Arnold Palmer Regional Airport

My family and I had a wonderful experience for the second time with Spirit Air. I recommend it!

This may be my favorite airport in America. And not because it’s beautiful or has a million amenities or anything like that, but because it’s efficient, small, and the easiest airport I’ve ever gone to.
Let me say this. This is not an international airport and I guess it shouldn’t be compared to one. I flew Spirit out of this airport and while flying that airline can be stressful enough flying out of the airport itself was a breeze. There is one TSA check point which literally takes seconds to walk through. Personally, it took me longer to get my shoes off than the overall process took.
Once through you walk downstairs and that’s it. The terminal kind of looks like a doctor’s office waiting area, but with luggage. I saw three gates. Yes three. There was a small eatery in the downstairs and I believe there is an actual restaurant attached to the airport as well.
It just is a no stress place. The bathrooms were clean and the agents were friendly. I will only fly where when I go home but I wish I had more reasons to fly in and out of this airport because it’s such an easy place to go.

It’s the bomb !!
That’s what the kids say
It’s quick comfortable simple no hassle
And it’s adjacent to Pittsburgh which is great
For Canadians a great value conscious airport !!
Parking easy
Parking free!!!
Oh and safe safe safe
Arnold palmers little town with lots to do outdoors on summer also
Stay at his hotel next door if you come overnight

Great small airport that I fly into near my
Parents. Beats flying into Pittsburgh International and driving over an hour and sometimes in traffic. Security is fast here and everyone kind, don’t need much time to get anywhere since this airport is so small. Parking and shuttle is free too. Where does that happen?

I have flown in/​out of this airport over the last week and I have to say it was a refreshing experience! Sure it’s tiny and in the middle of nowhere but I would defiantly prefer the short lines and kind people over the convince of Pittsburgh International. Check-​in and security took 15 mins… parking is free :-) My only advice is don’t show up too early as there is NOTHING to do.

Free parking!!! Can I get a woot woot??? Check in was quick and going through the gate was a breeze. They are very efficient! Don’t come here expecting what a large major airport would offer and you’ll be fine. Spirit serves this airport and while I’m not thoroughly happy with them (see my review), I’ve decided I will fly with them and carry on my luggage next time.
It’s really nice to have money saving options for travel outside of Pittsburgh.

Decided to take a gamble and fly Spirit Airlines to Vegas. Was a little skeptical with all the reviews I have read and the things Ive heard from other people.
Parking was a breeze and with a shuttle service to the front door was nice. And don’t forget PARKING IS FREEEEE!!!
First of all this airport is real small and does not have a lot to offer as in shops and things to do or see like the Pittsburgh International Airport. I like this airport bc it takes me 45mins to get here from my house. TSA is a breeze and virtually no lines. It was very organized and no issue boarding the plane. The flight was on time and no other issues I can think of for our trip out to Vegas. No issues with our luggage either.
The trip home was pretty much painless as well. Baggage claim was quick and easy. While my wife waited for the luggage I got our car. Theres a shuttle service but i decided to walk. By the time I got to my car and drove to the loading/​unloading area my wife was there with the bags and ready.
All in all, it was a positive experience with Spirit and Arnold Palmer Airport. I would fly with them again. Rates were cheap and it was a positive experience.

As a first time flyer, I was very nervous and didn’t know what to expect, however I was not disappointed.
I flew from Latrobe to Vegas, and I highly recommend it. The ladies at the airport were friendly and helpful. Security checks went pretty fast also.
Although we experienced a good amount of turbulence, the take off and landing were both very smooth.
On my way too Vegas we had the privilege of having Tony as our flight attendant whom we were later notified was his first week. Spirit keep ahold of this one because you could have never told he was new.
Very kind and helpful.
However I was a little disappointed with the small leg room between seats and the fact that my seat didn’t recline. The snacks and drinks they sell are also very handy. Inconvenient that they only take card, but still a nice gesture.
Both down and back we arrived early. All in all very pleased and will be flying with spirit again in the future!

Nice little airport, I flew in from Chicago, O’Hare is always a mess this was pretty easy, low key and very friendly
there was an issue with our reservations for our car and the guy at Enterprise took care of us he saw what kind of bind we were in, he helped us out big time!!! their customer service is great I would definitely use these guys again

We chose this airport because it is closer to our home than Pittsburgh, Philly or BWI. Spirit Airlines is the WORST. Flying out they cancelled our flight for no reason or explanation. On the way home they delayed the flight several hours. This was our tipping point, no more budget carriers. Terrible customer service.

This place gets 1 star because of the airline that it services. Spirit Airline is AWFUL. Yes the airfare is cheap, but you get what you pay for. Flight delays, cancellations, terrible customer service. They lost our car seat for our 6 week old daughter (and it was a direct flight). So we return home from Chicago, tired and ready to get home, and we can’t leave because we have nothing to put the baby in. The airline does not care, nor do they offer any kind of assistance in the matter. So as we speak, I am sitting in this rinky-​dink airport with my exhausted and angry newborn BY MYSELF while my husband drives half an hour away to buy a new car seat so we can then drive home. The airline says «they think» we can get reimbursed for the lost one, but we have to fill out a complaint form online and wait at least 6 weeks — -minimum — to get reimbursed. Bullsh*t. Save yourself the hassle and just fly out of Pittsburgh. It may cost more, but it’s worth it.

Good small town America airport. The general aviation side is very busy with two first class fixed base operators. Parking is convenient and easy to navigate. Spirit and allegiant operate flights in and out of the airport.

Don’t arrive too early. I was bored As balls waiting for my flight. Process was fairly smooth. Just because I prefer going to Pittsburgh international I probably won’t be back here unless their prices plummet which probably won’t happen lol

Worst customer service I have EVER received!!! Will never use this airport again and I’ve been using it since it opened. Bag was lost. Tried calling ALL day the next day and leaving several voicemails and was never able to speak to a real life human. Drove an hour out of frustration to see if had came in and it did. Never got a phone call or a call back. My flight out of Pittsburgh is less than 48 hours from now so if I wouldn’t have drove to see what was going on I would’ve never have gotten it back. Their excuse? «We don’t answer phones or voicemails when the concierge is off.» Never again!

I totally enjoy the smaller size of this airport — sometimes good things do come in small packages. For elderly people this location is easier to navigate — free parking — a few steps to the inside of the building —comfortable seating — an on-​site eating establishment — and televisions. No complaints from this traveler and hopefully my parents will consider flying more often now with this option not too far from their home.

This airport needs to reconsider having a company like Spirit Airlines service it !!!
This is more about SPIRIT AIRLINES than Arnold Palmer Airport
Awful Customer service — — They cancelled our flight this morning… NO BIG DEAL, weather is unpredictable like that. Now comes the fun, we can fly you into Tampa 2 days from now and Spirit will not give you credit for the 2 days of hotel you missed out on… WHAT??? So they could fly us into Orlando tomorrow, that’s a little better — -But when we get to Orlando, you will have to PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR and drive 90 miles to Tampa to pick up your RENTAL CAR AT TAMPA AIRPORT. HAHAHA !!! Thought I was being Punk’d FOR A MOMENT — - Gets even better, because their only flight back now comes on Saturday instead of Friday — they wanted us to pay the extra day for the hotel… Call me crazy but we are already paid for 4 nights, were missing our 1ST night because you cancelled the flight, so our price went from 4 nights to 3 nights and because their flight doesn’t leave until the following day, the hotel tells us $ 229 EXTRA because we now can’t fly out until Saturday… HORRIBLE customer service and people, check out their reviews for other cities —-Want a cheap flight — BEWARE !!! FIRST AND LAST TIME CUSTOMER

Had a great experience. Everyone that works here is very polite and super accommodating … It’s hard to find airports like this. Love it wish I could come back. Hopefully I can through my business travels

This airport is like a blast from the past. The parking is free. You can walk straight through the airport with no ID, up some stairs, and onto an outdoor patio that looks out onto the loading area for the 3 gates in the terminal. Though they did get one of those walkway things that can attach to a plane, they don’t use it, instead requiring people to waddle up a steep flight of stairs to board the plane, and down to exit, which is fine if you’re in good health and it’s nice outside. The lines to check your bag can be a bit long — everyone that has a child and its related paraphernalia has to get their baby seats and strollers tagged and that seems to take forever. So far as I can tell the airport only runs Spirit flights and some charter trips on smaller (7−15pp) planes to casinos. Wednesday is «Pastabilities» night in the airport restaurant, so that’s fun.

This airport continues to serve an increasing amount of flights offered by the low cost airline spirit. The no frills flights are attractive to flyers looking to an inexpensive way to get to Orlando, myrtle beach, and soon Dallas. Because of the increase of flights, the terminal feels cramped, but certainly does a good job of handling passengers. Never a long wait for security screening and free parking, make this airport a great alternative to pittsburgh. There are two rental car companies onsite, as well as a full service restaurant. The restaurant also operates a snack bar in the secure passenger area.
When flying spirit air, come prepared with a printed boarding pass and the required fees paid ahead of time. This will save you from experiencing any unexpected issues. And travel light. Bag fees add up fast. But overall, Spirit provides a great travel experience.

This is a small regional airport with service through Spirit Airlines traveling to Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, FL. Only service to Orlando is daily. The fares are very cheap since it is a discount airline, but be sure to follow the rules since everything has an additional charge: carryon bags, checked bags (more expensive for more bags), and all drinks and food on flight.
Parking is free at the airport and they have a nice restaurant and bar on the second floor that is open to the public. The restaurant seems to do a strong business for the community outside air travelers.
The property is small and due to the recent popularity of the flights they offer, it seemed crowded beyond it’s capacity when visiting.
