The five star is for how easy it is to maneuver and parking is super easy as well. It's nice there is a upper arrival drop-off and a lower pick-up. Security is usually smooth and they give directions. Small and quaint! Nice to see out the windows and snap a shot of the planes. Now the other....2 star on the vibe of this airport! Richmond itself is a really cool city with a lot of history and art. The city is filled with the most amazing architecture and art! This airport feels like you are in an interrogation room. Bright too bright florescent lighting and nothing on the walls that shows any character of any sorts. Some random cars sitting inside the lobby at times. It just needs a better welcoming feel to it. Travel should be fun and inviting!
It was our first time flying into Richmond since we usually drove down 95 but this is a decent airport with many options. From my initial movements throughout the facility from gate to baggage to car rental was a very seamless process which could be only enhanced when thinking about when there are busier times. So far so good at this airport and I will fly in again to this location.
As far as airports go, this one is very nice. It is clean, bright, and everyone is so friendly, even down to the shuttle bus driver shout out to Nicole!. It was well-organized and I felt the least amount of stressed I've ever felt in an airport!
Very nice and quaint airport the Honolulu airport could take lessons from them on cleanliness, hospitality, and customer service. Only issue was when I got off my plane, there were not signs immediately telling you the way to baggage claim. Overall very nice airport.
The airport is empty on a Saturday early afternoon. TSA wasn't even busy...like, 6 people in line. My kinnuh airport. It seemed clean. Places within the airport were easy to get to.
I flew into Richmond international airport on a Friday night and left on a Sunday night. It is a beautiful complex of buildings. I'm not sure when it was rebuilt but looked and felt new to me. Moving through the airport and the way in and the way out was quick and easy. I checked bags easy pickup on both sides. All the usual beverage eating and souvenir stores. Bathrooms were well maintained. I gave fhem five stars
Splitting up pickup and dropoff is a modern marvel. This airport is very easy to navigate and has a lot of options for spending the money burning a hole in your pocket.
Great airport! I love flying out of RIC because it's easier, never crowded, parking is close and easy and free for one hour, security is a breeze, and the employees are friendly. There is even a business center outside of security.
An odd airport. Two terminals separated by TSA .. so you arent free to roam to other stores/restaurants throughout. Constant gate changes and limited power supply for phones and laptops. One desk in terminal A with a fantastic view and 8 outlets has no power. But you can take a beer to your gate...so that's cool.
Great airport. 5 stars because it's small and clean with short check-in and security lines. Food options are mediocre though. Also, they should consider one TSA security check point instead of two for each concourse. This way, all passengers have access to both concourses. Just a poor design and concept for an airport this small.
