Online Reviews Summary
Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) generally receives positive feedback from travelers, who often praise its compact size, ease of navigation, and overall efficiency. Many appreciate the quick processing times compared to larger airports, contributing to a relatively stress-free travel experience. However, recurring issues with staff demeanor, particularly within security, and parking availability temper overall satisfaction.
What Travelers Love
- Compact and Easy Navigation: RNO's single terminal layout is frequently highlighted as simple to navigate, making connections and finding amenities straightforward.
- Efficiency and Quick Security: Many travelers report fast and efficient experiences through security, often with minimal wait times, especially during off-peak hours.

Common Complaints
- Rude Staff, especially TSA: A recurring complaint centers around the perceived rudeness or unhelpfulness of some airport and TSA personnel.
- Limited Post-Security Dining/Shopping: While there's a good food and shopping court before security, options past the security checkpoint can be limited for some travelers.
- Parking Challenges: Parking is often in high demand and lots can fill quickly, especially during peak travel seasons, leading to the use of overflow parking and occasional difficulties with shuttle services.
- Loud Slot Machines: For some, the presence of numerous, loud gambling machines throughout the terminal is a minor annoyance.
Overall, Reno-Tahoe International Airport serves as an efficient and well-maintained gateway to the Reno-Tahoe region, particularly valued for its user-friendly layout and quick processing times. Travelers should, however, be prepared for potential parking issues during busy periods and be aware of varying experiences with staff. The airport is undergoing infrastructure development, including a new Ticketing Hall and planned Ground Transportation Center, aiming to enhance the passenger experience further.
