Grand Forks International Airport

Delta employees at the counter need better training. Very rude and disrespectful to someone with a medical condition. Don’t know the rules and regs - on a power trip to a gold status passenger who just had surgery. Just awful.

Smallest airport I have been to but it has its perks. No waiting to check in or standing in line for security checks. Friendly staff. Unfortunately do not expect to have a a huge choice for bite to eat.

I just wanted to highlight the front desk employee, Noah. I was stressed about getting my luggage back from a different state and he promptly followed up and assisted in helping me obtain it. I was impressed by the professionalism and excellent customer service.

Small, but has all the amenities needed. And planes are usually always on time. Staff super friendly.

Cheaper than FAR. Modern and nice. Enterprise rental car place easy to use and right inside terminal.

Easy parking. Fast service. Friendly employees. I like it when flying out of GFK is a cheaper rate than FAR. I've never had a problem using this airport over the past 20+ years.

I don't like the little dirty tricks they played at the parking. It is great that the first 30 minutes are free, and then it is just $1 per 1/2 hrs. It is BAD, that time at the entry gate is 6 minutes behind of the real time, but it is sharply correct at the pay station. As a result I paid $1 for my 25-minute parking. Not a big deal, you'll say. Yes, but I don't like such dirty tricks

Clean environment. Organized. Friendly staff. Nice small spot to fly into in North Dakota. 10/10.

Small airport here. We need a bridge to get us to the gate. Only two small gates here, only slightly bigger than the Butte airport, which only has one gate. One baggage carousel, like Butte. Should be quick to get our bags then. 3 car rental options though. Hertz, Avis and National.

The best "fast food" in Tennessee. Puts the others to shame. Friendly, prompt service. I usually call ahead & my order is perfectly prepared & ready when I arrive. When I forget & just stop in, I have never waited more than a few minutes, even on a larger order.

affordable to park. Please keep parking rates the same forever. I can run up to the gates in 5 minutes to catch a flight at the last minute if I have to. The staff are always nice...friendly. It makes a difference when they say hi and are kind to you bc the small town feel is why I love Grand Forks and ND in general and the kindness of people. But big cities can be so unfriendly and cold so I hope this airport stays exactly this way. I always come here va Fargo if I can. And even the parking attendants are nice. Once my ticket flew away as is typical here in ND with strong winds. And I searched 30 min in the snow and cold worried they would charge me full fees for looking like I was hiding the ticket for a 3 day trip. But the nice attendant believed me and I even offered to show her my plane ticket but she took my word for it. So touching. Thank you. Means so much. That's how I would be also so I appreciated this. And as I was leaving the airport 2/4/23, I saw this adorable Have a nice day sign! Perfect!!

Had to make it 3 stars because of this hostile, aggressive woman with pink hair and a bull nose ring working the store counter. I bought a ceramic item at the gift shop and she couldn't hand me a bag, she told me to get in the back of the line if I want a bag... My dad asked about the sale on the shirts and she snapped at him and said she doesn't know and threatened my dad that she can kick him of his flight all because he asked if anyone else knew how much the sale was... I can hear her talking like a b*tch to every single customer. Especially to men.. she needs to work somewhere else.

Very nice airport and the folks here greet you warmly and are just friendly. Everything moved along nicely. None of that typical surliness you get other places! Even if you're just passing thru, its a very nice change! They have TSA Pre here now. Way nice. Only thing that'd be better is some kind if notices on times things open here. Checkin doesn't open until 0900 and if you're returning a car plan on emailed receipt. TSA doesn't open until 0900 either. Wifi has been noted already. Oh one thing - you gotta love a departure lounge with a nice big bar! Who's with me?!

GFK is a pearl. The airport has excellent parking out front. There is a short term lot, then 2 successive long term lots, both of which are easy walks, for $10/day and $8/day. The airport services Delta (Skywest) and some Allegiant Air flights. Delta has typically 5 flights a day to MSP where you can connect to anywhere. The seating is plentiful. There is one restaurant and bar which services both Pre and Post TSA areas. The food is decent, but simple. Don't come 2 hours early because the TSA opens about an hour before boarding. There is TSA Pre check, but not clear (this wouldn't make a difference typically).

I travel a lot and have seen my share of airports around the globe. Bad weather closing MSP to landings forced a sightseeing opportunity for me to GFK. It would not be my first choice to divert to but it beat running out of fuel. Unfortunately, while on the ground waiting for fuel, the flight crew timed out so a fuel diversion turned into an involuntary overnighter. The things I thought were great are all due to the small town, midwest location. People are friendly, honest and helpful. I had to remind myself a few times that there was not much I could do about the situation and that it was not their fault. I also had to remind myself that I was in a small town locale and not in a major metro area where everyone is trying to scam you for something. As an example, they put us up at a local motel but because there were 250+ passengers, getting us to the motel required some creativity. Uber here is not really in play and there is maybe 1 taxi in the area. Some guy that was dressed like a farmer was encouraging me to board his unmarked vehicle with the guarantee that he was going to take me to the right spot. My city-slicker radar was immediately up thinking this was some taxi scam like in Vietnam where they get you into a vehicle and then drive you all over only to charge you a bunch of money or risk getting roughed up by the locals. It turns out, this guy was honest and this is what small town America does (help each other out) when there are people in need. He had been called in when he heard that a plane was grounded and there were a lot of people needing to be transported. Every person I ran into at GFK was of the same helpful mentality. Think the only low mark I could give (and it really isn't reasonable for me to expect that they could do anything about this) is that the airport is so small that it really was not able to handle much in the way of passenger services. I was one of the first ones off the plane and had the brilliant idea of simultaneously calling the Delta Airlines Diamond Medallion desk where dedicated service reps bend over backwards to assist their top tier frequent flyers and racing to the rental car desks to try to rent a car to make the 5 hour drive home to MSP. As it turns out, No other flights out of GFK were available to me (simply because there are few and only on smaller planes that tend to be full) and because GFK is such a small, focused destination, there are very few cars available to rent. In my case, very few equated to zero. This was all a bummer because it ensured that I would had to partake in the finest Ramada Inn and Pizza Delivery service that Grand Forks, ND had to offer. If I had a bit more time, I'm certain that I could have learned a bit about de-tassling corn or the finer points of farm implement maintenance. Overall, GFK is a nice, small, regional airport for scheduled air service. You can't get confused because there is only 1 small road in and out of the airport, 1 small terminal, 1 TSA check point, 1 place to buy coffee, etc. You would have to be a moron to get lost, be late, miss your flight, etc. so even the most travel challenged person should be able to be successful here. For that I give it high marks and I'm happy I have experienced it but I'm not in a rush to get back anytime soon. Like I said though, it beats running out of fuel.

U cannot f*ck up on this 1 Albert! Airport Instructions: there r 2 gates n 1 security checkpoint only! don't know if there r restrooms; I hate 2 tell u that u may have 2 think back 2 when u were the age of 3 n pee in ur pants n if ur starving, u only have 1 choice or bite ur fingers!

They are not equipped to do pre-TSA checks so you have to remove your laptops and jackets off, but they let you keep your dignity... I mean shoes on. TSA are somewhat overly cautious here... they searched through my toiletries bag over and over again... to find what they thought were scissors. By golly ... they were right... who knew the free kit from hotel stay sewing kit's scissors were such a threat? Well at Grand Forks Airport it is... traveller beware!!!. After all that and 7-10 minutes wasted, I am supposed to put my items back in? Ridiculous I tell ya. The flights out of here are at really crazy times like 5am for the 1st flight. TSA doesn't open until 30 -45 min prior to the 1st flight, so getting there too early may not be fruitful. This airport has 2 gates... one for Delta and 1 for Allegiant. Parking at this airport rivals bigger airports at $10-12/ day. I guess when you are the only game in town, you can charge what you want. Overall the airport is clean, has 1 baggage claim carousel and 3-4 rental car agencies. Of course you are paying the price of almost $250/ week, but what are your choices? That's right... you don't have any.

What in the world is going on here?? Definitely not the comforts of your average airport which is never saying much in the first place. The person who checks your bag will be the one who ultimately takes your ticket at the gate - a one man show. Hope they never get sick and have to go home for the day. TSA does not open until 1 hour before your flight so you have to wait on the non-gate side and non food side - then by the time you clear security to go to the restaurant you have to rush and then inhale your food and the employees of the restaurant could care less you are alive. The burger was decent though or maybe I was just starving... The weather is horrendous at times in the winter - I had 4 flights canceled trying to get to Grand Forks and was re-routed to Fargo a mere 2.5 hour drive to Devils Lake. I was able to fly back out of this frozen little parcel of Americana that I will cherish in my memory forever. Eat first, check the weather and get out of here as soon as humanly possible.

BEWARE HUNTERS, if you're carrying a gun through GRAND FORKS airport better make sure you have the perfect gun case that locks in every direction perfectly. Airport supervisor and TSA have nothing better to do then harass hunters and look at every detail of my triple locked case and reject it and then tell me I couldn't board aircraft. They found me at gate, AFTER I checked in case at ticket counter and returned rental car, to tell me my case wouldn't work and I had to find a 4th lock. Even though the case would not open with 3 locks!!! I went back out of security and started to call a cab to rush to the nearest hardware store in GRAND FORKS, flipping out, when they found me and said I was lucky and they found a 4th lock and I should be thankful ... and now I could leave. Serious this happened. Don't fly through Grand Forks if you're a hunter, they have nothing better to do than HARASS HUNTERS and GUN carrying citizens. I don't know who the TSA supervisor or AIRPORT supervisors names but they are power hungry and will harass you. This was after I had flown through Chicago OHare and TSA said the case was fine and legal.

Nice, small airport that has friendly working employees and a clean environment. GFK is a great sized airport for when you are traveling and don't want to drive hours away or wait in long lines! Only down side is when the connecting flights cost an arm and a leg.

Going back to the mothership, there aren't a lot of options as far as airports go but this one suits me just fine. To say that this is an international airport is somewhat of a misnomer at the least. The airport is small and I mean really small (two terminals). The only international flights may be from the private sector but as far as commercial airlines go, it is completely domestic, as there are only two airlines that serve this airport (with another coming soon). Needless to say, very few flights that come and go from this location on a daily basis. The airport is newly remodeled but the thing that stands out here can be summed up in one word: SERVICE! *No long lines getting through security. You only need to show up a 1/2 hour before your flight even though the TSA recommends longer. *My golf bag was overweight but rather than charging me the extra fee, the guy taking the bags lifted one end off the scale to ensure that I was underweight. *We locked our camera in our rental car upon returning it and a little panicked because the car rental wasn't open yet (a drop off box). Finally some showed up and retrieved the keys for us. She also told us we didn't have to worry as they would have mailed it to us. *Baggage claim is a breeze. No waiting here as the plane is offloaded quickly and practically waiting for you curbside. *Free WiFi....nuff said. Yeah, this isn't a place to people watch or do your shopping while waiting for your flight but for a regional airport, it is pretty tough to beat GFK.

Clean fast small and easy to get through. When traveling to Grand Forks it was a really nice option for me.

The "international" airport's small size is actually really convenient, made possibly, i'm guessing, because it's located in the middle of nowhere and therefore it was pretty much empty. With only two terminals, friendly TSA people (I know, I couldn't believe it either), a long table equipped wit more power outlets than you will ever need, AND pretty fast free wifi? Yes, please.

This is a GREAT little airport! Recently remodeled, only 3 months ago...this place looks beautiful. Only a few airlines fly out of here: looks like Delta Connection and Allegiant Airlines. All employees were super friendly. Rental cars are on-site. Free WiFi! I didn't find any complimentary coffee as Mark F had mentioned. But they do have a small cafe that served coffee and some snacks -- nothing too special there, IMHO.

Probably the smallest airport I've ever been in! However, that means no hassle. My flight left at 640am and the security screeners didn't start work til just after 6... so no need to arrive abundantly early to deal with security & catch your flight. Easy to deal with a rental car here, you just drop it right at the entrance and leave the keys in the box (I have no clue when those people come to work. Its kind of nice to not deal with shuttles and massive airport lines. Plus, you never need to worry about getting lost, ha!

I just can't take it Grand Forks is so damn boring Get me out of here (Oh, the GFK international airport. What a quaint little place. On the POSITIVE side, you can walk across it in 30 seconds (literally) because it is so small. Oh, and it offers FREE... yes FREE... parking for up to 2 hours! Stick THAT up your tailpipe, Fargo (Hector) International airport! On the NEGATIVE side, it is so tiny that the TSA screeners have NOTHING better to do than to ruffle through your bags to look for bombs, or guns... or toothpaste containers that are too large. Props to you, GFK, for running such a tidy little airport. Now, if I just had some toothpaste to brush my teeth...)

If I could give 0 stars I would! First, I am 9 months pregnant with a 2-year-old trying to get home to have my second baby. I was treated with such disrespect and coldness. We arrived 30 minutes before take off. Yes, I am aware that being there an hour before is recommended but my husband had to drop us off because he didn't get out of class until time for us to get there an hour before. It was basically a ghost building. No one was at the sign in station when we arrived and almost didn't even get tickets printed. We were then rushed through security while they took half of our contents out of our bags. Stressful already for my two-year-old leaving his Dad and flying for the first time. Then, we had to quickly stuff our contents back in our bags and run to the gate. When we got there, my mom got her ticket signed in and they took our bags to the plane. Me and my mother were both wearing masks as per their recommendations. They asked my mother how old my child was she said he turned 2 last week. I was holding my child with my huge belly reaching for our tickets so we could get signed in. One rude male worker then proceeded to shove, not hand, SHOVE a grown adult mask in mine and my baby's face forcefully saying "he has to wear a mask." Shocked, I stated, "That's ridiculous. He just turned two. I doubt he will wear one but I'll try." Then said very rudely Responded, "oh he HAS to wear it the WHOLE time!" As I tried to put the mask on my baby, my freshly 2-year-old had a panic attack and would not put it on. He then tried to run onto the plane and run away from me trying to put it on him. The two female attendees and two male attendees stood their like statues making comments at my distressed child like "we haven't had any OTHER problems with other 2-year-olds!" Then, finally I asked them with tears in my eyes and holding my crying child "what am I supposed to do. I needed to get home to have a baby and he won't wear it and it's traumatizing him." The females turned their head from me, ignoring me, and the other male attendee said "I'll go get your bags." When we got our bags and went back down to my husband who, thankfully, was still there, he thought it was because we were late and had too many bags but when I told him what happened, he went and talked to the manager (who was almost invisible to the place). She told my husband that "we refused to wear masks and were flailing our arms everywhere." Lie! We were wearing our masks. He then said, "oh really. Were you there?" The lady responded with, "well, no." Then another man said we don't give refunds. So we had to rent a car to drive 20 hours home with a toddler and me being 9-months pregnant. Flash forward a week and my husbands flight to come home for delivery gets canceled. Rescheduled the flight. Rescheduled flight canceled a week later, 3 days before my due date. Horrible service. Unprofessional. Rude. Does not put the customer first. Did not work with us or try to resolve the issue. We were completely ignored and disrespected and me and my child were treated borderline inhumane. I will never use them again. I will be going to Fargo for future flights. Oh and to top it off Delta refunded us the flight we weren't even allowed to board with their sincere apologies because their policy stated that my child should have been cleared to fly!

Wow...my house is bigger than this airport. I caught a 5am flight out of here to MSP for a connection. They had a coffee machine set up on a table next to one of the two gates with a stack of cups next to it. I had to double check to make sure I was in the airport and not a waiting room of my car shop. I could make jokes about how small it is all day long, but it is a refreshing change to deal with an airport like this compared to ORD, which is always a cluster-f.

It's tough to give 5 stars to an airport, but I've been through my fair share so I'll tell ya why it was a 5 star airport. One word....Service. From the rental car counter to the check in counter the people that worked there were super nice and helpful. Even TSA was friendly (shocking, I know). I don't see myself TRYING to fly through Grand Forks for anything, but I won't dread my trip if I return to "El Forkes Grandes"

One would only come here from the West Coast because they would have to for business and certainly need to in -0' Degree Temp. But I have to say when there are no Snow Storms or Blizzards then this Airport is smooth as silk to get in and out absolutely no Drama. Grand Forks has great service and the agents put a move on it which is a rare quality in airports.

Grand Forks International Airport has just as much international flare as your local IHOP restaurant. And on a very positive note, with only two gates, one baggage carousel and one security checkpoint, you'll never wonder where you're supposed to go.

GFK, not to be confused with JFK, is a small North Dakota regional airport. Comes complete with two gates, a few airlines, a handful of puddle jumpers, one baggage carousel, hot dish and pop. Flew into GFK from SFO which definitely beats the 6 hour drive up from Minneapolis. Uff' da!

The difference between summer and winter flights out of here is what inevitably influences one's review here. I have been here twice in winter and hated it. In sunny weather it is great. Keep an open mind - it's a small airport, no frills, but has what you need. Renting a car here is a breeze and returns are even easier. My one gripe about any area near the Canadian border - it smells like cows. Nothing like that odor in the heat...yikes!

GFK is an excellent small and modern airport that is well designed. Every employee I met did a great job.

Grand Forks is a small but nice airport. When you fly out of here the hardest thing to remember is that you aren't flying out of a major international airport. There are only a handful of flights. With that being said the services are adequate for its size, check in is a breeze, security is quick, and the seating isn't too bad. The only problem is the weather, but that is out of the hands of the airport.

The terminal is great! I would definitely give it a 5 star, if it weren't for one service person who was rude and made an unfriendly gesture to some customers that he thought didn't see. Otherwise it was smiles and friendliness. Awesome experience!

The did a beautiful job, aesthetically speaking, with the new terminal. But the frugal nature of this area led them to severely underbuild. "Better safe than sorry, dontcha know." So, all the issues mentioned previously: tight gate seating, dismal choices of food and drink and limited hours of operation are all true. And now the area economy is about to soar. So, less than 2 years into the new building, the Airport Authority has asked architects for plans to add two new gates.

I got this airport to go to vacation to Florida for two weeks , middle of winter. left my vehicle there and no where to plug the car. When we got back our vehicle wouldn't start. Went to shack to ask for help and told the boaster pack was not working. . Called for tow truck and told they wouldn't come for 48 hours. There was about 20 cars same boat has me, we were all trying to help each other. Some got started and some are still there.I would recommend this airport for winter
