Passengers often describe it as a small, efficient, and user-friendly airport, though some mixed reviews exist regarding customer service experiences.

What Travelers Love

Convenient Amenities: The updated terminal offers a range of amenities, including ample seating with charging stations at every seat, a private Mother's Room, a pet relief area, a Free Little Library, and accessible restrooms.

On-site parking options, including a covered garage and surface lots, are available and generally seen as affordable and close to the terminal. Car rental agencies are also available on-site.

Common Complaints

Limited Airline Options and Destinations: A recurring complaint is the limited number of airlines (primarily United) and direct flight destinations compared to larger regional airports like Omaha (OMA). The recent cessation of Red Way services further reduced options.
Inconsistent TSA Procedures (occasional): While generally positive, some reviews mention inconsistent TSA security procedures, potentially leading to confusion or unexpected searches.
Potential for Crowding: Despite its smaller size, some travelers have experienced the airport becoming crowded, which can impact the travel experience.

Overall, Lincoln Airport presents itself as a significantly improved and traveler-friendly regional airport, particularly following its recent renovations. Its focus on modern amenities, cleanliness, and efficient processes makes it a strong choice for those flying to and from the Lincoln area, despite the relatively limited flight options.
