Home sweet home. This is an airport that I never worry about getting late. It's very well maintained and managed. Very clean, friendly staff. Compared to all other places the probability of delays and cancellations are very minimal. Would love if options are expanded to more domestic and international options. I guess that will organically happen when Tucson further grows economically.
A nice small airport with easy access. Still small enough to park in front. Easy checkin small lines with simple rental car or cab acess. There are small nice newer restaurant options with Mexican and sushi fare, along with sandwiches and snacks. Nice bar area. It is always nice to fly in or out of TUCSON airport.
TIA is such a nice airport and is getting better everyday. As of January 2018 the terminals are somewhat under construction making way for new restaurants. (Update, both terminals are now open and even more restaurants have been added!) It's small and easy to navigate Mornings (5-7am) can be high traffic times but lines still move quick and the TSA staff is very friendly. It's not always cheaper than flying out of Phoenix but for the convenience it's worth it to avoid the 1.5 hour drive and parking fees. It's one of my favorites to fly in and out of.
Perfectly sized airport. Parking is super reasonable at $2.00 per hour. The coffee people were pleasant. Very clean. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked. The parking is nicely situated. Lots of pretty palm trees outside and nice art inside. Easy to get through and navigate. One of the best airports out there!
One of the most calm airports, ever. The airport security was friendly and went by extremely quickly. Hardly a wait, if a wait at all. The boarding process wasn't chaotic at all and occurred fairly quickly! There are a small variety of food options and the bathrooms were neat and tidy (again, with no wait). The views from the airplane themselves are wonderful as you can see one of the surrounding mountains regardless of which way your plane is turning (mountains are located on all four sides of Tuscon).
If anyone has a negative review, check if they have other reviews. Always ignore those with one negative review and nothing else as as it definitely implies that the one time they came, it wasn't a good visit, and that's the only reason they reviewed. Good, honest reviews come from those who review both the good and the bad, and this airport was anything but bad.
We were harassed again by the traffic monitors, white uniforms. A lady in a white uniform complained I was taking to long to load my bags. I was travelling from Brazil with my wife and 2 young girls. We had 8 large and heavy bags, car seats, and carry on bags. Instead of offering to help, she said I was taking too long. I am a disabled veteran and can only move so fast. She told me I had to move my van. She added to the already long and stressful trip.
We avoid Tucson airport because we have been harassed 3 times now. No other airport we fly into gives us so much grief when trying to load curbside.
The airport built a large, ugly bar in the terminal and in the process took away seating in an already cramped boarding area.
I suggest to save time and money and fly out of Phoenix. Arizona Shuttle is more convenient and cheaper.
The two major problems consumers have with airports are delays and security. This airport has 0 delays. Tucson Int. Airport is the only international airport I know that parking, TSA check, boarding, baggage claim etc are with ease and stress free. Security and staff are very polite. Very clean surroundings especially RESTROOMS. I give it a 4.5 star rating. The other 0.5 star is because it is small but that could still be an advantage when you're running late. Anyone that has negative review about this place had one bad experience. My review is based on multiple departure and arrival experiences. Good job Tucson.
It's a cute little airport, it's easy to drive around. The Call Phone Waiting Lot is very nice and confortable.
This is a fairly small airport with a layout which allows you to get in and out quickly. The terminals are nice, and the parking areas and rental car return are conveniently close.
Medium size airport that's very easy to get in and out of. Even when the airport is busy it doesn't feel rushed or out of control. Super friendly and helpful airport staff to assist with any requests you may have. Even the TSA agents are friendly at TIA. Baggage claim area is spacious and pretty fast most of the time. Usually depends on the airline and time of day.
The airport is currently in the middle of a multi-million dollar expansion and renovation to make this little gem even better. Adding new food options with a local flare along with national and local retailers/shops. Plenty of options to dine at and/or have a drink before or after your flight.
There is plenty of parking that is close by and it's cheap compared to other airports around the country. TIA also has a cell phone holding area and Uber and Lyft are authorized to drop off and/or pick up passengers.
From TIA you can fly direct to Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Portland, Denver, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, JFK, Atlanta, Minneapolis, and so many other cities. Why anyone would drive to Phoenix to fly out of Sky Harbor is beyond me. TIA is great!
No probs. Under construction, but that means they're maintaining the place. Small, easy to navigate.
Had a nice in and out experience at the airport. Getting our bag was easy - it probably helped me review that our bag was the first one off the carousel. Departing, we had a 5:30 flight, and there were places open to get breakfast. Everyone we interacted with were nice, both the airlines staff and the TSA. Parking was inexpensive and close to the terminal.
Not much to do here and check in / security is fast so I definitely wouldn't get here two hours in advance again! But free WiFi is appreciated and plenty of places to sit.
My favorite airport, mainly because it's small and easy to navigate. Never takes a long time getting thru security or checking bags so DON'T bother getting there 2 hours in advance, you'll spend a lot of time waiting at your gate! It's always clean and the employees are so friendly. Love the TV in the baggage claim waiting area that lets you see the arriving passengers as they walk down stairs. It would be nice if they had more food options or if the food places had longer hours for those with early/late flights. The cell phone waiting lot could be expanded, fills up quick during the bigger flight arrivals so you have to get there early or wait til after your arriving guests flight lands and head straight to the line to pick them up. Daily parking is so cheap ($2/hr currently) and it's easy to find a close spot so most times it's worth it to just park and go in to pick up your guest. You'll make them happy and can say your hello's without breaking the the bank!
A pretty good airport. Nothing about this place is overly impressive but it serves its role well. Would fly in or out of here again.
