- Brian StraussMay 19, 2016Not a ton of services on offer here, but a beautiful little Spanish hacienda airport none the less. Easy to get in and out of which is really all that matters.Upvote42Downvote

- Lynn HargroveOctober 29, 2011Wish the outdoor balcony with the great views was still available. No prolems with security at 10 am on a fall Saturday! Hope the rest of the day is as easy ... Nice selection of wines @ newsstand.Upvote5Downvote

- pamela gormanJanuary 25, 2013Make sure you have umbrella in hand. If it rains, there is no way to get to and from transportation and parking without getting soaked.Upvote1Downvote
- Josh HayesJuly 15, 2011Security is crazy. if you are traveling with a small child(ren) buckle up for some shenanigans! The stroller didn't fit in the xray machine, so they searched it by hand, including a chem wipe check :)Upvote1Downvote
- Amy BJuly 30, 2013Prettiest airport. Serene. Artsy. Empty. Take note of the glass jetways. Ocean views. Give 5 minutes to the Airport Ambassador. She's a wealth of information.Upvote5Downvote
