What happened this morning TSA at cherry capital airport? Incompetence of airport staff and AA with only one checkpoint open and two departing 6 am flights caused 15 people to miss their flight. This should not happen at an airport this size!
For private aviation, the AVFLIGHT FBO and Sherry make you feel welcome and they handle all the details with great professionalism. Both full serve and self serve AVGAS prices are very good. One of the best FBO experiences I've had.
Great airport, easy in & easy out. Though you should extend flights & the direct flights to Minneapolis in the winter months. Also, you should move your smoking area AWAY from the front doors. While waiting to pick up my husband, I didn't enjoy breathing in others smoke. Thank you!
Super easy Regional Airport! Great to fly into for anyone going into Northern Michigan and Mackinac!
Nice little airport but unfortunately the lounge TV is set to a one-sided news network. Can't you set to weather channel or ESPN? Only food is past security.
Nicely decorated. Staff is nice.
Parking lot is weirdly organized, but in good condition.
I love this comfortable little airport. It's northern Michigan. Expect delays and cancellations during winter. You can't fight against the elements.
Notorious for delaying and canceling flights. Unless flying in and out during summer months, I wouldn't recommend this airport. Driving to Grand Rapids or Detroit is a much better bet if you want a flight that leaves on time, or even leaves at all. Employees can be very rude or even snobby.
I'm not a gold member so I don't have the immediate go to the car and go package, cover check in here was very fast you can walk to your car without getting on the shuttle bus the Nissan Ultima I rented was very clean and new. Return was easy just a key drop him fill out the mileage and gas level, they email you the receipt when you're done.
Nice terminal. Served by several national airlines. Can be delays in the winter but it's northern Michigan, better safe than sorry. Not like it's the airport's call when to delay flights. Overall we've had a good experience. Sure you can save money driving down state and flying from a hub airport but who wants to drive all that way to save $100 on tickets only to pay more for gas and parking fares?
The first long term parking entrance is blocked at the ticket dispenser with a note you cannot see in the dark. There is no warning it is closed until you are at the gate. STUPID. STUPID design to have both short & long term parking use the same drive. You cannot back up and must go through short term exit and go all the way around to the second long term entrance. WARN drivers before they get to entrance 1 about long term parking. THIS parking situation was very frustrating and very lame.
Then the Delta gate PA system was broken and no one could hear the gate agent at boarding. Not a good impression for a so called nice airport. FIX IT and post real signage prior to parking ticket dispensers. What a horrible start to a travel day at 4:15 am.
