What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

Eppley Airfield (OMA) generally receives positive traveler sentiment, often praised for its small size and easy navigability, making for a relatively stress-free experience. Travelers frequently highlight the efficiency of security and the convenience of getting around. However, the airport is currently undergoing a significant modernization program, "Build OMA," which aims to address some long-standing complaints, particularly regarding amenities.

What Travelers Love

Ease of Navigation & Compact Size: OMA is frequently lauded for being a smaller, user-friendly airport that is easy to get through quickly.
Efficient Security: Security wait times are typically short, often 5-10 minutes for regular screening and generally under 5 minutes for TSA PreCheck.
Abundant Charging Stations: The airport is noted for having many conveniently located and functioning charging stations in gate areas.
Variety of Parking Options: Eppley Airfield offers a range of parking, including Premier Parking, South/North Garages (covered with skywalks), Rooftop options, and more economical South/North Economy Lots with shuttle service. Pre-booking through ParkOMA is recommended for discounts and guaranteed spots.

Common Complaints

Limited Food and Retail Options: A recurring complaint is the lack of diverse and high-quality food choices post-security, though the "Build OMA" program aims to introduce new restaurants and retail.
Seating for Extended Stays: Many seats, especially for overnight stays, have immovable armrests, making comfortable rest difficult.
Construction Disruptions: Ongoing modernization efforts can lead to temporary changes in drop-off areas, potentially adding a few minutes to transit times, though parking garages themselves are not directly impacted.
Lack of Airport Lounges: There are no pay-to-use airport lounges available at OMA.

Overall, Eppley Airfield is a convenient and generally pleasant airport for travelers, particularly for those valuing efficiency. The extensive "Build OMA" modernization program, slated for completion in 2028, is expected to significantly enhance facilities, amenities, and the overall passenger experience, addressing current shortcomings like food options and potentially adding commercial international flight capabilities with new customs facilities.
