What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

Recent traveler sentiment at Altus Air Force Base (KLTS) appears to be a mix of appreciation for efficient base operations and challenges related to its remote location. While the base offers necessary services and manageable security, the surrounding area provides limited entertainment and activities for those stationed there.

What Travelers Love

Efficient Security and Immigration: Travelers report relatively short wait times, with TSA Security estimated at 27-31 minutes and Immigration/Passport Control at approximately 8 minutes.
Space-Available (Space-A) Travel Opportunities: The base offers Space-A flights, providing military personnel and their families with a cost-effective travel option, although availability can be irregular.
Improved Gate Security Flow: Recent adjustments to security forces presence at the main gates have reportedly decreased morning rush hour wait times.
On-Base Amenities: The base provides various dining options, including Galaxy Grill, Club Altus, Charlie's, Dark Horse Sports Bar, and Wild Brew Yonder (Coffee), as well as a Commissary.
Recreational Opportunities: Altus AFB has established partnerships for off-base recreational activities, such as camping trailers at Lake Altus, offering an escape for Airmen and their families.

Common Complaints

Remote Location and Limited Local Activities: Many travelers, particularly military personnel, describe Altus as "quaint" or "in-the-middle-of-nowhere," with a perceived lack of entertainment and activities outside the base.
Irregular Space-A Flights: While available, Space-A flights from Altus AFB are not regular due to its primary role as a training base, requiring flexibility from travelers.
Housing Concerns: Some reviews indicate that on-base housing may not be optimal, and off-base housing options can be overpriced.
Visitor Access Procedures: Non-military visitors require a pass from the 97th Security Forces Squadron Pass and Identification Office and undergo background checks, which can be a process, and often necessitate a sponsor.

Overall, Altus Air Force Base efficiently manages travel for its personnel with relatively quick security processes and offers a range of on-base facilities. However, the geographic isolation and limited external attractions are consistent points of dissatisfaction among those stationed or traveling through the base.
