San Antonio International Airport

It's a small airport compared with many others but that is what is good about this one. Easy access and easy departure, leaving. Public transportation is very convenient, right at the exit or entrance. We heard that will be expanded and renovated. Hopefully will remain convenient after the renovation. Would love to see more small businesses. Be back soon to San Antonio.

I had a pleasant experience at the San Antonio International Airport. The terminal is clean, well-maintained, and organized, making it easy to navigate between gates. The airport offers some fun local touches, such as unique souvenirs, including “San Antonio, Texas” T-shirts that highlight the city’s charm. The holiday decorations at the gates, like the train display and “Ho Ho Ho” ornaments, added a cheerful and festive vibe, making my travel experience even better. Amenities like courtesy phones are conveniently located, ensuring travelers have access to basic services if needed. Overall, it’s a compact yet welcoming airport that captures the spirit of San Antonio while providing travelers with a smooth and enjoyable experience. Would recommend flying through here!

Love the design where a rental car facility is connected to the terminal. It's much more convenient for everybody. Even though it's not really a huge airport, it has quite a number of restaurants inside. There is a gas station at the entrance of the airport where you could fill up the tank of a rental car before return.

I go through this airport a few times each year. It’s an airport okay. It’s not meant to be glamorous. It’s simple and has everything you need at an airport. Planes that take you places. With that said, all the staff I’ve interacted with every time I am flying in or out of San Antonio, have been helpful and friendly. I have always been from curb to checkin through security to the loo to gate in about 30 minutes. The worse part about the airport here is leaving my family until I return.

Security runs fast and efficient like a well-oiled machine. Unfortunately, there aren't enough places to sit. When it's reasonably busy, there are always about fifty people sitting on the floor while all the seats are occupied. I've never seen an airport so ill-prepared to have people waiting for flights.

Clean and organized at this Airport. TSA very friendly and the waiting board no issue. I like this small airport from San Antonio ✈️🩵💙

Third level from the parking garage takes you to the terminal. We were through baggage check and TSA quickly for terminal B. The airport is clean and efficient. The parking garage is one of the cleanest I've parked in.

The flight attendant who help me with my boarding pass was very courteous took my luggage and printed out better pass so that I can have a safe journey. Overall every one was so helpful. Thank you all for making my experience a pleasant comfortable flight and I don't like flying.

This is a small airport that's easy to navigate River walk is just 10-15 minutes away so very convenient Food options are scarce though

Although a little smaller, I do like this airport because they are very efficient when it comes to check-in and baggage. The signage is easy to follow and in the pick up area is not chaotic. The restrooms are also fairly clean and the staff is kind. My only slight inconvenience or suggestion would be more options for parking around the airport or affordable for those who may not be able to cover high fees.

This is my hometown airport so this is like my home away from home. It's a small enough airport so you don't have to arrive hours ahead of schedule. Parking can be limited in short term but there's a valet option if you're cutting it close. Clear and TSA pre-check are almost always empty.

Great airport. Good food options. Cute gift shops. My favorite restaurants are La Fruiteria and Whataburger.

I had a good experience at San Antonio Airport , because I have TSA pre-check along with Clear. It did seem like the regular line was long and a little chaotic, even though it's midday. I also had the advantage of having carry-on only which always helps tremendously. The airport has two runways and does a couple of International flights per day. The majority of flights are domestic requiring change at major hubs like Houston. The layout is pretty simple and it's well signposted. The staff that I encountered were courteous and kind. They have several restaurants located in B Terminal.

Easy access airport after landing. The sign is very clear for all directions. We were able to find the baggage claim and rental car area easily. Although we ask about the rental car elevator connecting to bridge the rental car center. Hall for walking is wide enough to pass the slow moving people. The art displays and wall mural is beautiful. Restroom is clean on our visit. We were definitely enjoy our visit.

I have been flying out of SAT...average 6 times a year...since 2019...since 2022 SAT has been getting progressively worse...specifically TSA...if you have TSA Pre-Check...go to general TSA...the agents working the Pre-Check side have NO sense of time...the gentleman working the XRay machine this morning was operating like he was in training...I spent 20 minutes getting through TSA with Pre-Check...the parking garage (long term) was full at 9 am...if you have to fly out of SAT...give yourself a 90 minute cushion from your boarding time...you're going to need it

Unclaimed? Not something to associate an airport with. SAT is better than most. As I preach, smaller is better when it comes to airports, so long as you can still get a direct flight.

Parking is diff full had to park on the very top when we left for our trip. The airport is clean has lots of places to eat and pick up last minute essentials. We went through security quickly.

When I moved to SATX (recently) I drove here so I had not been to the airport until last month when we went on Holiday! I travel quite a bit and I have to say this airport is one of my favorites for several reasons: it's very clean, not as busy as other major (international) airports and the best part, they offer free long term parking for Veterans with DV plates! That saved my husband and me a pretty penny! Very grateful for that! Overall, great experience! I look forward to traveling often out of this airport!

They really represent the end of the alphabet by having a Whataburger and a Vino Volo right next to each other. What wine goes with one of those bad boys? Maybe something from the Cowgirl Winery? I don't think Vino Volo carries that but maybe you can special order! I had the (dis)pleasure of having a very long delay out of this airport where my 5p flight didn't leave until close to midnight. It's a small airport so I was able to walk back and forth a few times during the delay and take it all in. There was a variety of food options available and most were open fairly late (not till midnight, but there were options as the evening droned on. TSA was pretty easy with Pre-Check, but honestly, even without pre-check, it wouldn't have been too long of a wait. I guess that depends on when you're getting here though. I'd return here if I was ever going back to San Antonio, because it's the only option! And if I'm delayed again, I'll park my butt up at the Vino Volo bar again!

Clean, small for a city but spacious and efficient No need to take computers out of bags when you go thru TSA, their machines are more advanced Still need carpet for shoeless wear Easy in and out parking, loading, departure , etc Airport is central to most of the city, so nice and close to fly in and out

Overall, I was impressed by this airport. And once they finish their upgrade, I'm sure it will be more than efficient to serve all that fly in and out of here. Signage inside the airport was easy to follow, getting around was quite easy. Baggage claim was simple, not a far walk from the gates to where you claim your bag. There was a decent seating area here which allowed for me to get a quick work assignment done while I waited for my bag to come around the carousel. Getting to ride share pick up was a bit of a task, but that is what it is and exactly the same at every airport you go to. Coming back to the airport was simple as well. My driver pulled right up to where my airline was. Selection of stores/eateries inside are a bit lacking, but I'm sure that will be solved in no time.

Have flown into SAT many times. It has a good choices of places to get a bite or have a cocktail. Baggage claim could use some modifications as it is small and crowded. Not as upscale as some airports, but o really a good choice to fly in and out of.

I was surprised about how small this airport truly is, it has low ceilings too but things are convenient. Terminals A and B are not connected, what a bummer. I also got "randomly" selected for an electronics swipe and it seems like I always get selected when I'm flying from TX back to Ohare. Maybe I fit the profile for being part of a cartel?? Guilty as charged, for transporting a lot snacks and cookies. :) Anyway, the restrooms could be cleaned a bit more. More food choices are need in Terminal B, I wasn't particularly happy for both of my meals. Plus, I couldn't get to Terminal A to finally try out Whataburger because the two terminals are not connected, what the?? By the way, I don't believe Whataburger is better than In N Out, your opinion Texas peeps?? But the jury is still out. All in all, the taxi stand and ride share area was quick to get to and drop off was easy from the expressway. I noticed American is flying in every two hours, so this warrants not uno, dos, tres, but Quattro stars.

The people here are incredibly kind! I miss the Texas hospitality I get every time I go home. Unlike the larger airports in Texas, this airport has staff who work hard, but make you feel like family.

San Antonio has is a smaller airports, it was renovated several years ago and much improved appearance. It's easy to get in and out. I normally park in the economy parking lot and it's reasonable, currently $10 day. Shuttles run throughout the day& night so if you missed one shuttle there will be another coming soon. It has the usual eateries and as you already know, overpriced but that's how it is in the airport . Normally employees are kind recently had an employee at the bag drop tell me next time put my address tags before I come to drop off counter. Yes this makes sense, but she wouldn't look at me when she said it and her tone was annoyed , and it was only 5AM..! Otherwise always had great experience flying out of SAT

Spacious, clean and easy to navigate. No airport is perfect. However, some are better than others. This is one of the better!

San Antonio International isn't the flashiest of airports, but it gets the job done. I've been here a small handful of times and can't honestly think of anything remarkable about it-which means that it did it's job. When I arrived this past week, I was impressed by a few different live music groups setup throughout the terminal. I think they were welcoming in Fiesta, a big local event. That made the experience a little more upbeat and fun. There are plenty of food options and the gates are clearly marked and easy to find. Bathrooms are clean and there was ample seating at the gates.

My first time at SA International and it is decorated just as festive as the city. The restaurant options are worthy of having one a layover and a good airport meal. Every day appears to be a fiesta and the staff are very helpful and welcoming to their city.

We don't fly out often, but when we do, using SAT airport is pretty easy to maneuver. We use long term parking, gets pretty full up at the bottom, so you gotta drive up to the 3rd or 4th level to find a spot. Still not bad, they have elevators. The kiosk are easy to use. Just gotta get used to them. We flew out Southwest, and we were happy with their service. Getting to the airport is fairly easy, all the signs are helpful. Plenty of shops and restaurants if you have to wait for awhile. We didn't have to get there two hours early, but we did. Better to be safe than sorry. We will definitely be flying out of this airport more often.

Easy airport to navigate, clean and adequate domestic and international flights on a daily basis. Getting through security is no hassle. I usually fly in and out on Southwest Airlines here so I'm familiar with the terminal. There are several locally owned shops and national chain restaurants. Easy to find baggage claim and ground transportation. I've needed help or had some questions on occasion and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Not a review. More a complaint about parking. Why do the customers have to pay an additional charge to park. It wasn't us that wanted yall to go digital. I'll be happy to grab a ticket to park.

At this airport the employees are so helpful, fast no long wait. It's a small airport it's an in and out.

Been a very long time since I've returned back here to San Antonio airport. It's as I remember it. The most amazingly friendliest people you will ever meet. Everywhere you go. The airport even more friendly and they make flying through here fun and look forward to it. If you get a chance to visit, I highly recommend. Airline Agents are so nice. TSA was a breeze. And good selection of place to have a quick bite before you board. Cheers!

Huge airport, easily get lost because the roads getting here are all fcked up n under construction, u miss a turn ur fcked. Can't make no damn u turns in this state, u gotta go around in circles to get bck where u were going in the 1st place, then u can take another wrong turn n good luck. Just pay attention to the signs . Thank gosh I came late at night, cld only imagine how cluster fcked it wld b during day. Line of cars, 1 lane, picking up arrivals at 1230am. Fck I hate airports! Remember where u park ur car as well. I'd rather drive then fly any where. Oh n none of vending machines hve tap pay, gotta swipe card.

Airport staff are personable. I was pleased to see that no shuttle was necessary from the rental center to the terminals. National Car rental return staff were professional. Delta staff at ticketing were very nice. TSA was efficient and nice despite having to pull my bag for inspection. They got me on my way quickly.

Getting in and out of SAT is always quick and easy for me. Last week, I caught an early morning flight to Dallas and with the use of Clear and TSA Pre-Check, I move from the entrance to grabbing my items from the security conveyer within 10 mins and most times less than that! I love that SAT helps the local businesses by having them in the food courts ...Boss Bagels, Merit Coffee, etc. so the time that I save getting through security, I use for browsing the book stores, grabbing coffee or something to munch on during the flight. Thanks @SAT for the experiences, I can't wait to see what comes out of future enhancements!

San Antonio International Airport is disappointing and could really use an update. The airport looks old and feels like it's stuck in the 1960s. Dirty.

This airport is excellent--it's compact and efficient, so there's no need for trains or shuttles, making it very straightforward to get around. The security lines are usually short, which adds to the convenience. I find myself flying into this airport about 3-4 times a year, and each time it makes the travel experience smoother and more pleasant. .

Nice airport overall. TSA moved quickly, lots of restaurants & shops to choose from, easy to navigate, and clean facilities. You can't go wrong with all that.

San Antonio International Airport is a smaller and older airport, but it's age and size don't matter as much as the ease of access and generally helpful staff. The lines tend to move quickly here. For our 6am flight, we arrived to security at 430 and were through by 455. That's despite the very busy lines for bag checks and the many people in the TSA queue. The food at the airport terminal A is spread out with no centralized food court. However, options like Whataburger and La Gloria are strong choices even locally. Prices actually aren't inflated very much even though they're inside an airport. It's an overall easy airport to navigate.

Such a seamless experience. Arrived and did not have to 'think' from being greeted by a SWA agent guiding me yo a kiosk. To another agent guiding me yo bag drop . The security directing all visitors yo the appropriate security line. Every person at 5 am was kind pleasant and seemed to like being there. Huh? When does this ever happen. Speaks volumes to the SAT culture. Stupendous!

San Antonio airport. TSA is sometimes really backed up but usually quick. Not that big of an airport.

It's a pretty small airport. It was my first time here and I had to catch another separate flight out upon arrival. Usually at most airports, you can remain in the terminals and have time to chill out until the next flight. Nope. They apparently close it out after the last flight which was around 230am. The TSA line doesn't reopen until 330pm so I ended up having to go back and out and reenter. There are only 2 lounges here and it's restricted to specific airlines.

"Yeah, I'm flying out on SATurday" (see what I did there? lol) "What time you flying out Derek?" "About 3:30, so I'll probably get there at about 12:30 knowing it could be as bad as LAX." "Oh you don't need to get there that early! 2 hours is more than enough!" And they were right lol. In fact, I'm glad I didn't get there 3 hours early; otherwise, I would have been pretty bored out of my mind, even while walking up and down Terminal A at San Antonio International Airport (SAT). Considering that San Antonio is the 7th largest city in the states while Los Angeles is the 2nd largest, I was surprised to hear that getting through the San Antonio Airport would be smooth sailing. Or should I say, smooth flying? lol I was even more surprised to see how small the airport was. It only has two terminals: A and B, and B is pretty small, only about half the size of Terminal A. Maybe less than half because the only airlines at Terminal B are American and United. I flew Delta on my recent trip to and from San Antonio, so I was fortunate enough to be at Terminal A. However, they don't have such a wide variety of eateries there. I'd say it's pretty comparable to the North Satellite Terminal in SeaTac (Seattle-Tacoma International Airport) where I flew Alaska two times earlier this year, IYKYK. None of the food options there impressed me enough to give more than 3 stars in any of my reviews, and the same applied here! With how small the airport is as a whole, Terminal A was surprisingly quite long. It's a pretty long walk from one end to the other that a moving walkway would be really helpful here, especially for the frail and weak. Like I said, only American and United Airlines fly in and out of Terminal B, so if you're flying either of those airlines, definitely expect limited food options. Besides coffee shops, the only other dining options in Terminal B are Charley's, Sbarro, Alamo Alehouse, and Rosario's Mexican Cafe y Cantina. All but Rosario's are located at the Food Court right by the TSA checkpoint. In spite of the lack of shop, dine, and relax options, the primary reason why I took off a star, you really shouldn't have any issues flying into and out of this airport. The only issue I had was picking up my rental car at the AVIS Preferred counter, but that's another story I saved for that review. Luckily, dropping off my rental car was seamless in spite of the numerous circles I had to make to get up to the top level of the Rental Car Center. Outside of the Rental Car Center, checking in for my flight was seamless. There are kiosks available to print out your boarding passes and pay a fee for your checked baggage. There was barely a line for dropping off the checked baggage. The agent that served me was right next to the JetBlue monitor that I thought she was with JetBlue instead of Delta. That made for a nice bubbly conversation with her when she asked me where I'd be flying to, which was LA in my case. LA being Los Angeles, not Louisiana lol. The security checkpoint wasn't too bad either. Usually at other airports, you'd have to show your boarding pass and ID, but here, I was told I only needed to show the ID. Interesting to say the least! However, the line for general boarding got a little confusing. The signage wasn't sufficient enough to get me to choose the right line the first time, so I had to go around and through a maze before I could see a TSA agent. There's also a TV monitor that shows the estimated wait time at the TSA checkpoint. A friendly reminder that liquids aren't allowed to be carried through the TSA checkpoint. I had a full bottle of water, so I literally had to chug it all before going through security. They did have a liquid dumping station where you could dump your liquids into even though I personally think it's pretty wasteful to be doing that. Overall, a decent airport, especially compared to LAX! I did not see a way to go from Terminal A to Terminal B without having to go through security again, but if you ask around, I'm sure there's a way.

Super easy airport to navigate. Rental car return at the same terminal as the airport. Easy walk from the rental car to baggage check. Not too many places to eat inside the terminal once you go through TSA. Not a bad airport and had an on-time departure with Southwest airlines.

Pretty easy in and out. Restaurants looked plentiful and the baggage claim and car rental spot were both easy to get to. We had no issues.. will see about security check point logistics on Monday when we fly out. Respectfully, Bryan Oklahoma City

This felt like one of the easiest airports to navigate. Signage was legible, staff were friendly and TSA was consistent. Looking forward to the next time I'm in SA!

The airport seems large, they have a lot of restaurants and bars, but they seemed to close early on weekdays. The airport is easy to get around in and everything (ground transportation, lodging, etc) seems to be clearly marked. The rental cars are located in the airport. They have a bridge to the garage with an easy walk to the rental car center within the airport. They also have free WiFi within the airport. The airport is also close to downtown about a 15 minute drive. We had no issues finding plenty of gas stations or restaurants near the airport prior to our departure. Getting through TSA was relatively easy. It was crowded on a Sunday. They only had a few TSA agents working but we made it through in about 15 minutes. We had plenty of time prior to our flight so we checked out one the restaurant for dinner and a drink. The airport is very clean and well taken care of. Nice airport a lot of amenities people are nice. All in all a great trip.

Small airport quick mostly, a few spots to eat and drink regular prices. Not to much to complain about except the bathrooms seemed to be full everywhere...maybe too many people for the systems in place.

Some weekends just aren't long enough.... San Antonio airport is perfect.... Perfect size terminal...Quick quality services... everything is just a few minutes walk.... No mater if you are arrivals or departure going to either Terminal. Its very spacious and everything works very efficiently. I truly enjoy using this facility because theres never an issue and everything "just works". Bathrooms are always clean!

Our recent experiences have not been positive. Today, we arrived 1 hour 15 minutes prior to our flight, which was pushing it. We'd hit traffic in San Antonio. The big problem was that the regular parking garage was full (or rather, shut down because only 40 spaces were left). We've parked offsite before. But this time, drove to RED lot. CLOSED. Drove to GREEN lot. CLOSED. Had to circle around to parking garage to find out only YELLOW lot is open. And that's farther away than other offsite lots. We were picked up immediately, taken to the airport (about 8 minutes away) and checked our bags at the curb. They made it on to the plane even though we were 55 minutes from departure when we did that. But, this all could have been way less stressful for travelers if: The original signage telling people the main lot was closed said to proceed to the YELLOW lot. AND there was good signage to find the YELLOW lot. People on our transport bus said it was terrible--we just followed someone who talked to one of the people holding the signs and got lucky that they had good directions.

Cozy, low key airport that fits well with the city. Was easy to get in and out. Rental car agencies are connected and a short walk away. A handful of restaurants and maybe two lounges that require status or some sort. About 20 min from city center or so.

San Antonio Airport has undergone massive renovations since we got here in the late 90's. However, parking is still a challenge. This is the second time we have been here trying to park in short term parking, still no parking spaces are open. The smart move would be to move the rental cars outside the airport like most major airports do. They take up a lot of parking at the airport. Other than that it has become a beautiful airport.

Ok, my first experience at this airport was EPIC! I wanted to copy some of the thoughts I had throughout my trip Monday to Wednesday this week July 2024. It start out at SAT going to LAS. I got cancelled and rescheduled the very next day first thing. I had never flown out of SAT, I was clueless. It did not matter. Everyone must have known I was new at this airport. So first of all I didn't have any checked luggage (United/Alaska). The porters outside were great and wanted to help, so they ordered me a wheelchair from Prospect. I didn't think I needed it but the walk was far and I had to ride a tram. So, I get through to the TSA with the help of a wonderful Prospect employee (big tip). He did everything for me seeing that I had a broken wrist. TSA even had a heart and realized that I did not pose a problem with not taking my wrist shield off (I wasn't going to anyway). This airport was extremely clean. Staff I encountered were not real, they were nice and wanted to be at their jobs on "Monday" helping people get to their destinations on time. I was impressed with everything. There was this place I ordered a sub with no lettuce. It was perfect! No long line, no angry people not getting food, etc., it was really good. Also, I needed to have a seat for the second leg of the short trip and received a favorable seat due to me having oxygen POC with cords etc. The United rep was on point and did not complain, but she also noted that I was truly in-tune with the on-going situation of the delays and was very sympathetic to their situation that she kept telling her co-workers that I am a very understanding person; I know how to handle volatile situations and I was a cool. I like her alot, her name was Merna at United.

Why is so hard for the San Antonio airport baggage claim team to off load multiple flights landing at the same time? You have three baggage carousals to choose from, and everyone crowded around one working carousel. Come on, step up and get it together. This occurs way too often.

What a great smaller airport. Well maintained, clean, options for food and drink, not crazy busy and easy to get around in. I fly into and out of a lot of airports... with Atlanta being the main one... if you are used to something like this this airport is s breeze!

For an airport in a larger city, the time to get out or into the terminal is short. Within an hour I pick up or drop off my rental, and get through TSA pre. I always arrive and leave at Terminal A and there a a few place to got to if you want to eat something before boarding. The car rental places are also on site, which makes it so much convenient.
