me dancing spontaneously and joined him for a mini dance party, we laughed and he wished me a good flight!!

    Very fast screening! Even at 11 am on a Friday, time from walking in the front door to check in to getting past screening was just 10-15 minutes. Kudos to the staff!

    Very easy to navigate as this is a small airport. Best restaurants are la Gloria and vino volo. Can't wait for the new rental car space to open up adjacent to the baggage claim!

    What a great airport. Very easy to get around. TSA is quick, efficient and helpful. Always like flying to and from the San Antonio Int'l Airport. 😁

    If you're parking in the garage, park to the right on any floor for American and Continental, for anything else park to your left. You'll be in-line with your terminal, saving you time.

    Caution and please bring your patience as road construction 🚧 has created delays at the entrance into the airport. You should still arrive early enough to prepare for your departures/arrivals.

    I always hear of people losing their luggage. But everytime I come through this airport, the people in baggage claim give me an extra bag.

    6 am flights always have the longest security lines. Give yourself plenty of time if you want to make your flight. Love the Dunkin Donuts coffee in Terminal 1 too. ☺✈☕

    If you plan to eat before your trip be sure and log on to the free wifi and check for coupons. It is on the homepage when you accept the terms for the wifi. Love the free wifi. Wish other had it!

    If you are in transit to shift floors to pick your Rental Car, Baggage, Ticketing, Check in, I highly recommend to use the elevators. They are less confusing than using the electric stairs.

    TSA is courteous and helpful, lots of outlets for charging, free WiFi that works, and a San Antonio Public Library kiosk where you can charge your device while downloading a free book rental.

    Some rental car companies might require a phone call for the shuttle. Also get there as early as possible when departing, even if it requires sitting at the bar for an extra hour. ;)

    Terminal B is superior to A in many ways. One reason is that the sink faucets in Terminal B have a full stream whereas A's faucets comes out at an Eco-friendly trickle.

    Relatively easy to get in and out of. It'll be a lot better once the onsite rental car facility is completed.

    In the event of severe weather such as a tornado or hurricane, get over to the B gates and take shelter.

    Simply Fantastic! This Int'l airport is not overcrowded, but surely it is well-organized. Also, going through security is pretty fast. Thumbs up!

    There is a Raising Cane's in the terminal. If you haven't had it, definitely try it. Started in Louisiana. Chicken known for their great sauce

    Most of the restaurants are just past security. Try some Raising Canes chicken strips. Delicious. Airport is a relatively short ride from downtown.

    No major delays, no long lines at TSA check points. As a matter of fact TSA is very efficient here. Plenty of parking. Plenty of signage to guide you through. Get in, wait, eat, and fly out.

    Best airport ever, wait lines at the check-in desk and immigration are short and fast. Restrooms are as clean as it gets, free wifi and charging stations everywhere.

    If departures car drop off line is long - get dropped off in Arrivals and take the escalator up to check-in. This saved me so much time.

    Free wifi! And tons of electrical outlet plugs underneath all the lounge seats! What is this magical place? At LAX, I had to fight thru crowds to get a plug to charge my phone! SA airport, ftw!

    Fly American Airlines or United. They both utilize Terminal B — which is very nice, has power outlets on every seat and has very nice curbside, check-in and TSA staff. And it's rarely crowded.

    Make sure you download the coupons once you sign in to use the free wifi. You can get discounts at pretty much all the shops and restaurants in both terminals...

    One of the most efficient TSA spots. Typically, even with high traffic, I have no problems with getting through check in to gate within 60 mins.

    Apparently you can only have pointer qt sized bag of liquids..thought I'd have to choose between my Mary Kay and my mouthwash. I almost fainted. Shoved them all in one. TSA agent was kind. 1 bag!

    Everything's bigger in TX - especially security lines. Get there very early. Apparently they have no idea how many people need the get through security at 6 AM. People are missing flights AGAIN

    Have your ride pick you up on the upper level at Terminal 2. Use the escalator behind the USO in Baggage Claim or just walk straight out if you carried on.

    There is a big difference with other airports like Houston's, for international travelers, the Customs officers come After you retrieve your luggage, so be careful and be patient.

    If you can pack a carry on you can by pass check in and head straight to the security checkpoint. Sunday is very busy as early as 5 am.

    The priority screening security line is a bit difficult to find, but it's spectacular! I got in line and was through security in about 2 minutes. Nice work!
