Reviews of Louisville International Airport
Razz Cali
Clean, nice, friendly and fast service. I was in and out in no time. Security team was great and kind. Delta team was very helpful.
Sean Clark
Quite a long line at security for such a small airport, but we got through it. Airport is clean and the layout isn't too bad.
Famoso Fama
This Louisville international airport is kind of small but either then that it's super easy to locate and get around so you will not be getting lost like at other huge airports so I guess that's the plus side of it being small but the downside is that not a lot of air traffic goes to there so maybe like 5 planes throughout all the gates. But it's a nice little spot with a bunch of information and things to do while you come in to visit Kentucky or are already leaving Kentucky either way you'll always have something to do !
Jim Bischoff
This airport is one of the nicest I've been to. Clean and laid out in an efficient manner, I could quickly navigate from my plane to the rental car area. Signage both within the terminal and on the exit roads were easy to read and understand. Food choices were interesting and numerous, everything from Starbucks to a bourbon tasting area. All in all, a pleasant experience.
Trent Nishibun
Very nice airport! Small but very clean and easy to get around. Get food before you go through TSA - not too many choices at the gates.
And bring a jacket - holy cow, is it cold in the terminal!

Great that the airport wants to fix the chairs at the gates but is there not a staging area that this work can be done verses at the gate. The noise from the power tools makes it very difficult to hear any announcements. Would it be possible to use ratchets next time that do not make near as much noise.

I would give 5 stars if it weren’t for the horrible parking situation. The airport is modern, clean, has good security and plenty shops. But parking is a nightmare, especially for people with disabilities. I really wish they had taken into consideration that a lot of elderly or disabled people have a very hard time now to find parking close to the actual airport building, before they turned the whole first floor into rental car parking and take away handicap access/ parking! We finally found parking on the 3rd floor somewhere in the back because everything was full, and then had to walk what seemed like half a mile to the elevator, which was of course out of order! We had to carry our suitcases and carryons down the stairs and then cross a street to get into the airport building.
A week later we returned from our trip and that elevator was still not working! We had to walk to the other end of the building to use another elevator if we didn’t want to haul our luggage up the stairs! That’s too much work to get to the car. They can do better!

The lady that took me to the gate was kind of odd. When I went through security and had to take medical devices out of my suitcase, she grabbed them and decided it was ok for her to open my suitcase and put my items back in it while rummaging around. I was not pleased. The people at the gate were very nice and helpful. Southwest needs to get more leg room for those seats. It's crazy tight.
William Heppe
Several dining establishments to choose from, the B Concourse's gates could be updated with seating that has USB ports for charging devices. Nicely decorated for the holidays, which brighten the airport! Lots of places to grab a drink or two. Several places to grab gifts or souvenirs. Wish they had more artwork in the concourses, that would be more inviting for the flyers. It also seems a little dark in the concourses during the evening, which makes it a little uncomfortable.

It is my second time to arrive at Louisville International Airport. It shows itself as a growing and booming city. A good place for visit. All the pictures and videos were taken in the air above the city. There was western horizon with a sunset view while the entire east was cloudy in the night sky.
Barbara Burgin
I hope one day our city can have a real airport. Maybe they should just sell it to UPS and build a new one. The last time I flew from here the flight was delayed. Most of the restaurants were closed by 5pm. We have passengers at the international counter buying tickets but no direct flights other than domestic. Also, I think we should emphasize something about our town other than bourbon and boxing. People might think we are all a bunch of violent drunks.
Georgia
Probably the easiest airport i have ever been to. Through security in 5 minutes and check in/TSA staff are very pleasant and patient. Almost no delays as there is minimal air traffic into SDF (besides UPS planes).
Laura Weston-Pruneda
Clean. Lots of food and souvenir options. I loved the water bottle fill ups throughout after you get through security. So take an empty bottle with you.
TSA had to pat me down because the machine told them to. While it was a woman and outside of my clothes it was so intimate and on display for everyone to watch. It held up the line so they were practically forced to watch or at least look to see what was the hold up. I know it keeps us safe but i had a panic attack afterwards and there's nothing i could do, or can do now, so I deduct a star.
Feeling powerless is part of life and inevitable but... Just but.
John Breland
Very decent small airport. Starbucks opens early (4:45 am) and closes late (10:00 pm). If you need to crash overnight (as I did), the couch seating near Starbucks and KFC is reasonably comfortable.
David Potter
Easy in, easy out.
Departures on upper level, arrivals on lower. Be in the right most lane after splitting off from the E 65 exit to have the choice of either level. Middle lane will be lower level or parking only.
Astro Boy
I fly here most of the time. Unfortunately, flights from this airport are a little pricier but that is understandable as it is a local airport not an international one. TSA is very quick to go through.
Suzanne Morris
Airport took good care of us as we had driven from Dayton, Ohio to connect with a charter flight to Beau Rivage in Biloxi, Mississippi. However someone needs to do a better job with charter info. Our ticket did not give us gate info and the gate 8 still had a morning flight posting from Delta . We were with Sun Country/Allegiant Air to leave at 9:00 pm Our wheel Chair Assist worked diligently to get necessary info. A hour later they got to he info.
aaron hou
I was flying to Uzbekistan with my two children aged 17 and 18 and we decided to stop at Kentucky to visit my friends. I met some very nice people and totally recommend this place!
Craig Hawk Fan
Nice airport bit there are very few power outlets if you want to do some work or charge your phone.
James heath
Parking in the surface lot-quick pick up and great service... normally security line short and quick, not a huge selection of terminal restaurants but what they have is pretty good...flights almost always on time so overall always a good experience to travel to and from Louisville international airport
Monyet
Smaller airport but you need better signage during you remodeling. I never been there before. The sign to specific parking area was not good also. Very limited food choices.
Bronwyn Ramey
It's a small airport, not much to speak of, but it's generally clean. Delays are common when flying in late at night, due to limited ground crew availability.
Mark French
Airport typical experience. Not great, not bad. Middle of the road. Allows waiting at pickup curb in arrival area. Finally added outdoor walkway from parking to terminal (only needed 20 years in waiting), guess it's a benefit of the 2020 pandemic.
Kim McArthur
Great customer service, I needed assistance & was cutting it close to boarding, a nice Spanish woman got me to my gate on time, and first to board! For my departure to go home.
Kevin Day
Super nice airport Easy to get around by walking or tram between terminals.
Susan Hinkley
When I finally landed here it was after an exhausting 2 days of travel so my nerves were on edge. I came out to wait for my ride there was some benches so went over to sit. I have no idea why flying makes me tired but it sure zapps the energy right out of me. There were a few people already sitting and a few standing. There was a drink can sitting on the bench blocking the area so nobody could sit there. After a few minutes I went over and picked it up to throw it away and sit down. That's when a TSA agent who had been pacing with his phone to his ear but not saying anything came over and roughly took the can away from me and sat it back on the bench. I was absolutely floored by his actions. I sat down as close to the can as I could. He finally finished his cigarette picked up his can and still without saying anything into his phone walked away. Rude is the only thing I could call him. I was so tired I knew the best thing for me to do was keep my mouth shut cause the last thing i needed was to go to jail for grabbing this guy by the ear and giving him a lesson in manners. I did however take some very nice pictures of him and his precious can. If you run into him remember dont touch his can. Lol
Mark McCormack
Nice little airport that is easy to get around in. Security was a breeze and the gates are clean with plenty of seating. This is a smaller airport with the rentals cars onsite, which is always a plus. I hate getting on a shuttle.
Pretty good food and a bourbon tasting restaurant on the second floor.
Kent Hall
Well... It's always nice to return to Louisville after traveling half way across the planet and to see that old familiar airport. It might have been renamed the Muhammed Ali International Airport. But it will always be Standiford Field to me.
We need more food options. Especially if you're flying in or out late, or on weekends. But our airport does the job.
Jim Cooke
Very quick and easy to get through TSA Precheck. Arrived at my gate in minutes.
Matthew Menke
For an airport with lots of domestic flights, this airport is relatively quick to get through TSA and to get to your gate. It could benefit from more personnel to help direct people to the correct gates and more food options past TSA.
Donna Finch Slaton
Nice service Aug 2022- rode to RAP with stop in ORD, planes and staff were excellent. I walk with cane and was assisted by wheelchair rides at both SDF and ORD. Young people friendly and polite! Good experience. Luggage made the trip with me.
Deborah Martin
Airport looked stunning with all the Christmas decor. Staff was very helpful and parking was very good. Thank you!
Karan Sethi
Quick in 'n' out experience, hassle-free!
Nicci P
I was boxed up so i didn't really see too much of anything til i got dropped off at home and i was let out of the box. (Phone traveled after it was lost then found and shipped home). 😁 …
Lear Foster
A breeze getting through the airport and TSA. Arrive early though just in case its a bust travel day. I left on Derby day and the airport was decorated with beautiful roses
Justin Sturgeon
Decent airport. No issues with check-in or security. Highly recommend flying in and out of Louisville
Bestwick87
Traveled in and out of this airport my entire life, being that I call Louisville home. Only major complaints from myself are where the new car rental location is, & the fact the signage really doesn't make sense in where our how to get there. Especially if your not familiar with the airport layout prior to arriving.
DARRIS HD
Over all smooth checking in, TSA was kinda slow on the baggage process, seemed as of their computers were turning off, rest of the process was great no problem!
Heath Price
Clean. TSA is as close to friendly as they are allowed. Nice airport
Roberta Gayer
Nice airport. Always clean and easy to get around in.
Kado Charles
This was my first time flying into Louisville it's a nice airport not complicated on finding your way and actually not as crowded as most airports be.
Chad Michael Lawson
Small, comfy airport and has all the things it really in need an airport. I like small so you can get in and out
Pablo Lucero
Only a few places to plug the phone charger. Only a few places to eat. Could be improved.
Chris Flaherty
Snoopy landing on runway 99. Louisville International Airport is still run efficiently and we got to the boarding gate in plenty of time before the scheduled time to board. Spirit Airlines, not so much.
United Airlines check-in and boarding staff were efficient and helpful.
D Cooper
Easy enough airport to navigate, they have removed the smokers lounge but you can still be forced to sit beside someone's smelly emotional support animal. 🇺🇸🌎✈ …
Erin Flaherty
Booked first flight with Spirit Airlines and it will be the last. United gave good service but a flight on Spirit, the people at the gate desk waited a half hour after the scheduled departure time to tell everyone the flight would be rescheduled 2 hours later
Grace Lefler
Some of the best TSA employees! Really enjoy the nonstop flights from here to Orlando frequently.
Torren Colcord
Well marked, average security wait time. TSA agents were friendly and efficient. Only negative was they didn't have the new hightech carry on baggage scanner open that allows passengers to not have to take anything out of thier bags.
Cleopatra
This is one of the cozy smaller airports but it does have a few nice shops inside. There are locations like the restrooms that need to be updated, that's the reason for four stars, but I've seen where this airport has grown and improved. They're still improving it too. To the people that show up to work and keep this place running as smooth as they can.
THANK YOU and KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK Y'ALL!!!
Stephen Taylor
Nice airport for the size, but traveling in June it was incredibly hot throughout. Made a joke with my waitress about it and she said it’s always like this in summer months and to please let SDF know… so here’s my effort to speak up for the SDF employees. Turn on the air!
York's Wax
Very nice little airport. Easy to get around and very accessible
Dawn Grogan
When you're used to flying out of NYC JFK, Louisville Intl Airport feels like child's play.
Very tiny, intimate setting. It was actually quite refreshing - no ridiculously long lines for check-in and TSA.
Very clean and quiet. Would definitely love to visit again.
Only disappointment was that I didn't get my souvenir sweatshirt because the shop didn't have my size.
Aaron Landrum
A very solid mid-sized Airport. Well laid out and easy to navigate. Modern feel and decent dining before and after security. Can be a bit confusing driving out of but not a huge negative.
Eder
Nice airport with amenities and especially drinking water fountains.
Leah S
The Uber / Lyft area is much better marked, much appreciated. Follow the signs ;) And it's great to see stores open again.
MPP Trucker
my experience in it
louisville Airport was wonderful and Spirit Airport has a very friendly staff
Taylor Wisler
Nice smaller airport, though TSA can get really backed up at peak times.
Jeff White
Easy rental drop-off and quick check in at American counter (so nice to check in and drop bags at one stop!). TSA even followed the rules as they held an ID-less, home town, Heisman trophy winner (Lamar Jackson) at the security gate even though they obviously knew who he was.
Savion Tapia
Great, very easy access
Bayou Vixen
I adore airports with fresh plants and real greenery 🌿🌿🌿✈️🥰💚.... …
Scott S
We’ll there’s not much to it, compared to most large airports I’ve been through but it’s clean and staff are friendly.
Kathleen Hopkins
Despite the extremely long TSA line, everyone was friendly and helpful.
Joshua Sparrow
Clean, modern, fairly well layed out. No problems getting in and checked in. Event went smooth.
Chris Wheeler
Good clean atmosphere. Friendly employees that are happy to answer questions even during the holidays and all the Corona stuff that's happening.Top notch in my book!!
The only real down side I can even think of is the take off and landings when flying in and out of here can be a little rough.
Latishia Collier
Air conditioning is out, it is terribly hot. You would think they would have fans throughout to help but there is nothing but heat.
Odessa Pickett
Comfortable. Easy flow through terminals. Professional service. Clean. Easy access to car rental services.
Doug Brooks
Got stranded there during weather disruptions, but an easy & comfortable place to log in and get work done while awaiting the next flight delay & cancellation. American Airlines staff were remarkable patient with some highly stressed travellers, & efficient in sorting out their problems as best possible. Nice restaurants too, with almost adequate beer selections...
Theresa Stewart
Not a bad facility to maneuver thru but when you have signs posted for "no waiting" in the arrival area, there should not be 15+ cars waiting along the curb. No attendant working the area to regulate traffic.
SoundBite
Always a decent airport. Done up nicely for Christmas.
Dawn Sizemore
This actually happened a couple of years ago and as I was telling the story to a friend of mine I realized I did not thank the two ladies that help us. For my son's graduation / 18th birthday I booked him and I a trip to Los Angeles for one night to spend the night in Ms Janis Joplin's hotel room. When we got to the airport we were 20 minutes late for our flight and missed it. My son said that he looked over at me and I think I was in shock my lip was quivering and I was just didn't know what to do. Then I heard these two older black ladies saying come on down here girl I got you and those ladies was able to find us another flight right away I don't think we had to wait for No More than 15-20 minutes. We got on the flight we got to LA we had a great experience that we will take with us for the rest of our life. I wish I knew those ladies names because the other lady the original lady that was helping us did not care but those two ladies they did and I hope this letter gets them. I just want to say thank you thank you so much and you will forever be part of our great story ♥️ and to the original lady that was helping us sometimes a job is just a job but sometimes you can change things in a person's life and don't even know it. If I had n't gone on that trip when I did I would have never been able to. Soon after we got home I got into some horrendous car accidents and have not been able to afford much since almost to the point of losing my house. So we took that trip at the exact time that we needed to. Thank you again and forever ♥️
Paul Kilbourne
This is an international Airport. You will however find UPS is the largest carrier coming and going. This airport is small
Just two terminals with a dozen or so commercial carriers. The airport has recently had a few updates. Eat options are minimal. There is a Starbucks.
christopher carder
Usually quick to get through security. Early morning flights you will have very limited options for breakfast foods. Great for a small airport though
Larri Housh
SDF (Louisville KY Airport) is always clean and efficient. Very friendly staff throughout the airport and a lot of food/drink choices. Bathrooms are always clean.
Daniel Hartmanstorfer
The airport isn't bad and they are doing some renovations. One thing I wish they would add is number the outside doors so you can tell your pickup person where to find you. Many airports are doing this. Makes life so much easier
Bonnie Bradley
Signage for long term parking is confusing "ground parking", no shuttle service from long term parking. Insane air conditioning with 55 degree outside temp. Quick TSA!
Kelly Keppert
Clean. Easy to navigate. Friendly and courteous staff.
Ride Red
Very nice staff and employees. I took a flight from here to Las Vegas. I had no been on a plane in my life and was absolutely terrified. The employees made me feel comfortable and were very professional. It made my trip a lot easier
Onyx
Very clean and well organized. It has only 2 concourses making flights super efficient from here. My kids travel frequently and the Delta crew here do an amazing job with them. Restaurants: Outside Security: some restaurant that serves alcohol but the food is not very good. (Name keeps changing). Starbucks but not yet open and a KFC with a limited menu. Inside Security: Chili's and Starbucks which opens at 5:15am.
James Stein
Seems like a very nice airport. I was surprised that when I arrived at about 15:45 that many of the shops were closed. That's not helpful to travelers looking for something to eat, especially when the airline is late all day even though the weather was fine.
p ingold
Love to watch the planes take off and come in
Daniel
Very nice airport. I have no complaints
Jeff King
Smallest, most pleasant, easiest parking international Airport I have ever experienced.
Lorrin Magill
Nice little airport. Very clean and easy to navigate around. Nice change of pace from the craziness of the Atlanta airport (my hometown).
Michelle Wilson
Beautiful shops, atmosphere is inviting. Evey helpful assistance if needed.
Chad Toland
LOVE this airport... EXCEPT for the incredibly lengthy time it takes to get luggage from the plane to the carousels. What seems to be the delay? It's every time. Once we had to wait for 45 minutes.
Pamela Maupin
The only bad thing was I didn't know there was two floors to where people could be picked up at.
Shawn M
Clean, friendly, and easy to get in and out of. Not a lot of food or shopping, but a nice small airport.
Michael Blankenship
The Louisville International Airport has come a long way. It’s small, economical, and tidy. It doesn’t compare to other airports in its class. Underwhelming but utilitarian.
M Murray
Well I only got to see the tarmac and the out side of the terminal and gate area from my plane. It was a stopover, no plane change. But besides that I imagine the airport is quite decent. In fact if I ever had a reason to fly here, I would.
Carmen Byars
Nice airport. Smaller than most but they are expanding and they are large enough to house 6 different airlines. Easy to get around. Good amount of restaurants and nice/adequate number of snack shops The airline associates seem to be very nice and helpful
Kevin Stoughton
Best Airport I've ever been to.
David Peck
Pretty easy to get around. Nothing really stands out. There must have something big going on when we arrived because the rental car lines were crazy long.
Matt Karls
Very nice airport. I fly into a lot of different airports and this one is very clean it's laid out efficiently and everybody is super friendly. Definitely worth flying through if you need to get into or out of Louisville Kentucky or anywhere adjacent.
Melody Sargent
Compact and efficiently designed making it easier to navigate than O'Hara or Dallas. Most of the concessions are still closed but Book and Bourbon provided us a lovely lunch. Parking was difficult but manageable with reasonable prices. A pleasant experience.
Ray Pham
When I landed there It was quiet and spacious but outside they had a speaker 🔊 for passengers outside of the airport. …
Alicia Johnson
The airport was packed. TSA got us through quickly. There were probably 300 people in front of me. Got through the line in about an hour and a half. Bathrooms were clean and there were plenty of food choices.
John Day
No problems at the airport that was not fixed in 15 mins.
So all in all was not bad.
Joseph
Love going to this airport, it's an hour away, but worth it for the price difference
William Dauber
The airport is good but the lady at the thrifty car rentals was a totally rude . She was so rude to the people in front of me that they told her to keep the car and went to a different rental facility. She slowly told me there were no cars available and kept trying to get me to rent a much more expensive vehicle and made me wait . Once she realized that I wasn't going to rent the more expensive one she all of a sudden had a car for me . Very shady way to perform business. This was a thrifty car rentals and the lady wore glasses and had brown hair . Totally RUDE to me and other customers. I hope the right person will see this and get something done about it. Thanks
James Burley
This airport is good for quick stops, only longer stops if you have access to the USO.... seating is limited throughout the airport, and it's pretty small but there are plenty of bars and eateries throughout "bourbon city"
Bill P
Not bad until you have to deal with TSA, where common sense isn't so common.
B-Quiet Media (BQuiet Media)
Great, clean and very fast getting through TSA
Katie Parry
Slow security. Limited good options. But small & mostly easy to navigate
Wendi Asbell-Ramsey
Very clean. Friendly employees and flights were on time.
Richard Payne
The airport itself isn't really bad, but some of the employees are questionable. I didn't know my way around had to temporarily park my car (because I was trying to find my mother who suffered from dementia) to ask an airport security guard for directions. After he did that, he just HAD to tell me to move my car and I gave him some choice words.
Another time I was coming back on vacation and had to wait almost an hour for my checked bags. Ridiculous! I would go to Bluegrass International Airport in Lexington, but it's more expensive being a smaller airport
tilia booh
My best friend works there 😉😉 really clean and quiet …
Corie Morris
Good airport. Pretty straight forward. Restaurant choices aren’t the best. Rental cars you have a pretty good selection.
Shalonda Anonymous
Louisville international is a small airport and doesn't offer any type of sky lounge. But it's nice to have a flight that boards at 9:45am, and I arrived at 9:00am and still had time to sit before my flight.
Jack Francis
"Cellphone waiting area is "gone", as person picking up an arrival you are forced to circle endlessly until your guests have collected their belongings. This is an international Airport! It's gotta get better than this, again!
Debra Ñation
Really need to make it easier to pick up people from the airport
Cristy Brisko
I love their new assistive parking. You don't have to drive up &down looking for a spot, you just look up overhead & see a green light &there is an available spot. Genius for whom ever thought of this! However, getting to the parking took two trips around the airport because the last sign where you need to turn says "rental car return" & NOT parking.
Kellie
It was nice other than being literally 85 degrees in the terminal. For people with asthma that's a difficult temperature when you're having to hoof it across the airport to catch a flight, lol.
Sean Kiernan
Fun time to drink some bourbon and whiskey while you wait for a flight oor upon arrival. also very easily navigable!
Veronica Reed
Due to their location, parking lot, local and International flights options Louisville Airport is one of my three top favorites Airports in the United States of America and always one the best recommended places to travel from!
Also, if you need a ride to find your gate ask for Virginia, lovely strong only 71 years lady who will take care of you with outstanding customer service, professionalism and vacation for her job! 😀 👏 👏 🇺🇸 ✈
Pam Richards
Family Day to arise money Special Olympics. Had a great time
Dolly
It’s a nice small airport.. easy to get around. The TSA lines were short.
Stephanie Walker
Need healthier, whole food, & vegan options . Wish they had Heine Bros instead of Starbucks. But this airport has super comfy lounge sections near each gate.
Michael Borkoski
Smooth arrival and departure experience. I did get lost finding the rental car booths in the parking garage as there were no signs indicating they were on the floor below. But the TSA Officers were ironically the nicest people I met in Louisville, very courteous and polite. Would totally fly into Louisville again.
George Armstrong
Smooth TSA operation, nice restaurant's, clean and well laid out facility
AClayton
Easy to navigate small airport. Clean. Shops, food, power outlets
Dana Bageon
It is a smaller airport and it doesn't take long to clear security and to get to your gate! Few restaurants and shopping choices.
Patrick Loyd
It was a pretty good experience, TSA always has room for improvement. I had a coke on my flight which made me feel guilty because I have not been less white this week because of overtime.
Debra Adams
We flew American Airlines, they were great!
The people at the checkin made it so simple and the attendant, Jeanine (I think), was above and beyond fabulous!
Easy to navigate and the TSA people were actually pleasant, welcoming, and very professional.
C SMD
Lines can get very long at checkpoint to get to your gate. Was moving slow when I was there. So get there at least an hour before your departure. Gates are nearby afterwards. Very easy to navigate.
Airport is clean. Signs are not confusing like other airports. Car rental just outside. No need for shuttles. Driving out of the rental place is an acute turn so be careful and incoming traffic can be hard to see.
G V
Small airport. Easy to navigate. Bathrooms are relatively clean. Sometimes not enough seating for each gate. Car rental is at the airport campus. So no need for shuttles, which is nice, you don’t have to waste time with the shuttles etc. Car rental return easy. Fill up your tank for car rental 1-2 exits before airport exit. They usually have ones close to the exit and easy to hop back to the freeway.
Larry Tatem
That was the most efficient TSA if ever seen. I arrived 1/2 hour before my flight departure time. The line to get thru security was longest I've ever seen at SDF. I got thru in 20min. Amazing! Good work TSA 💪 …
J. Lamar H.
A medium size airport with a lot of parking space for you. Not a whole lot of restaurants inside security are nice and ready.
Blake Smith-Bohnert
Small, clean airport. TSA is always quick, regardless of how long the line is.
Nothing is ever open. If two restaurants are serving customers, you're in luck.
durgeshkumar nonare
Small airport during busy hours becomes congested.
Hj HiltonJ
Airport seems to be centrally located, retal car return easy to access, food options are available. And in Kentucky, they have the Kentucky Bourbon is available foe purchase at the airport.
Eric Marcum
No problems. There are not a lot of choices for food like other airports. But, it is clean and comfortable.
Abdurrahman AlQuran
There's plenty of room for people to go. The renovations are being handled fairly well, but there's still sober bustling and moving around. The employees are really nice, though. They offered us rides through the long arrival terminal when we arrived late at night.
Sabine Beard
Waiting for our mom , Billie Jole is an bartender. Keep smiling.
la'rell bell
Friendly workers all except 1 yard jock that moves the trailers around. He's grumpy, talks to you like you're nothing, and he won't hardly look at you so forget asking for help unless you locate the other yard jock (there's usually 2.).. Also don't park there overnight if you are a truck driver. There is an airport next door and there's planes zooming thru there all night. Other than that it's a great place!
Paranormal Google Reviews (Paranormal Google Reviews)
Very nice airport. It is not very big. If you have a long layover there is plenty of stuff for you to do. They do offer services as transportation and rental cars. Staff is super friendly and it is kept very clean. Close to downtown if needing to stay overnight.
Stacia Rayon
One of the smoothest experiences. My bags were literally waiting on me (like I was taking to long 😒😂) at Baggage claim. I was able to de-board the plane, grab bag, and be in my ride under 10 mins. Love it! …
Andrew Jeffers
This is a smaller airport but very efficient! The long term parking garage is within walking distance to the terminals, this is nice because it is unclear when the shuttles come by. Hardly any wait to check a bag, most of the airlines have kiosks set up to assist with this. Security doesn’t take too long and there are a few restaurants on the other side of security where you can get food or drinks. You are also able to purchase bottles of bourbon on both sides of security!!!
Chelsea Morrison
Simple to navigate airport and small enough to not cause anxiety among travelers. Quick and friendly bag check area. A decent amount of shopping both before and after security checks. TSA appeared to be extra cautious; which is okay and expected. Would like to see charging stations under all waiting chairs near boarding as a suggestion.
William Henderson
Went to pick up my daughter at midnight and the place was packed!! They have done a lot of renovation work and that's great but I noticed how many small shops are closed. Covid-19 has hit these small locations hard.
T “Amazing511” AMAZING
There's is no cell phone waiting area, while waiting to pickup !! Most airports now have a side area called cell phone waiting area, that way you don't have to pay for parking or keep circle back around !! There is a area on the side of the road where ppl just wait but there are signs everywhere that says no stopping !
Colton Mojesky
Usually smooth check in with on time departures. Staff is friendly for the most part, but can be hit or miss as with most airports. Decent restaurants but small selection, as to be expected with a smaller airport.
Patricia Hall
Louisville International Airport is easy to navigate and the TSA is very efficient and friendly. My flight was at 6:45 am. I was surprised when I arrived at 4:30 to find the airport was not staffed til 5 am. I stood in line til 5 am to check my bag and get thru security. Keep in mind that the flights are limited and there will be times the airlines are not staffed.
Kim B
There are advantages and disadvantages of being a smaller airport. There aren't as many flight options, which sometimes means paying more. However, it's much less crowded. I've never had trouble making my flight with time to spare when getting there 90 minutes ahead of time. At other airports, 2 full hours aren't enough!
Joseph Carlton
When renting a car there be aware not all signs point you in the right direction. The elevator indicates that rentals are on the first level of the garage. This is partially true, the vehicles are there and SOME of the counters. Most are on the 2nd level inside the airport. So be aware of that.

Very pleasent festive piano player the best

A recent trip to French Lick brought me to this airport for the first time.
It's a pretty small airport with two small concourses. We have TSA pre check and got through security quickly. The regular security line didn't look long either.
We had to hang out at the airport for a while waiting for my parents to pick us up. They have some nice seating areas to work at. The airport was freezing though.
Not a lot of restaurant selection since it's so small.
There was no line to pick up or drop off at departures and arrivals which was refreshing. Overall, not a bad airport.
Sue Ellen Wheeler
SDF is unique as it is small and convenient yet still has so many amenities larger airports have. The employees are pleasant and efficient. There are several food and drink options. Very easy access to baggage and parking or rentals.👍 I really enjoy this airport. …
Jonathan Parrish
You could definitely tell that security was lightly staffed and there were computer issues everywhere. Half the restaurants were closed during dinner time.
Scott F Wilson
Easy in and out of airport. Many ride share can't find new lot at beginning of building, so contact them to identify pickup location.
Sivvy
Fairly basic in my experience, but that’s usually best. I like it.
Will Hill
Nice clean airport and not too big. Easy to get around. The bathrooms are clean and the stalls have a rack to put bags on instead of the ground.
Lucas Velmer
Good service for this smaller airport. LOVE the Starbucks in here. Despite the ongoing construction here as of DEC 2016, there is still plenty of room to maneuver. The airport is well laid out and run pretty well, too. Very little delay in TSA checks, baggage claim, ticketing, and gate services.
Tim Ervine
Rental car return main turn off from airport entrance and individual vendor returns needs improved signage. I wound up making 3 laps around the garage!
Casey Butler
Awesome as always easy going. One of the calmest TSA you will meet. This airport reduces my stress level!
deadpoolclaws
This place is very clean. My dad works there and his friends are very nice people. They can insure that you make anywhere you want safe. Also they will take care of you as much as they can. Have a nice flight!
Gautam Chhibber
It's an easy airport to get through security. It's small and has only a couple of food options. There is a store after you pass security that offers bottles of bourbon in case you forget to buy one.
ChrisAngel Fuller
Small airport but neat. Decent dining options. They did decent security time wise with the influx of people for the Derby. Have a complaint about TSA but I'll leave thar for them☺ Most folks working there were helpful.
Eric Conover
Surprised by the small size of this airport, considering the size of the city. Interior is a bit dated but there are some a couple nice food and drink options inside. Security is usually a quick and friendly experience. Easy to get in and out if the airport... A big plus compared to the maze I've had to navigate at other airports.
Bryan Mendez
Really nice airport! Very easy
Danny Doss
Nice Airport. Great greeting.
Jemellee Manaoat
This airport is nice and clean compared to many airports I’ve been in. It’s not too big so you cannot get lost! I like how the rental car place is on the property. Once you get your luggage, you can just go outside and pick up your rental car. Easy freeway/highway access. Not too far from Fort Knox and downtown Louisville. And they have awesome restaurants and cafes like Book and Bourbon (Southern Kitchen) Comfy Cow 🐮, and more...
Alexis M - Brewer
If you see any complaints about this airport, it is coming from people who fly two or three times a year who show up without removing ipads and jewelry while arguing on why they cannot take liquids through TSA. It's small but very efficient as we fly at least once every three months.
Tip - The airport site recommends arrival up to 90 mins before your boarding time. We arrived for a non-stop, red eye and made it to our gate as they were boarding (checked luggage and went to the wrong gate). if you follow the rules, it works. **If you want to hit up Starbucks and buy souvenirs, I suggest arriving 2 to 2.5 hrs before your flight. If not, get your Starbucks before you go through TSA and drink while you are in line.
If you read the rules on the web page, you will be fully prepared to fly through this place.
Tamara Myers
Still not a lot opened bring your food. Bright side construction complete no longer down basement from parking garage to get to terminal. Clean and friendly staff
Update..busy most everything is open.
martin thomas
Decent airport, security was quick and patient and the airport was clean, however there was no where to eat unless I wanted to wait in the Starbucks line and miss my flight.
James Hill
This is a great airport and a perfect time to rant. The lines move quickly and everyone is nice. I have noticed that the people who review the airport harshly are the ones who expect too much. It's YOUR responsibility to get to the airport in time and YOUR responsibility to deal with YOUR bags. The customer service is excellent. If you treat people with respect then you will be helped, if you are mean and rude then naturally you wont get anywhere. My advice to anyone flying anywhere is just deal with it. Flying is not a luxury vacation, its taking a bus with wings and expensive tickets. Just because you pay the high price for the ticket doesn't mean you're entitled to any preferential treatment. We all paid the price and we all will get to our destinations. Check your bags, take off your shoes and belt, empty your pockets and quietly enjoy the flight.
Brittany Marshall
I've been flying pretty frequently and the staff at this airport do and exceptional job at getting you serviced at the ticket counter and through security relatively quick.
Ashlee Parlante
Staff is nice. As a non-frequent flyer, I often get nervous during the TSA process - I just want to make sure I'm doing what needs to be done. They didn't make me feel rushed, or feel like a piece of dirt on the bottom their shoe during the TSA process, which I have experienced at other airports. Unfortunately I can't remember her name, but the woman who checked me in at the front desk was the sweetest.
kellie farrell
After a tough start to our trip to Louisville, we landed to find out we had major issues with the reservation of our rental car. Upon reaching out to Officer Sims, he put us in contact with Josh at National Car rental who assisted us with renting a car. Both of these guys were very, very nice, helpful, and courteous. We are very fortunate to have been able to meet them and have them assist us.
Brian Amback
Place was like a madhouse. Vehicles double and triple parked. No R.A.A. security around or seen to tell violators to move along.. Luckily for me my son was seated in the tail section of the aircraft or we would have been stuck at the curb for a long time.
Bailey Jones
That is so Awesome Place and People have a great day
A Mexican Pizza
B15-B19 airside has minimal power outlets. Seats in the sitting area do not have power outlets. Power charging stations only have five outlets and all of them are constantly filled. People were constantly trying to charge their devices, but could not find any outlet. SDF needs to invest in sits that have more outlets for people.
Richard McCauley
Great regional airport. Easy to get thru TSA. Limited food court. Chili's is the best.
Bill Murray
A very impressive airport; clean well thought out and friendly staff. It is a smaller airport, however, these bigger airports could learn a. Thing or two from this airport. They have shopping and food access before and after TSA Security Screening, wow what a novel idea. All airports should offer these types of services.
Looking forward to flying back to Kentucky; and the airport is one of the reasons why.
Keep up the good work.
James Lee
A nice and clean airport. We liked everything about it except for our luggages 🧳 came out late. …
Laurencio Ronquillo
Love this somewhat small airport but has everything one could need. Easy short or long term parking. Car rental and overall very friendly to navigate inside and outside.
jeff kirkbride
Awesome ease of maneuvering through very clean airport. Love the Bourbon purchase options also....
Ashton kang
Fast TSA line and overall airport facilities are clean and neat. Well organized airport. Easy to park and walk to the terminals
Chrissy Lyles
TSA line is super long at 4:00 in the morning. Please please please get there early for your flight
Tony Shupenko
Flew out of here 4 or 5 times and picked up multiple family members. Nice small airport, easy to navigate, never had to wait at TSA screening, recent updates are an improvement. Only thing is its funny that they call it international, it only is because of the cargo planes. Doesnt fly passenger international
Brian Dudley
Hauling trailers out of here great place
Susan McKellep
This is my home airport, and I love it. All the Louisville & KY photos, signage, decor makes me smile, because it really highlights the best of Louisville & KY. They're doing a lot of construction right now (June 2020) & Covid precautions are in place, so if you're going to be there in the foreseeable future just know it's not looking its best, but is still a good airport.
DETAILS:
SDF is relatively small, but can feel big if you're walking to/from the furthest gate.
Parking is plentiful & inexpensive, BUT it can be confusing to get to.
In fact, the entire airport loop can be confusing because there's a lot of lane changing, & decisions to make as you approach the parking & terminal. That said, it's easy & fast to just loop around again if you miss a turn the first time.
Welcome to Louisville! ☺️
Matt Granderson
Very pleasant on a Saturday morning at 0900 in February. Very few people, TSA moved fast. No concerns. Southwest plane was packed.
Carmen Martinez
I love Delta Airlines.. My experience has been amazing every connection you make the Delta reps have been very attentive. Our Delta pilots and crew have given us an amazing experience to keep flying with Delta Airlines..
JOS Clement
It was great!!!
Convenient and very helpful & friendly staff...from the airlines to the security and restaurant personnel!!
Warren RUTHERFORD
It is a clean and friendly airport. I am here on a Tuesday to fly to California. Security has a lot courtesy and respect for the people awaiting to fly. I live in Cincinnati, OH. I would recommend flying from here.
Jonathan Carman
The engineers that designed the entrance/exit to the airport must have been high.
When traffic is MODERATELY heavy, you have to be super vigilant to avoid an accident.
Charles Colan
Great airport, plenty of seating area, food & bars. Great staff. Really easy to pick up and drop off car rentals. Churchill virtually around the corner and Keeneland just down the road. How could you go wrong?
Karen Oliva
Although very busy & very early morning, it was also very smooth and quick moving & friendly... Thank you
Jade “Nephrite” Lotus
Sensible layout. Comfortable waiting area seating. Beautiful views of the sunrise and sunset. There are delicious vegan friendly snacks and drinks. My only complaint is that each time I've come through this airport, my flight has been SEVERELY delayed (flying United)... which was a huge problem for me because I was flying internationally with multiple flight connections and each time I ended up missing my flights and having to reschedule and lengthen my travel time.
D. Mary Brownfield
It was a nice airport, but because of staffing shortages many places were closed. They had hiring notices up.
sherry affatica
Clean and uncrowded airport. Free WiFi for only 20min before having to pay isn't great.They do have a small power charging/workstation lounge area but not enough seating, even during a non peak time and there is no power in general seating areas .
eric buchanan
People not familiar with the area picking you up They could be on the bottom level while you're on the top like happened to me last night. Both were receiving for American Airways. But one was for the terminal drop off in the other one was from baggage claim.
Christopher
An efficient airport design that is right sized for the location. Easy car rental pickup and drop off, however TSA lines get backed up easily, and very limited food options after TSA check.
Gossett McRae
they moved the cell phone lot and today the " new" lot was closed!!
Had to just park on shoulder to wait.
But it's a nice convenient airport
Elijah Schultz
Very nice place, with excellent decor. It does Louisville proud. It is also of great use when one wishes to travel great distances, but does not have access to other viable long-distance transportation, such as wormholes, dragons, or a car that can turn into a spaceship (I'm definitely saving up for one of these). Here you can just hop on one of our sky ships and it will zip you to wherever you need to go. The staff are also quite amicable, which is always a win
Jean Paul Rukundo
I would like to appreciate all possible efforts put in place at SDF Airport to ensure the safety of all workers and travelers every day. We all love and like to be safe wherever we are or go. Hat off to the Safety Team at SDF Airport! However, I would like to call on SDF Police to partner with other towing companies rather than DAVE'S TOWING SERVICES. In addition, I would like to suggest the SDF Police to investigate, audit DAVE'S TOWING SERVICES operations and services if they are offered in compliance with state laws, policies and regulations.
Jonathan Brown
Good airport, does not usually have much of a line at security but every once in a while you do have to wait. Check in lines can also vary widely so I still get to this airport at least 90 minutes before my flight.
Tim Smith
After traveling to Cincinnati Airport a few months ago, I found out how much I really like Louisville Airport. The Airport is very clean, and TSA isn't terrible. They are friendly and the lines move faster than other airports. I agree with someone else about too many announcements. My daughter doesn't ask much, but she ask me to always fly out of Louisville.
Robert M
Nice airport but no lounges which is a huge drag.
joseph sims
Always have a good time !👍👍 …
Patty Boge-perez
The best service people in the country! And TSA is so friendly and helpful, they make me feel safe, because you can see they take their job very seriously. I don't even mind any little bit of inconvenience I may experience. Well worth it...
Nick Santini
The airport is smaller than a lot of airports. This is awesome especially if you are running late. Every trip I have ever taken to through this airport has been an easy and pleasant one and have never had problems.
Christina Taylor
Just Rude. I was eating thin pretzels and a tiny crumb fell on the floor. Moments later a man and a broom showed up and said you made a mess. I looked down and said, "Are you talking about that?" A crumb 1/4 the size of a penny, and he said "yes and I'm waiting for you to move your bag so I can get it." Are you serious really? 1. It was tiny 2. You could have given me time to pick it up. 3 stars because its clean and Starbucks Staff and Airport attendants in lobby were nice
James Honeycutt
Airport has really changed for the better in the last 10 years. Lots of good places to eat both from national chains to the local bourbon club. Updated to compete with the big airports. It still has that laid back southern charm.
A Rodriguez
The airport is easy to navigate with just 2 terminals, A and B. The only complaint would be there's not many places to eat. A lot of places are closed due to Coronavirus.
Kirsten Kindel
Always a pleasure to land here. It's refreshing how calm and a little empty Louisville airport can get, especially after being jam packed in planes and how crowded Denver airport can be.
Alex Hunnicutt
I love this little airport. I appreciate it most when arriving back after traveling to much larger airports. Security usually moves pretty quickly so you don't have to arrive super early. Baggage claim always seems to take forever, but that's the only downside.
Tyler Gubala
A smaller airport, which sometimes can be advantageous, inn my experience I have found this airport to be quite crowded, even just taking a Canada Regional Jet a couple of states over into Michigan.
When I arrived at the gate I was surprised to see such a small airport so crowded on a weekday, especially for a regional flight. Finding a seat to wait to board at those times can sometimes be an issue.
Otherwise, some of the pros of being a smallerr airport would be that it is cleaner than many airports that I have been in. However sometimes it can be nice to get to kill some time in a larger airport walking around and exploring a bit as you wait for your flight. As with anything, your milage may vary.
From my personal experience, the air port was middling. It was kind of crazy how packed the area my gate was in compared to the rest of the airport. There just isn't that much space to accomodate high traffic travel days.
Philip Woods
I like this small airport. It's easy to navigate, has everything you need and best of all when I arrive here it means I'm back home.
John Martin
A great airport. Security lines are always reasonable, there was one time I was the only one at the TSA checkpoint. They have a Starbucks and other little places to shop. Very clean and all the workers have that Southern decency.
Tom Duffy
Food is getting better but baggage is still a very long wait. I fly about 40 times a year in and out of SDF. For long trips I have to check my bag. Today I am at 35 minutes from landing and still waiting.
Bud Burson
Quiet had a few flights in no crowd's all concessions were shut down one tsa person at the gate lots of construction being done messes with parking as well as picking up and dropping off lower level for drop off was closed had to drop of at the upper level
Frank A. Merola
Problem navigating to the arrival and finding a place to park. Had to circle the area twice to get to where I needed to be. There used to be cell phone parking but don't know whether it is still available. I paid for parking while waiting to pick up someone arriving from Florida.
Laverne Weitzman
Very efficient. Those needing a lift to their gate. There is a driver on a golf cart ready for you as you exit security.
Ingrid Weissenfluh
Very nice regional airport. Alot of good food options and very clear directions to get you to your destination.
Erin B
I'm in a LOT of airports and SDF is decent. They're making upgrades right now, but realistically, it's never going to be amazing. What it is though, is easy to get in and out of. Parking isn't too far away, relatively quick to get through TSA and there is a Starbucks past security. Additionally, with only two terminals, you're never super far from your gate... Nice for the size of the city. Only thing that could be better would be more Delta direct flights.
Miki Booker
So easy to get through & find your way
Hendrick Perry
Everything closes at 6pm. So eat dinner before you go, or bring it with you. Small airport easy to get around.
Paul Czeresko
Nice moderate size support. Easy to get around and navigate. I didn't have to spend a lot of time there. Everything went smoothly.
Rick Gordon
Most of the food places are shut but there are at least one open inside of each terminal. The moving walkway is shutdown meaning you have to lug your baggage uphill from the terminal to security.
Jim Varney
I don't travel much, but I have never had problems here. The TSA checkpoint is usually quick and there are a few amenities to occupy your time between flights.
Dawn Lee
Glad to see more people in SDF recently. Hope all of the renovations will be finished soon!
Pam Williams
Could not find Rental cars. Major P9
Debbie Bayles
I don't even know how they consider themselves an international airport. All the stores and restaurants were closed but one restaraunt."SAD"
Of course employees are nice and bathrooms clean.
Monica Hayes
Helpful tsa people with disabled customers. Needs more selection on snacks during delays. Otherwise perfect.
Amanda James
I may be biased as a Louisvillian, but I have never seen such a clean airport. The restrooms are the best airport ones I've ever seen. It's a small airport (relatively), but it could use another eatery or two (McDonald's breakfast sounds good). Lines usually move pretty quickly, which is nice. The seats aren't very comfortable while waiting; well, they're okay, just not something I'd want to sit in all day. Overall, it's a good airport!
Jasmine Dorsey
Really cool airport, clean and well managed.
Juan Higuera
Normal size..not too big nor small, wasn't too busy on sunday afternoon, didn't approach anyone who works there but I'm pretty sure they are very helpful and nice!
PJ K
Nice staff and clean in common area
Donald Rodgers
It's great fun to watch the UPS Rush Hour while riding roller coasters across the street at Kentucky Kingdom. It really adds to your amusement park experience. I've never been a passenger on the commercial airlines side of this Airport, but I have flown a private plane into it and ATC and line services are excellent.
Jim Tricarico
I am at SDF around 50 times per year. Nice, small airport. Awesome if you're local. Easy access, cheap parking, never crowded (even during derby or Thanksgiving). Construction was a drag, but finishing up now. Looks way better. Not a ton of shops, but that can be a good thing too. The "free" wifi is limited to 20 minutes, which is the worst I've ever seen. My hope is that they correct this uncompetitive anomaly and regain the missing 5th star from this review.
B Zeller
Was waiting for takeoff on Southwest Airlines on February 1st and was delayed 50 mins due to deicing. It took 3 trucks to get the job done. 1st truck ran out of deicing fluid, 2nd truck had some kind of mechanical problem so 3rd truck finally was able to get us deice. Seems to me there should be a gauge on the trucks to tell if they are low on fluid or not. That was pretty ridiculous that it took 3 trucks to get us on our way. Thank goodness it was a nonstop flight and I did not have a Connecting flight
Sandra Martin
Traveled with American Airline, and their service was outstanding. The airport has great wheel chair service.
John D Young
Dealing with all the changes of flying (Security) wasn't too unpleasant. I hadn't flown since early 80s so it was different but pleasant.
Trent Trussell
Breeze through security in about 10 minutes. Very quick to get to your gate. Recommend the tsa precheck because they like patting.
Robby Sayles
SDF comes a long ways from many years ago. Much better security times, a breeze check in process. Easy picking up your baggage. Excellent food options, comfortable boarding area.
Becky Mattox
Fast, polite and curtious service made us feel extremely comfortable. Thanks
Cam V
Really enjoyed how easy it was to fly out of here. They also have great options and stores absolute pleasure. This could pass for any larger City airport with the amenities. The UPS planes are all over.
Marc Sparks
Nice little airport has all the amenities easy to get in-and-out of not to mention Kentucky is a beautiful state.
Andrew Rose
Small, quiet airport. Plenty of bathrooms. No line for check-ins or TSA.
*Pro-Tip*: Get your food before you head through TSA, the options are better. There is a Starbucks inside if all you need is coffee.
His-Love Saved-Me
Had to get a last minute ticket to Honduras this past Saturday, the Delta agent behind the counter was phenomenal, got a ticket for Monday's flight out under $800 and a few extras! Was checked in & ready to go in less than an hour! Great security procedures & great service!
Ms Painted Lady
I want to take a moment to brag on the SDF airport security. I encountered them when returning back home from a very emotionally draining trip after laying my stepmother to rest.
I was greeted by a very kind woman whom gave me instruction on what items to remove per the usual drill- however, her delivery was key. She had such warm eyes and spoke to me as a human being. I continued through security while several different officers were cheerful and friendly. They saw I was distraught and one female officer insisted on gathering all the kleenex they could find for my tears and runny nose; meanwhile another actually made me laugh with swift comedic relief. This was a human effort unlike any I've felt from random strangers. I believe my interaction was just about with 10 security team members.
I have traveled many airports and been spoken to so rudely from security in many tones that were harshly unnecessary, maybe even demeaning.
All of the SDF security team were a pleasure in my brief interaction. I am so glad that was my parting experience while traveling back home. Thank you to this wonderful crew who made a day that was so sad a little brighter. Love and light to all of you wonderful people.
Micheal Briscoe
Nice clean place love seeing the airplane ✈
Payel maji
The experience was excellent. They have amazing staff and they checked us in very fast. It isn't too far either. They even had great parking spots.
Nick Greene
Came for pickup and just had to wait in a long queue instead of parking in a non existent cell phone lot.
Jay Best
Perfect size. Plenty to do, comfortable seats, clean restrooms, Starbucks, and friendly employees. Even TSA is efficient and pleasant
Randeman
Easy to get around and they don't charge ridiculous prices at food concessions like other airports.
Richard Wells
Airport terminals clean and operation well-organized. ADA wheelchair service prompt and quick.
Doesn’t Matter
It’s a fine airport, with expensive snacks like all the others. Parking is fairly priced, but the wait at baggage claim is awful!! Check your luggage planeside if you’re in a hurry when arriving at SDF!
Drake H
SDF is a fairly quiet airport which is very easy to navigate. Great Starbucks in the main area and plenty of your typical areas for seating. Unlike Charlotte, Cincinnati, Philadelphia etc you don't have to worry about transportation across all the various wings etc. Security and the check-in process is generally very speedy and friendly. In many ways it reminds me of some of the smaller airports in Florida but with less palm trees. It is always a joy to fly out of SDF and to come back home! By far my favorite airport. Arriving an hour ahead of time allows more than enough time to check-in and enjoy a cup of coffee and relax.
Update: After traveling all over the country I still stand by my review. This is by far the easiest airport in the United States. Friendly and helpful staff, TSA moves things along quickly. I dread other airports but not SDF.
MelissaAnn Carter
The airport was fine but just so you know they aren't social distancing on Southwest Airlines but thank God nobody sat near me.
chantal de raedemaecker
The are really good and helps with a smile
Donnie Brison
Took my 80 y/o mother in law to Louisville International to fly to Atlanta to visit with her son & his wife for Mother's Day. Delta is absolutely THE best. Their service and care for the customer is second to none. Their service representatives know and do their jobs extremely well and my family and I hold them in high regard.
heather Audet
Ok airport, but it seems to open up late for early flights and it is a ghost town if you get in after 9:00. If you have an early flight, your only breakfast option is Starbucks when you first arrive, and the line is long. Chili’s opens up a bit too late for a 6:00 flight.
Diana Kernell
Very nice looking Airport, super helpful staff, kind of confusing baggage claim it takes the monitors a while to show what flights baggage is coming in and all the shops and restaurants before security were closed and they had no vending machines, not certain how late they stay open but it was 6pm when they were closed for me.
Ankita Reshamwala
Nice and clean always! Love the displays for derby n bourbourns ..
Sharon Thorne
All of the employees we encountered were very courteous and friendly. And I have to mention Barbara at the information center. She answered all my questions (there were a lot) and recommended many places to visit we hadn’t thought of! She was very warm and personable 💜 …
Keith Bauder
Easy airport to transit through
D Smith
Best convenient airport in the Midwest! Love it!
Frankie Day
Has knee surgery and needed help. SW Airlines were amazing helping me get around.
David Strauss
THE WORST WIFI EXPERIENCE OF ANY AIRPORT I HAVE USED. WHY DON'T THE POWERS THAT BE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?? Folks are always complaining about that. Otherwise, functional airport - nothing special, but very clean and security is better than average in moving people through.
Jake Blair
Great airport for departures. It's a good size facility without the crowds of larger airports. There are several airlines that operate flights out of here in addition to planes leaving the UPS WorldPort.
Steve Thomas
Great little regional airport. Well laid out. Only minus is the lack of places to sit and eat/cocktail.
paul moorman
Im a uber\ Lyft driver..some people are confused where to go to get picked up..Need more signs ..folks are asking ! why is it so complicated...fix it.
Geneva Reed
This is a wonderful city! The Louisville International Airport is small compared to Ohare in Chicago but mannnn I loved and enjoyed this place!
Ben Herbener
Always a pleasure coming through SDF. Clean, simply layout, nice staff, and most importantly not too big or too small. There are cheap flights to every major city, but not so big that you have to fight crowds and walk 25 minutes to a distant concourse.
J. Brian Mitchell
Good airport. Substantial restaurants. Ample facilities. No complaints in the least.
INSPRE
This is my hometown airport. I love the no-lines TSA, the rental agencies right outside the terminal, and the fact that the airport is 15 minutes or less from downtown. I've read a number of comments on here stating that the eateries all close too earlier for late flyers. Here's a bit of advice, get yourself something to eat, or if you find yourself stuck for two hours or so, just go and get something to eat near by. Indies, White Castle, McDonald's they all have shops close to the airport that stay open 24HRs! We are so quaint that our motto should be, "go ahead baby and get you something to eat, we'll be here when you get back!"
Em Jean
I never leave reviews but I've spent half my life in airports and have never had such a warm welcoming group of employees through security. A groovy 10/10.
James Barzee
Absolutely Beautiful, Airport was renamed in honor of Mohammed Ali.
Staff is great & security makes you feel safe.
Massimiliano Baldoni
small but very organized
William Davis
Can still remember when this was called Standiford Field. It was a pretty good airport then. During the 90's the terminal had gone through a major makeover. So I was pretty well astounded upon a return visit in 2005 to see that the airport have gone through considerable expansion since then.
Ken McWatters
Nice medium to large sized airport in Louisville, KY. Came through on a business trip. Was a bit of a long walk to the car rental area. But otherwise the airport was well designed.
Teadora Monteith
great airport. small and convenient. very easy and fast to get through security
Daniel Kochersperger
I love SDF. That being said, it needs major work on how quickly the airlines get the bags to bag claim. SDF is quick and easy getting in for a flight, but, is slow and sometimes frustrating getting luggage and getting out.
Jonathan Gilbert
This review might be a tad off, since I happened to catch a flight on an uncrowded day, but I had a pleasant experience. No complaints.
K-Rod Kev-Dog
Maybe it was the time I got there, but the airport security was very fast and efficient. I got in the line, got my luggages scanned and then patted down all under 15 minutes.
Matthew Woodward
Terrible wifi, at least if you hate Boingo wifi. My mom and I had a six hour flight delay due to a thunderstorm. I tried to watch youtube while we wait and I could only use the wifi for 20 minutes. Afterwards I was asked to pay for more time. At least speed wasn't a problem. But it was one of the highlights of one of the worst experiences I have ever had traveling anywhere.
They should also take" leaving isn't easy" out of their ad slogan. At least people at the front desk were nice and sympathetic.
Jeff Jenkins
This place marker was incorrectly listed as permanently closed. It is fully operational 24/7/365. Great service, fast & friendly staff. Easy access to ground transport & parking. Really like using this awesome lil airport.
Aaron Hartong
Do not let the name fool you, this is only an international airport due to the UPS air hub. Their are no commercial flight out of the continental US. Although, their are some benefits to this, screening lines are shorter than most and ticket counter lines are not bad if you time it right.
Cave Arnold
This is a nice medium sized airport. Quick through TSA. Several nice restaurants. Many regional flights. I normally always use this airport when visiting relatives in Kentucky.
Joseph Douglas
Louisville SDF is a great airport. Easy to get in and out. Love that their rental cars are on site
Dean Wilson
Depends on who you deal with and always get a second opinion so you don't miss your connecting flight 😕 …
Joey Gonzalez
Plenty of food areas available, you can easily navigate the airport. The easiest car rental process I’ve ever experienced.
Richard Vautard
Clean, comfortable, doing what is expected
sellarsfive
Need a much larger cell phone/ waiting area for cars for those who don't want to pay for short-term parking or get out of their vehicles.
Nathan Olds
Great experience. Small airport that us fast and easy to use. Rarely gets busy with long lines
Kaz Isla
Should be a bigger airport with more flights and food options also need to be cleaned more and should offer small room for online interviews or meetings
Jonathan Salvi
This is one of the cleaner airports that I've seen in a long time. The lines for security move very fast... the airport to use more food options but other than that it is very great!
Danny Foley
It's a decent airport, it is a bit small and there is a bit of construction going on so it's a little annoying especially as a delta customer because I have to go from one side of the building to another after getting my bags
Michael Lamont
Massive runways and the latest in airport equipment thanks to being UPS's primary air hub. Parking is cheap and easy, lines are never long, and the airport staff is friendly.
Vicky Prewitt
Parking really isn't very good. Lots of walking and 4th floor only available for hometowners. Not a good upgrade in my opinion
Michael Hoffman
Nice little airport. Wish there was more food past security
George
First time at this airport. Loved it. Small, easy access, plenty of room, not too busy, nice and updated shops and restaurants. Highly recommended!
Melanie Garcia

Carrie Porter
The pick up and drop off zones are well maintained very clean ..and everything flows great.(traffic)
Tony Goss
Not a great experience, Southwest does not have priority check-in. And they don't have "Clear" at this airport.
Brian Telesh
Under construction outside and inside right now.
A lot of stuff closed due to pandemic.
Easy and friendly Airport to use. Security is efficient.

Cute airport, easy to manage ...loveeee that it's named after Muhammad Ali! I expected a bit more from the KFC since Louisville is its flagship city but the 'Gettin Lucky in Kentucky' t-shirts made up for it!
Joshua McKee
We've never had a problem flying our of SDF. The security lines are always small, and the airport is always clean.

Whoever the guy is working the desk for thrifty, he needs to be mopping instead of waiting on customers. He's extremely too slow, and he's flirting with someone right now, and taking up mine time! I have things to do!

Place isn't bad, but never have dealt, with such a long line for screening, have been to many airports, but this place needs to update it's handling of screening passengers, maybe get more machines,and learn to handle more people, line did move, but could of move faster , with more machines, and learn to handle more people, otherwise good place.
Joe Sterne
Pretty nice smaller airport. Decent selection of places to eat and drink inside. Bathrooms are pretty clean and the layout of the airport is easy to navigate.
Jeff Zahnd
Very small, easy to navigate airport. The tsa and gate agents are always warm and welcome.
Carl Boyer
A very good experience overall for a mid size airport. TSA precheck unavailable at my concourse
Trish Ferguson
Quick and easy process through security. Facility is always spotless. All staff i have come in contact with is always helpful and friendly.
Susan West
I've been here several times. It's easier to find entrance, flights and exit than Dallas or Los Vegas so- No tram needed.
